Borderlands 3 hotfix adjusts drop rates in Mayhem Mode
A new hotfix has been released for Borderlands 3 by Gearbox that makes further adjustments to Mayhem 2.0.
Following on from the removal of two resource-intensive Mayhem Modifiers that were causing issues, the developer has adjusted the drop rate of Legendary and Anointed gear.
“We are continuing to focus our efforts on addressing your concerns. Today’s adjustments to drop rates and Anointment rates are another step toward incorporating community feedback,” the developer said.
The hotfix also lowers the O.P.Q System’s secondary rate of fire to prevent stability issues caused by Moze spawning an excessive number of drones. Other fixes include a progression blocker in “Protect the Nibblenomicon,” players getting stuck in “The Shadow of Cursehaven,” and Badass enemies dropping common and rare items in Guns, Love, and Tentacles.
Finally, the currently ongoing Loot the Universe event has been moved to Promethea until May 7th. During this time, the chance of legendary loot dropping is increased in each zone.
