Borderlands 3 update 1.12 HOTFIXES

This week there are a number of equipment balance changes as promised in the Chaos 2.0 developer update, as well as hotfixes specifically for Guard Breakthrough elimination. Make sure that the hotfixes have been activated in the main menu so that the changes take effect and everything runs optimally for you.

In order for hotfixes to become active, stay in the main menu until a sign appears stating that hotfixes have been applied! If you have any problems or want to give feedback, please submit a request to support.2k.com.

• Anointed items from Revenge of the Cartels have been added to the permanent drop pool for equipment
• Fixed an issue where the spines of the Mantakorax and Korax ignored Zane’s barrier
• Balance adjustments to the number of enemies that are active simultaneously during Guard Breakthrough Elimination
• Balance adjustments on a number of enemies during Guard Breakthrough Elimination
• Fixed a possible progress blocker on high-speed travel while eliminating the Guardian breakthrough
• Fixed an issue that caused the agent’s SNTNL not to target its enemies in some cases

WEAPON ADJUSTMENTS

As mentioned in the patch information, we’ve adjusted the health, shield, and armor values ​​for Chaos levels 7 and higher. As part of this change, we need to adjust equipment to reflect that. By lowering enemies’ health, shields, and armor at higher levels of chaos, all the equipment you currently have will feel more effective if you eliminate enemies at those high levels. SMGs have proven to be one of the most popular types of weapons, so we focused on them in this update. We have decided that changes to this extent combined with the scaling changes are a good way. We will monitor player feedback in the coming weeks and make further adjustments if necessary.

Weapon buffs

The number of viable SMGs felt small compared to the relative range of this weapon type. As a result, we increased the damage on some of them this week.

• Bitch weapon damage increase
• Handsome Jackhammer weapon damage increase
• Increased weapon damage at Devoted
• Increase weapon damage on Cloud Kill
• Increased weapon damage in the tsunami
• Gun damage increased at Ten Gallon
• Ripper melee bonus damage increase

The Ripper’s melee bonus damage did not provide enough incentive to use the intended process. We have increased melee attack damage.

• Increased weapon damage at Vanquisher

The base damage of the Vanquisher and their bonus damage when sliding have been increased. As with the ripper, its core workflow was not used because the bonus when sliding before this change was not significant enough.

• Increase bonus damage when sliding at Vanquisher

Rippers and Vanquisher should now be very effective when using their unique processes.

Gun nerfs

We noticed that some items of equipment were too strong or did not work as intended, which inadvertently led players to bet on variants that only used these items. This also allowed players to bypass the slower growth in the Chaos levels over time. By lowering these values ​​and changing some data, players should feel able to experiment with other equipment again.

Sand Hawk

The Sand Hawk produced too many particle systems and we noticed that this caused performance problems. It also did too much damage compared to other sniper rifles. To fix this, we have made the following changes:

• Gun cost increased from 2 to 3 – We have increased the cost of firing the weapon so players can use its ammunition more carefully. With the additional SDUs added with the Cartel Revenge patch, players should still be able to use the weapon fairly often.
• Removal of 2 projectiles – As mentioned, the weapon cost too much performance, so we removed two particle systems per shot. This also reduced the weapon’s damage output.
• Increased precision spread – To compensate for the change due to the missing projectiles, we have expanded the spread to cover the same area.
• Reduction of projectile life – Too many active particle systems from successive shots severely affected performance, which is why we have reduced the life of the projectiles.
• Increased projectile speed – This was necessary to maintain the effectiveness of the weapon in combat. Because we have reduced the life of the projectiles, we have them too. The result is a weapon that feels as effective as before and also reacts even better.

Yellowcake

We discovered an unfortunate bug with the Yellowcake that caused 100% more damage than expected. That will be fixed today.

• Change in damage scaling – The Yellowcake used an incorrect scaling calculation, which increased the damage considerably more than intended. We change this to the intended calculation.
• Lowering the Damage to Split Projectiles – We’re lowering the damage to each split projectile because they too were too strong.

Kaoson

The Kaoson was stronger than intended, which is why it became the indispensable SMG. With today’s changes, it should still do a lot of damage based on explosion bonus damage, but not quite as much as it did in the past.

• Increase in Precision Impulse – Their precision allowed players to deal damage with pinpoint accuracy; with the additional explosion damage, the output was further maximized. We are increasing the precision impulse to better take into account the explosion bonus damage.
• Increase in maximum precision – With fully automatic, the spread was extremely low, which in turn led to more damage maximization than intended. We have increased the maximum value accordingly.
• Critical Damage Reduction – The explosion damage caused by this weapon allows more critical hits, so the critical bonus has been slightly reduced.
• Lower Base Damage – Because the Kaoson basically had two damage points – the original bullet and the explosive projectile – it did far more damage than a regular SMG. We lower the base damage to include the double damage function more appropriately.

Anointed buffs

Various anointed aspects were not valuable enough, which is why they were not used by players. In pursuit of more variation in chamber-hunter variants, we have made a number of anointed buffs.

• Anointed Objects in the Air – We have increased the effectiveness of anointed air damage, critical damage, and the rate of fire. The anointed rate of fire in the air also had a bug that was fixed to greatly improve this anointed aspect. We are very excited to see which variants we will see especially when eliminating the Guardian breakthrough.
• Rate of fire while sliding – Again, there was a bug that prevented the intended bonus from taking effect. We fixed that with the hotfixes.
• Action Skill End – A number of these anointed types have been strengthened to make them more effective in several variations. Rate of Fire, Next-2 Mag Bonus Damage, and Indirect Damage have all been dealt more damage.
• Fire damage when Auto Bear is active – Increased considerably to make variants with Iron Bear more effective.
