Borderlands 3 continues to evolve with constant updates and in-game events. A recent hotfix patch went live yesterday that makes multiple tweaks in the game. Some weapon balancing was done and Moze received a noticeable buff. Two brand new events, Slot Machine Mania mini-event and Trials Take-All mini-event, are also available.
The update increased the damage output of the Damned weapon. The fire rate of The Lob was increased, but now it only throws one projectile instead of three. Damage and Critical Damage for Moonfire is buffed and Hyperion Weapon Shields can now absorb much more damage. Moze is now more strong, his Iron Bear ability cooldown is decreased but now you will require more fuel. Bonuses received from multiple skills, including Security Bear and Experimental Munitions, has also been increased.
Both the two new events will start today and end on April 9 at 12:00 p.m. EST.
All the changes can be read below or on the official site.
