Borderlands 3's latest update went live yesterday. The October 15 update brought tons of balancing changes. Several weapons and grenades have been tweaked to make Borderlands 3 more balanced. The damage output of Redline, The Companion, Garcia, Polybius, Infinity, Craps, and many more have been increased. The magazine size of Sleeping Giant was doubled and reloading the weapon can now award you all possible rewards at once.
A total of seven grenades have been tweaked. Six of them received buffs and one of them was nerfed. The damage of Fastball, Nagata, Widowmaker, Lightspeed, Hunter Seeker and Hex was increased. Tina’s Hippity Hopper is the only grenade that has been nerfed.
This is probably not the final Borderlands 3 patch. The game is currently hosting a Halloween special event called Bloody Harvest, which ends on November 5.
You can read the entire patch notes below, and they are mentioned on the official site as well.
