In the night, a new update for Borderlands 3 will be released. Some bugs will be fixed. However, what is more interesting is that the patch notes finally give the solo event for Maliwan Takedown a new date.
What is this event? Maliwan Takedown is the current most challenging content in Borderlands 3. It is designed for 4 players, all of whom must have reached the maximum level. While there are already some solo runs, only truly skilled players can master the challenge alone.
But that is supposed to change for a short time now. For two weeks, from January 16 to January 30, the event will be easier. Then you should be able to complete it in smaller groups and even alone – the difficulty will be adjusted to the respective group size.
After the event, the difficulty will be raised again.
Why has the event been long awaited? Originally, Gearbox announced the event already over New Year, for the period from December 31 to January 16. However, technical issues have led to the postponement of the event.
Also, the patch that will be released tonight will not make the Maliwan Takedown easier yet. You will have to wait another week.
Hotfix fixes reported issues
What does the patch change? The new patch fixes various bugs that were previously reported by players:
- Fl4K’s skill “Desert and Wild” sometimes did not activate the bonus damage for animals.
- Fl4K’s skill Rakkcelerate sometimes did not reduce the cooldown.
- The strength of the weapon shield of the legendary weapon Cheap Tips was sometimes not listed in the tooltips.
- The mini-boss The Arbalest of Discipline sometimes appeared only with shields.
- The health points of the Anointed Enforcers were temporarily reduced because they were sometimes stronger than intended due to their immunity.
When will the patch be released? The hotfix for Borderlands 3 will be released tonight, specifically on January 10 at 12:00 AM German time. It will come simultaneously for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
The new patch will not be the last one that Borderlands 3 will receive. Our author Max has looked at what else will happen in the loot shooter in 2020:
