Borderlands 3 released a balancing hotfix last weekend. It buffs the allegedly weak Zane, but most of all it nerfs FL4K and Amara. The gunner Moze has been spared.
This is what the hotfix does: Borderlands 3 introduced a hotfix on September 27. This should balance out some strengths and weaknesses. For Agent Zane, the clone and drone were buffed.
The Beastmaster FL4K, on the other hand, had to endure a significant setback. His most effective action skill has been reduced in duration and intensity. Also, Siren Amara has not escaped unscathed. She heals less and can no longer reduce her enemies’ damage as much.
However, it seems that one character has been forgotten by the hotfix, the gunner Moze. She has a very powerful build that could overshadow the other characters in the endgame now.
Moze with 1-HP build to One-Hit-Queen
This is what the gunner can do: Moze is a soldier who comes with a lot of firepower and a teddy mech. Her skill trees can improve her shield and damage. Additionally, they can enhance her ammo regeneration, area damage, or her action skill.
This is about the solo build: If you focus on her talent trees Demolition Woman and Revenge Shield, you can kill many enemies with one shot (One-Hit). For this, you best need an artifact that reduces your health to 1 health point (HP) – that’s right. Additionally, this item doubles your shield.
With the right skills you deal more damage with Moze the less health you have. 1 HP is very little health, so it packs quite a punch. With your huge shield, which you further improve through your skill tree, you are almost immortal.
Mixed feelings in the community
This is what the fans demand: For most, Moze is not a problem with the hotfix. Many discussions still revolve around the agent. The supposedly too weak Zane for the endgame has been buffed. Fans are happy about this, but it seems that the hotfix does not have the desired effect:
It’s great that Zane has been buffed. Unfortunately, it has completely missed the core of the issue. Better than nothing, I don’t want to complain.

With Amara, there are hardly any complaints. However, FL4K fans are not really excited. Some are appalled that FL4K’s best build is no longer playable. Others demand buffs for FL4K’s two other skill trees:
I would like a possible pet build, to be honest. Especially the +100% bonus on the pet feels like wasting 5 skill points.

Moze is doing quite well. In terms of gunner, there is only a call for more power for her “Iron Bear”:
I wish the bear could be just a pet. Or at least without getting in, so it doesn’t steal my damage when I get into it myself.

This is how it is with Moze: So it seems that no one really cares that Moze was not nerfed – on the contrary. Players even wish for a buff, though not for her, but for her mech.
The gunner is a strong character with a powerful endgame build. However, this is equipment-dependent if one wants to utilize it optimally. It takes effort to farm all items, and that should be rewarded – with one-hits.
If you feel like farming some bosses now, here are tips for legendary loot:
