Since its release, Gearbox has been releasing periodic patch notes outlining changes and adjustments they have made to the main game based on player feedback. This newest hotfix that Gearbox has released goes over what changes the developer has made and the issues that players ran into while playing the game, such as not having enemies spawn in when the objective “Kill Traitors” is active during the “Porta Prison” mission. Gearbox also made it so that when players enter into the Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite mode, the game will not begin until a full party of four people enters the lobby.
Along with these new patch notes, Gearbox also announced a special New Year’s Eve event that will take start on December 31st, 2019 and will end on January 16th, 2020. This is an exclusive, one-time event that will end after January 16th of next year. Gearbox Studios is very good at giving players active content well after the release ofBorderlands 3by way ofShift codes for Golden Keysand other side content.
Borderlands 3has given players so much in terms of additional content outside of the main game. Gearbox Studios is a company that is incredibly active with regards to its fan base. Following the release ofBorderlands 3back in September, Gearbox has made several changes based on fan feedback over the course of the last several months. Not to mention the fact thatthe issue of inventory managementthat players have had ever since the release of the firstBorderlandsgame back in 2009, is finally being addressed.
That being said,Borderlands 3is an incredibly large game with a large variety and scale of content for players to enjoy. For a game that large, there is bound to be issues that the developers let slip through the cracks. To this day,Borderlands 3still suffers when in local split screen gameplay and after three months, players have grown rather aggravated. But given the fact that Gearbox has actively listened to numerous fan complaints regarding the game, hopefully, the split screen gameplay will be fixed fairly soon.
Borderlands 3is out now for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
