Borderlands 3 Patch Hits Alongside Moxxi Heist Holiday DLC

Borderlands 3 has launched its new holiday DLC and is rolling out a hotfix patch to go alongside it. As usual the patch will populate automatically if you're in the main menu, though you may need to quit out and wait until the sign appears to make it happen if you're in-game at the time. You can check the full patch notes below.

The hotfix addresses several concerns and bug reports, and decreases the shields and armor on Maliwan Deathspheres in the Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite event. Gearbox says that the most recent patch improved the navigation of the Deathspheres, but that made them harder to hit, so the lowered shields and armor compensate for the change. The studio has also made some back-end changes to improve matchmaking in Takedown.

"The Takedown matchmaking service now won’t transition players into the Takedown until a full party of four players have been found," it said. "We believe players would prefer matchmaking take a little longer in order to enter the Takedown with a full party. We'll be monitoring this change and will adjust as necessary."

Many of these changes are to the Takedown, and soon you'll be able to jump in regardless of party size. From December 31 through January 16, you can play with any number of players, and matchmaking will be updated to get into parties quickly instead of necessaaraily waiting for a full party. The game is also on sale on most platforms.
