    ANOINTMENT ADJUSTMENTS

    With the introduction of the final level cap increase, we determined this was the best time to make changes to the current Anointment meta. We have found that a few character-agnostic Anointments were proving to be the go-to for all characters and builds. With the changes we are making today, we're hoping to see character-specific Anointments become meta, rewarding players for building into their character tree and Action Skills even more so than before. We will be monitoring community feedback very closely as we anticipate there will be a lot of discussion surrounding this topic. We will make further adjustments to these changes as deemed necessary.

    BORDERLANDS 3 lags on XSX after last update

    Posted: 24 Jun 2021 07:35 PM PDT

    I'm not sure if this is happening only with me, but after installing the last update (June 24, 2021) the performance of the game on Xbox Series X was reduced and eventually it lags/freezes for a second every minute or so. :(

    Borderlands 3 is unplayable on Ps4 Pro due to technical and gameplay problems.

    Posted: 24 Jun 2021 01:57 AM PDT

    Finished BL2 with Tiny Tina's DLC. Tried other DLCs but felt burnt out of the game so didn't play it. Started BL TPS and realised it had the same graphics and gameplay so just decided to skip it entirely to play BL3.

    Started BL3, enjoyed new quality of life improvements like sliding but boy, the optimisation is garbage!

    Game is constantly dwindling between 30-45fps during combat. Inventory and shops are insanely laggy. The inventory UI and shop UI are utter garbage (opinion, pls don't kill me). Everything is clustered together. How can they devolve I don't understand. It was so clean in BL2, now it's just a mess.

    Two more things make this even worse.

    1. Huge no. of loot drops. In BL2 there were decent drops. Here the entire floor is filled after each encounter.

    2. At a point in BL2 I stopped picking up loot since I was dirty rich. In this game, for some reason, they replaced the role of eridium with money.

    So you need money to upgrade slot sizes. Which means constantly picking up stuff, sorting out inventory (which is buggy as hell) and spending huge amount of time just selling stuff in that laggy shop.

    I was playing with my friend and we spent 1/3rd of the time picking up stuff, sorting it out and selling. Didn't help with the stupid cluster fk inventory which shows everything together.

    Again, BL2 one was so clean, why didn't they just enhance that? Also the gimmick in shop with the revolving slots is annoying. It looks cool for the first 10 times. Then just becomes an obstacle between you and fun.

    Started downloading handsome collection again. Will play TPS tonight. Atleast it has a normal UI and stable performance.

    Sorry for the rant. Wanted to get it off my chest.

    Edit: Btw the gameplay is fun. I will probably play it in the future when I get a Ps5. But gearbox should've optimised this game better on consoles they released it for. There's no excuse for that. The laggy menus show it's not the hardware's fault, it's the developers.

    New To Borderlands

    Posted: 24 Jun 2021 04:22 PM PDT

    Hello! I just bought The Legendary Collection for Switch, and since this will be my first time playing Borderlands, I was wondering if the people of this Subreddit had any tips for a beginner. Thank you in advance!

    I think the pre sequel is a bit underrated.

    Posted: 24 Jun 2021 05:14 PM PDT

    This is a personal hot take but I'd rank the pre-sequel 2nd overall behind bl2. I thought all the little adjustments, like the auto pick up for loot were all very needed. I also liked the O2 and jump smash system, although as someone who played claptrap I didn't ever worry about air.

    The story is my personal favorite, it's tight, short and is able to fully use the characters to its advantage since they're already established. Jack was great, Lilith was great (and a real bitch which was nice to see since it made sense), being able to look into Hyperion a bit more was also very cool. However the side missions weren't the best (bl2 level at least) and there's not that many.

    The maps are all very very fun and fit the size of the game well. Helios and Elpis were great and the new side characters were very fun to interact with.

    The gunplay is more or less the same as bl2, however the energy guns are an amazing substitute for elemental guns, I personally used the shit out of them.

    And the bosses, my personal favorite part of the series were still fairly good, the bosun, felicity, and final boss, the sentinel was imo the best story boss in the series up to that point. However some boss fights are bad, the RK5 is horrible, the non human type enemies are my least favorite and this game is a prime example of that.

    How do you feel about the game?

    Zane tips (lv30), and how is he VS Amara?

    Posted: 24 Jun 2021 08:22 PM PDT

    Hi there!

    I gave Amara a go 'til around 40 and I found her phasegrasp extremely fun (made it work similar to Maya in BL2 with the nova, singularity etc).

    Giving Zane a go since I really enjoyed Jack in Pre sequel as well, but wondered if I could get some tips on how to make him useful. Not extremely sure what build to work towards as I level.

    I tried sentry and clone to sort of have 'em passively help me while I take cover and shoot, and then also tried a sentry and shield build where I just ran around shooting with it. I think the shield worked amazingly but was short enough for me to find it tedious using over and over again, etc.

    Anyhow, haven't found him to be over-the-top powerful yet so wondered if you had tips!

    Thanks!

    Fast travel not working

    Posted: 25 Jun 2021 01:34 AM PDT

    Title pretty much says it all. Ive tried to fast travel to the stormblind complex today, tho when I held down the fast travel button (circle for PS4 users ye), it didnt fast travel at all, no matter how long I held it down for. Is there anyone who knows a fix for this? Ive seen most online forums tackling this question but havent found a fix for it yet. Thank you so much!

    (Note: yes I have the latest version of the game, and I do hope this gets a fix sooner or later)

    Why didnt the handsome collection go on sale?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2021 01:32 AM PDT

    I was planning to buy the entire handsome collection this summer sale, only to find out that it was just the base game on sale, and not the collection. Is there any reasoning behind this, or its just a mistake on Valve's side, because it went on sale on every seasonal sale except this one. If someone knows as to why this happened, I'd be glad to know more.

    Borderlands lore question.

    Posted: 24 Jun 2021 12:51 PM PDT

    Ok, this might sound jumbled so stay with me, 2 weeks ago I started BL3 my first playthrough was on FL4K which I enjoyed after beating TVHM on FL4K I made a Zane. Now I have the final form packs for all characters, and Zane's Final Form is called "Assassin One" and in the son of crawmerax DLC in BL2 the person that kills ZER0s assassins left a note that just said One. Now from a voice line in BL3 Zane confirms that he has at least met zero before at an assassin bar. So I guess my question is was Zane the one who killed ZER0s assassins or could it just be a reference?

    Terrible Frame Rate and Stuttering

    Posted: 24 Jun 2021 05:14 PM PDT

    I just got the game on PC after owning it on switch and it's running at like 15 fps and even lower when I'm moving. I changed the settings in Nvidia Control panel to use my dedicated GPU but it still isn't changing how it runs. I also have the same problem with Borderlands 2 and 3, although not as severe.

    BL3 Fast travel bug after the recent update

    Posted: 24 Jun 2021 04:45 PM PDT

    Hey guys, has anyone experienced a fast travel bug recently, one wherein I press the button it fills up but doesn't actually do anything after. I tried fast travelling to other locations but the same problem happens. I tried dragging it on top of the actual marker, but still it doesn't do anything. I'm not sure if the update caused this or my recent purchase and download of dlcs 1-4. I'm on PS4 btw, any help would be much appreciated.

    Edit: I've tried deleting the entire game and downloading it again, but I still can't fast travel.

    Borderlands the pre sequel

    Posted: 24 Jun 2021 12:28 PM PDT

    I recently bought the game of the year trilogy pack for the switch and I downloaded the pre sequel but it won't let me start it without an internet connection. Is there a way to play this without the requirement of internet and will I need it to play the second one as well? Why is internet even required?

    Unpopular opinion: Kevin Hart is the perfect casting for Roland in the borderlands movie

    Posted: 24 Jun 2021 04:16 PM PDT

    Okokok - hear me out - Roland is a really boring and uninteresting character, and if he were that way in the movie, it'd be a huge drag. The best thing to do is to change his character completely, so that he's actually entertaining.

    More unpopular opinion: Lilith is also a pretty boring character
