Borderlands 3 is bringing a new patch today, December 19, which mainly focuses on Maliwan Takedown. Solo players can look forward to this very soon!
When is the patch coming? As usual, the hotfixes for Borderlands 3 will be rolled out overnight from Thursday to Friday. The patch should go live everywhere by 00:00. This means it will be released approximately six hours later than the new DLC that you can play starting now.
This is the toughest challenge: The currently officially hardest challenge in the game is Maliwan Takedown. Here, you have to take over a Maliwan base and face very strong enemies. The challenge is scaled so that it is meant to be completed only by four level 50 players together. But not for much longer.
Maliwan Takedown solo achievable soon
This is changing immediately for you: First of all, Gearbox is addressing the matchmaking for the Takedown with the patch. However, groups will benefit first: The raid will only start when there are actually four players in the party. Previously, it also happened that you would land with just two or three people in the Takedown, even though you wanted to start with four.
In addition, the shields and armor of the spheres in the Takedown have been reduced. There were also some bug fixes outside the Takedown.
This is changing soon: The patch also introduced a scaling of the Takedown, which will only be active during a specific period. From December 31 to January 16, Maliwan Takedown will scale based on the number of members in your party.
This means you are essentially getting the chance to conquer Maliwan Takedown alone, as a duo, or as a trio as a New Year’s gift, without having to endure the difficulty meant for four max-level players. This will make the hunt for the legendary Maliwan Takedown loot much easier.
Even without the scaling, some players have already managed to complete the Takedown alone. You can find the right builds here:

- Zane Solo Build for Maliwan Takedown
- FL4K Solo Build for Maliwan Takedown
