Actually, Maliwan Takedown in Borderlands 3 was supposed to be easier for the new year. But the event is delayed – the Takedown will remain quite a nasty affair for now.
This is the missing event: At the start of the new year, Borderlands 3 announced a special event. Maliwan Takedown, the currently hardest task in the game, was supposed to be easier for just over two weeks.
Specifically, the difficulty was supposed to be adjusted to the size of the group. Normally, the Takedown is designed for four players at max level. Between December 31, 2019, and January 16, 2020, the Takedown should have been easier if you went in with just two, three, or even solo.
Where is the “Maliwan Takedown” event now?
This is what the Takedown looks like currently: If you have been motivated to go into the Takedown since December 31 to finally secure the strong Maliwan Takedown loot, it might be that you found yourself down on the ground pretty quickly. Because: The event is not active yet. The Takedown is still running at normal difficulty – no matter if you are alone or with four.
What is the problem? As announced on the official Twitter channel, the event is delayed. Due to technical problems, the developers decided to postpone the start to a later date. When exactly it will begin is currently still unknown.
This is how players are reacting: Overall, the comments are understanding. They don’t want something else to break while something new is coming into the game – like with the Guardian Ranks that were unusable for quite a long time.
User Dan Zeigler even comments: “Somehow I want to try even harder to achieve it solo now.” And that it is possible – even with the known difficulty – was already shown by several players. Here you can find builds with which you can succeed without scaling:
- Moze build for Maliwan Takedown
- Zane build for Maliwan Takedown
- FL4K build for Maliwan Takedown
- Amara build for Maliwan Takedown
Otherwise, solo players will probably have to wait for the event – or team up with other players.
