Borderlands 3 update slows Amara down, fixes bugs
Gearbox Software has released a new hotfix for Borderlands 3 that puts a stop to Amara speeding around the map and fixes a few bugs.
According to the patch notes, this latest hotfix addresses an issue with Amara’s Mindfulness passive movement speed bonus when buffed with the Spiritual Driver mod that caused her to reach extremely high speeds.
“Mindfulness was designed with the intent that reaching maximum stacks was not easily achievable so the bonus per grade was high,” the developer explained. “We want players to take advantage of move speed but not to the extent where parts of the game may not function correctly.”
The hotfix also fixes issues with loot falling into an unreachable area in Slaughterstar 3000, FL4K’s Jabber being too loud, and players being able to escape the map in Skywell-27.
Take a look at the full patch notes below:
- Addressed a reported issue where loot was sometimes falling into an unreachable area in Slaughterstar 3000
