    BORDERLANDS 3 HOTFIXES: OCTOBER 31, 2019

    Posted: 31 Oct 2019 07:09 AM PDT

    https://borderlands.com/en-US/news/2019-10-31-borderlands-3-hotfixes-oct-31/

    This week's Borderlands 3 hotfixes, which will be live on all platforms by or before 3:00 PM PDT today, address various issues reported by the community. We appreciate all the help. Please keep sending in your bugs to support.2k.com!

    BUG FIXES

    • Addressed reported collision issues in various maps
    • Raised the Eridian chest out of the dirt near The Terradome
    • Made a modification to prevent certain players from escaping out of the Slaughter Shaft
    • Addressed a potential progression blocker for "Footsteps of Giants" mission when fast traveling to a vehicle
    • Removed an incorrect text description for the Legendary Sniper Rifle Stalker

    No change has been made to the gameplay of the gun, only the text has been removed.

    • Addressed a potential progression blocker during the "On the BloodPath" mission
    • Addressed a reported concern that Emperor Spiderants were causing the screen to shake infinitely
    • Addressed a reported concern where Rachael the Anointed's beam attack was not properly visible on all settings
    • Addressed a reported concern that Troy was not spawning with his pistol
    • Fixed a typo on mission text for "Blood Harvest: The Rebloodening"

    WEAPON FIXES

    Tediore E-Tech Shotguns were set to the wrong value and were corrected, resulting in a damage increase for all Tediore E-Tech Shotguns.

    • Tediore E-Tech Shotgun Damage increased by 50%

    BLOODY HARVEST – HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

    As you play Borderlands 3 today, you'll notice it's even spookier! Haunted enemies are everywhere!

    • For TODAY, October 31 ONLY – You will see a drastic increase in the number of Haunted enemies!

    It's a great day to work on those Bloody Harvest challenges, Vault Hunters! After today, the rates will go back to their normal values. In the coming weeks, you will start seeing more standard Anointments on your gear as the spooky season begins to fade from Borderlands 3.

    ANNIVERSARY EVENT

    We hope you all enjoyed the Mayhem on Twitch Anniversary event! After listening to community feedback during the event, we are making two changes to Mayhem Mode:

    • The chance of receiving a weapon penalty as a Mayhem modifier will continue to be reduced at the same rate as the Mayhem on Twitch Week.
    • The drop rate for Anointed gear has been increased.

    MARKING GEAR AS TRASH/FAVORITE ON PS4

    After downloading last week's patch, some players on PS4 reported that they were unable to mark their guns as trash or favorite while in the inventory menu. We are working on fix for this and intend to implement it in the next patch.

    TURNING OFF GUARDIAN RANK

    We have heard that some of you would like the option to turn off Guardian Rank. We're currently looking into how that can be achieved and intend to be able to provide more information in the future!

    As always, if you experience any issues, please submit a ticket to support.2k.com. We're listening to your concerns and look forward to seeing everyone's feedback from this week. If you missed last week's roadmap, it covers topics like a larger bank, performance and stability, character buffs, target dummies, and more. Read that roadmap here: October 24 Patch, Hotfix, and Roadmap notes.

    EDIT: Whoever gave this post the "Extra Life" thing, thank you! I didn't know what it was so I had to look it up. I'm glad to see that it helps some kids who probably really need it.

    Dear Gearbox: Please add color blind filters in the menu, and/or "sort by rarity".

    Posted: 31 Oct 2019 03:30 PM PDT

    I can't speak for every color blind person, but it's damn near impossible for me to tell uncommons apart from legendaries other than going to each one individually and looking for flavor text. On the field there is at least the sound effect and much more graphical effects when a legendary shows up, but for inventory it's not fun.

    Sorting by rarity would also be a helpful solution.

    Can we please get Skill Tree Loadouts?

    Posted: 31 Oct 2019 11:20 AM PDT

    TL:DR; Please add skill tree/build loadouts to the game, to allow quicker/more convenient re-speccing of the skill tree for different content.

    It's becoming a bit of a hassle for me to go to the respec station, and manually put in every single skill point from memory depending on what content I'm doing, EVERY TIME.

    This is partly because I play on more than one character, and partly because if there is 1 build that can "do everything", I don't know about it, nor would I want to use it.

    For example, I started the game with Fl4k, with the intention of making him a boss killing machine, but after all his nerfs that build is god awful at mobbing. If I want to be AT ALL useful in a group, I have to switch to a mobbing build, and doing this every single play session is pretty annoying. Some people probably only play 1 character, or have a build thats good at everything and don't have this issue, but I do, and I'm sure others would appreciate a way to quickly switch builds or at least skill points.

    The number one issue with this game is still performance.

    Posted: 31 Oct 2019 04:24 PM PDT

    Borderlands is kind of a strange game to benchmark, because the performance varies vastly from someone who's level 25 playing through the campaign is going to have much smoother frame rates than someone who's level 50 with a high DPS build.

    I knew this would happen because of the nature of the series, and it was present in borderlands 2, particularly with the implementation of physx and my 980Ti. Albeit nowhere near as bad.

    As time goes on, players are going to continue to level up, and the performance issues will become more apparent. As fun as it is, circle of slaughter gets nearly unplayable for me towards the later rounds.

    A class I crave. A GOLIATH VAULT HUNTER!

    Posted: 31 Oct 2019 12:12 PM PDT

    A gunzerker/melee/something else character would be amazing. I love the goliath enemies in BL are some of my favorites in the series and I'd love to see a playable character like that. Like imagine the melee capstone for the goliath is simply called GODliath which increases your level the more enemies you kill maxing out at like 5 levels above the cap or something.
    Just sounds fun

    Character DPS Analysis

    Posted: 31 Oct 2019 08:44 PM PDT

    Out of curiosity, I calculated out all the damage multipliers for each skill tree of each character. I've arrayed each character's trees from strongest to weakest.

    See the bottom for the TL:DR.

    Skills that are conditional in some way will have their values adjusted to my best estimate of their actual value and be marked with a (C). Examples include Zane's "Playing Dirty" and Moze's "Click, Click"

    Zane

    Clone Tree: 79% Damage, 18% Shock Damage. 211% DPS

    Requirements: Kill Skill, Two Action Skills Active, Not being targeted.

    Drone Tree: 28% Damage, 25% Fire Rate, 50% chance for an additional pellet for five shots.(C) ~170% DPS

    Requirements: Two Kill Skills, Must be moving. Part of bonus only lasts for 5 shots following a kill.

    Shield Tree

    30% Damage, 25% Damage. 163% DPS

    Requirements: Barrier must be active and on the ground, Shield must be active.

    Net Result

    Using the two strongest damage-dealing trees, Zane can achieve 305% DPS

    Moze

    Shield of Retribution

    15% Fire Damage, 10% Fire Damage, 185% Damage, -7.5% Fire Rate. 333% DPS

    Requirements: Three Stacks of Drowning in Brass and Phalanx Doctrine. 1 Health.

    Bottomless Mags

    3% Fire Damage, 30% Fire Damage, 15% Fire Rate, 20% Critical Hit Damage, 18% Damage(C). 218% DPS

    Requirements: Fire Damage.

    Means of Destruction

    15% Fire Damage, 15% Damage. 132% DPS

    Requirements: Splash Damage.

    Net Result

    Using the two strongest damage dealing trees, Moze can achieve 662% DPS.

    Fl4k

    Stalker

    120% Damage, 30% Damage, 20% Fire Rate. 343% DPS

    Requirements: Reloading, Full Health, not targeted by enemies.

    Hunter

    45% Damage, 35% Critical Hit Damage, 25% Extra Pellet Chance. 244% DPS

    Master

    90% Damage, 15% Fire Rate. 219% DPS

    Net Result

    Using the two strongest damage dealing trees, Fl4k can achieve 698% DPS

    Amara

    I have decided to exclude Amara from this analysis, due to the fact that many of her skills are difficult to calculate into simple DPS numbers. For example, she can get a 35% chance to apply a different random status effect to any target she already applied one status effect to. This ability is unquestionably powerful, but exactly how powerful is very difficult to decypher. Other skills with similar difficulties include:

    Ties That Bind

    Indiscriminate

    Anima

    Wildfire

    Catharsis

    Remnant

    From Rest

    I really tried for a bit, but I just couldn't put it together in any meaningful manner. As a side note, I imagine this may be why Amara has been relatively free of tweaks; she's so confusing, I doubt they even know what to tweak.

    TL;DR

    Maximum DPS Per Character

    Zane: 305% DPS

    Moze: 662% DPS

    Fl4k: 698% DPS

    How Broken would invulnerable pet skills be?

    Posted: 31 Oct 2019 06:49 PM PDT

    Ignoring Fl4k's pets that more often then just become stat boosts, how broken would making Zane and Moze's pets invulnerable be? I haven't played Moze much but I've seen how large the cooldown it'd nice to have some of that badass mach fantasy even if it's a net damage loss. Regarding clone Zane though, he is absolutely useless since he does not know how to aim, giving him a rocket launcher doesn't solve the issue since in a tight space he'll kill himself and whenver he does it doesn't feel like I missplayed with the clone, it feels like "Oh their's a pool on the ground and their goes a 20 second cooldown and the 3 grenades I used to give him health".

    As a side note Zane just doesn't have a purpose, he has no niche. He's not the pet class, his ability spam is lackluster, and his mobbing is meh. There's not a single thing Zane can do that even compares.

    Pardon the rant I finished the game over the weekend (that ending was just rushed and wasted) and endgame and multiplayer just doesn't feel fun for my operator boy.

    Please make terror optional.

    Posted: 31 Oct 2019 01:18 PM PDT

    So I haven't played in awhile, I get back into it a couple days ago, and ghosts keep spawning out of enemies. Not a huge issue, but it's really inconvenient. They seem like an unnecessary hurdle towards getting into any sort of groove killing enemies.

    They're so frequent, and all they really do is fuck with my aiming. So I have to focus the ghosts or I can't deal with the mob enemies, but as soon as I deal with the mob enemies, more ghosts spawn, and as soon as I deal with the mob enemies, they spawn more ghosts! They also don't register as enemies until like half a second, so I'm just waiting around to deal with this nuisance before I can keep going.

    The regular ghosts don't do a lot of damage, but they stop shields from regenerating, and they phase through walls so you can't avoid them without killing them or running around. Either way, you risk getting shot by other enemies. There's no real way to consistently regenerate shield.

    "But dvltonwillivms, you could just use the terror weapons to deal with all this". I don't want to, my setup is exactly how I like it. Don't force me to use equipment I don't like, to deal with enemies I didn't like in the first place.

    This whole system makes things like Trials of Supremacy incredibly hard. If you enjoy the event, I'm not trying to say you're wrong or anything, but as far as I've been able to tell, not very many players do.

    I don't enjoy having to balance progress on Bloody Harvest with base gameplay. If I wanted to attempt to go for the challenges, I wish there was an option for it, not forced into it. I'm not sure what the timetable for this event is, so if it's coming to a close soon, I hope that Gearbox at least implements some sort of on/off feature in similar events.

    Sorry for the rant.

    [PC] Need multiplayer for blood drive mission (or graveward)

    Posted: 31 Oct 2019 06:53 PM PDT

    Stuck on beginning of blood drive mission due to glitch where the twins hologram does not appear and dialogue just loops.

    After trying cache clear and reinstall, support is now recommending I find someone at this point in the game to play with to force mission progress.

    If you are on blood drive or close to graveward and could join up with me, let me know we can swap epic names

    Ghostbusters easter egg?

    Posted: 31 Oct 2019 12:26 PM PDT

    In the Bloody Harvest event my buddies and I noticed both Keymaster and Gatekeeper enemies. My first thought is a Ghostbusters shout out, but is that all there is to it? Has anyone managed to drag them together to see if they interact? We tried a couple times but they seemed to be spaced out and walled off from each other.

    If you brought them together and a giant marshmallow badass came out afterwards, I would slime myself.

    Fl4k's Two F4ng And How it Works.

    Posted: 31 Oct 2019 10:50 AM PDT

    To those replying as to how my first results are incorrect, you'd be right, and I edited it already under the testing results, to correctly explain the actual effect of the gun.

    For those who are confused as to what the description means for Fl4k's Two F4ng skill...

    The skill reads "Fl4k has a chance to fire an extra projectile per shot". This can be interpreted in two ways. Each time fl4k fires a weapon he has a chance to fire one extra projectile, which is simple enough. Although the way it's worded possibly implies that each shot (meaning every individual projectile) has a chance to duplicate itself.

    My Theory

    If this is true it would mean that a weapon that shoots multiple projectiles like say x2 has a chance to duplicate both of those projectiles individually to up to x4. This isn't to say all of them will be duplicated, as both of those shots are separate entities meaning it's possible none of them will duplicate if Two F4ng procs or only one of them will duplicate.

    Testing

    I tested this with an Arctic Nighthawkin due to the version I had currently having a x2 modifier, thus making it easier to distinguish whether or not the skill proc'd. To see if it was working the way I believed it would I put the game into photo mode every time I initiated ONE shot from the weapon being sure that I only used one ammo from the clip after seeing whether or not the bullet created 3 or more projectiles. after testing for a few minutes I found that Two F4ng does indeed have a chance to duplicate each individual projectile with my NightHawkin shooting out 4 projectiles with just one shot and the x2 modifier. I occasionally had 3 projectiles as expected but managed to get both projectiles to duplicate.

    Edit* I believe it only duplicates one of the projectiles with every shot regardless of the quantity of projectiles it provides after testing with other weapons. My first test with the night hawkin was likely due to the red text effect it provided which is sad to say, but I still recommend using this skill due to the extra damage it provides. In most senarios it'll likely be a 10% damage buff or greater depending on the weapon and how high or low the x0 modifier is, however it'll likely be stronger with high damage single projectile fired weapons like sniper rifles.

    Final Analysis

    I know this is a lot for just one skill but i'm sure there are those like me who appreciated the in-depth examination of this skill, especially if you're trying to maximize dps on Mayhem 3. Besides my little after remark I would highly recommend using this skill in your build if you're going down the Hunter Tree regardless of what kind of weapon you're using, even if it doesn't work as I (and possibly others) originally believed.

    What gun is FL4K holding in the intro / description picture?

    Posted: 31 Oct 2019 10:39 PM PDT

    To me, it feels like Headsplosion and it is a pretty good choice too (if so).

    My friend and I made some low-budget Halloween costumes

    Posted: 31 Oct 2019 10:24 PM PDT

    Last Wednesday, I asked my friend (the psycho) if he had a Halloween costume picked out yet. He hadn't, so I 3d printed this, and we painted it for him on the 28th.

    My marauder mask is the same model printed slightly bigger, and the fabric was cut and sewn in about 5 hours. Both masks have lenses from busted sunglasses superglued on the inside of the eyepieces.

    I know they're white rarity items, but we are so damn proud of them.

    One Pump Chump / Hellwalker / Mind-Killer

    Posted: 31 Oct 2019 08:55 PM PDT

    So aside from asthetics, why would anyone pick OPC over MK? MK clearly deals more damage and does not need any wind-up.

    The only thing I can think of is that OPC travels further? Also, perhaps when it crits, it ricochets being a Jakob.

    Now only to Hellwalker, this also deals less damage than MK. The bullets spread unlike MK or OPC, so if you are further then it won't deal fatal damage to each enemy per blow.

    Perhaps you pick it over MK when you need to do elementary damage and over OPC when you need to do more damage by being extremely close to the enemies.
