Later today, Gearbox Software will finally reveal details onBorderlands 3’s next DLC campaign, giving fans an idea of what is on the horizon for this highly-popular looter shooter. That said, the developer is not only focused on the future ofBorderlands 3and continues to address the current state of the game as well. Case in point: Gearbox has just released patch notes for a brand newBL3update that will be live very soon.
Scheduled to release before 12pm PST today, February 27, this newBorderlands 3update addresses various aspects of the title. This includes a focus onBorderlands 3legendary weapons, and indeed the patch buffs some of the worst in the game. For instance, after theBL3hotfix has been applied players will find that the Lob legendary shotgun’s magazine size has increased to 12, its damage per tick has been greatly increased, and that it fires a burst shot of three magical orbs.

Additionally, two legendary sniper rifles have received several improvements. Specifically, the Malak’s Bane legendary sniper rifle has had its damage greatly increased and its shotgun ammo consumption reduced to two, and the Woodblocker legendary sniper rifle has had its critical hit damage increased by 100% and its vertical recoil slightly reduced. While such buffs may not put these weapons quite on the same level asBorderlands 3’s Wedding Invitation, they are upgrades none the less.
The Ruby’s Wrath legendary rocket launcher has been buffed as well, receiving an overall damage boost and a reduction to the cooldown of Singularity Grenade. So too,DAHLassault rifles are the target of a general improvement, and all of them will deal 35% increased damage following today’sBL3update.
While legendary weapon buffs may be the most exciting aspect of the February 27Borderlands 3patch, it is not all that players will find in the hotfix. Indeed, today’s update fixes several progression blockers, including one that players can encounter in theCistern of Slaughter, adjusts a boss encounter, and more. All of this can be found fully detailed in the patch notes below, and players will be able to experience the changes for themselves in short order.
