This weekend, Borderlands 3 released a hot fix meant to address some pressing concerns that had cropped up with the game recently. Ever since the release of Borderlands 3, Gearbox has taken measures post-launch in order to provide weapon balancing, stability changes, and bug fixes.
This new hotfix covers reported concerns from players in which certain enemy bullets could pierce Zane’s barrier. It also covered how some FL4K players faced crashes when using the R4kk P4kk class mod.
Gearbox Software revealed the hotfix details on Twitter, and fans seem happy with the changes. There are still a few key issues that have been plaguing the game on console, though, such as menu stability and low frame rates. Outside of the performance-based problems, players are also hoping to see Borderlands 3 add a cutscene skip feature or better Mayhem 4 difficulty balancing.
Post-launch of Borderlands 3 has been a bit concerning in terms of performance, especially on console with issues that range from Guardian Rank not working as intended, split-screen being unplayable due to dips in framerate, and vault hunter abilities (such as Moze's Iron Bear) underperforming in endgame activities. With Gearbox initially nerfing weapons instead of fixing these problems it is viewed with concern from fans for the health of the game. Hopefully, with the release of the first major DLC for Borderlands 3, Gearbox will step up its game and pump out some solid stability updates.
With the release of the new Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot DLC in a few days, players can expect a ton of new content such as weapons to farm and new story elements. The DLC will feature Mad Moxxi sending vault hunters to pull off the heist of the century at a casino that Handsome Jack has built with plans that he stole from Moxxi.
Borderlands 3 is out now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC
