January 30th Hotfixes: Loot Chest Event, Permanent Maliwan Solo and Rare Buff January 30th Hotfixes: Loot Chest Event, Permanent Maliwan Solo and Rare Buff Some major changes today as we have two events basically made permanent and a third being added! The solo/sub-4 man scaling for Maliwan Takedown has been made permanent, with a new mode coming soon that will re-enable the old 4-player only mode as an optional toggle; the farming frenzy event has been pretty much made permanent, as rare spawns will get a permanent buff to their spawn rate and a buff to their legendary drop to be the same as other bosses; the new event is a rare chest legendary drop buff that will be active through February 13th.

January 23rd Hotfixes: Proving Grounds Loot Buff, Fl4k Buff and More January 23rd Hotfixes: Proving Grounds Loot Buff, Fl4k Buff and More We have some buffs in today's hotfixes, both for loot and a Vault Hunter, as the Proving Grounds chest gets increased drops and Fl4k's Gamma Burst gets almost double it's radiation damage buff effect. There's also fixes for some bugs that could block story progression and Varkid texture changes: Borderlands 3 BL3 Jan 23, 2020 at 15:53 by Starym
Hotfixes for Jan 16th: Huge Anointed Item Buffs, Events Start and More Hotfixes for Jan 16th: Huge Anointed Item Buffs, Events Start and More We have some really big hotfixes today that will introduce both the Maliwan Takedown scaling event, which sees the raid difficulty scale to the number of players entering it, as well as the Farming Frenzy event, which will see more rare mobs spawned and increase legendary drop chances for all bosses and rares, both lasting until January 30th.

But the big news is that anointed items for Fl4k, Moze and Zane are getting massive buffs to offset the power of Amara's, with some tripling the bonuses they offer! There's also some tuning for the bosses in the Handsome Jackpot, as some were on the weak side, a nerf for the Ion Cannon and more.

As usual, the hotfixes go live somewhere between now and midnight CET, which usually means around 7PM.

Farming Frenzy Event: Increased Loot Drops and Rare Spawns Farming Frenzy Event: Increased Loot Drops and Rare Spawns We have a new event coming to Borderlands 3 tomorrow, with loot drops from dedicated sources and rare spawns being significantly increased! The farming fun starts at 9 AM PST, 6PM CET tomorrow, January 16th and lasts through the 30th, and you can also combine it with the other event that's happening in the same time period making the Maliwan Takedown raid easier for solo players, so now's the perfect time to farm anything you might be missing!

Hotfixes for Jan 9th: Anointed Nerfs, Maliwan Takedown Solo Event, Fl4k fixes Hotfixes for Jan 9th: Anointed Nerfs, Maliwan Takedown Solo Event, Fl4k fixes We have the first hotfixes of the new year and they bring news of the scaled down Maliwan Takedown for solo players, which will now take place from January 16th to the 30th, after the recent delay. We also get a lot of fixes for Fl4k's skills and a nerf for those hated Anointed Enforcers (although it's only temporary). Borderlands 3 BL3 Jan 09, 2020 at 21:24 by Starym
Handsome Jackpot DLC Live Now + Launch Trailer Handsome Jackpot DLC Live Now + Launch Trailer Borderlands 3's first big/story DLC has arrived, as Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot is live now! With a brand new story campaign, side-quests, crew challenges, legendaries, skins, and a whole lot of new enemies and locations, this first large chunk of the BL3 DLC pie, and you can start the quest aboard Sanctuary 3 in Moxxi's bar, obviously! There are 6 zones of differing sizes, one being very large, and there is no level cap increase or new skills to be had, however a lot of the new legendaries are very, very good and the loot is plentiful. The DLC is priced at $14,99 and is included in the season pass.

We also got some hotfixes today, focusing on the Maliwan Takedown raid and matchmaking improvements in case you missed it. You can also check out our Vault Hunter guides in case you need a good build for the new content.

Hotfixes for Dec 19: Solo Takedown, Matchmaking Improvements Hotfixes for Dec 19: Solo Takedown, Matchmaking Improvements We have some hotfixes ahead of today's release of the Handsome Jackpot DLC, with a new year's event for the Maliwan Takedown featuring a change to solo and sub-4 player tuning, with the raid being scaled to the number of players participating! There's also matchmaking improvements for the takedown in general, prioritizing a maximum party over fast matches, which is slightly confusing, since it will actually be the opposite during the Dec 31st-Jan 16th event described above. Maliwan Deathspheres are also getting nerfed after their recent AI buff.

And in case you missed it, you can get Borderlands 3 for 35% off right now on all platforms!
