Originally, the big June patch for Borderlands 3 was planned for this Thursday. However, it is now being postponed due to the current situation.
This was planned in the patch: The June patch was supposed to be larger than usual and address numerous issues. It is part of two phases that are meant to significantly improve the revamped Mayhem mode. This includes problem-solving for scaling weapons and enemies, as well as performance corrections.
Additionally, the patch was supposed to introduce the new Guardian Takedown into the game. Similar to the Maliwan Takedown, this is intended to be a new endgame challenge that tests players to their limits.
Why is the patch being postponed? Gearbox announced via the official Borderlands channel on Twitter that the Takedown is being postponed due to the current situation. Donations are also planned:

The game remains as it currently is for the time being. A new date for the patch has not yet been announced. However, a popular event is continuing.
Cartel Event Ends with Next Patch
This is how the Cartel Event is affected: The “Revenge of the Cartels” is still very popular among fans. Some even wished it would stay in the game permanently. However, it is supposed to end with the new patch. This plan remains in place – which is why the event around Villa Ultraviolet will continue for the time being.
Players thus have a bit more time to secure the strong event weapons from the cartels. The villa map and the suddenly appearing cartel enemies will thus remain available a little longer.
However, the Takedown will still take some time. Additionally, the next DLC for Borderlands 3 is still set to be released at the end of June, throwing you into a Western world.
