Gearbox has issued a Borderlands 3 patch that adjusts some drop rates based on community feedback and increases Eridium rewards, among other changes. The hotfix will go live today, April 22, by 12 PM PT.
According to the notes on the official site, these changes will help course-correct after Gearbox reduced world drops in an update on April 8. The new drop rates for Legendary weapons will mean you'll no longer be awash with too many sniper rifles, which had been appearing at disproportionately high rates. Completing a Trial with the fastest time will also guarantee you all of its Legendary rewards, aside from any cosmetic variants.
After the patch is applied, you'll be able to locate dedicated sources for more gear including Flama Diddle, Insider, Seeryul Killer, Oldridian, Torch and Old God shields, and all Class Mods.
Finally, the patch will adjust Eridium rewards, as Gearbox says it agrees with the community that those have been too low. The Vault Card chest reward will be increased to 500 Eridium, and Slaughter bosses will drop an extra 500 Eridium. The notes also mention a reminder that Maurice's Black Market Vending Machine will change locations when the patch goes live.
