Borderlands 3 updates with some new content and hot fixes

Gearbox and 2K have announced that the November update for Borderlands 3 is now live, giving players some new missions to undertake and mayhem to discover.

First up is the raid Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite and in it Lorelei has recruited the Vault Hunters to destroy a top-secret weapon Maliwan has been developing at its blacksite. This new permanent addition to Borderlands 3 is designed for squads of players who’ve completed the main story campaign, so expect a serious challenge. Respawning is disabled, though you can still save yourself with Second Wind or be revived later by your teammates if certain conditions are met.

For those seeking more of a challenge, there is Mayhem 4, the next and highest level of Mayhem that Borderlands 3 offers and provides an even tougher challenge by further increasing enemy health, though it also increases loot drop chances and adds a brand new set of Legendaries that can only be obtained while playing with Mayhem 4 activated. Mayhem 4 also slightly adjusts the random modifier system, randomly rolling just one positive modifier for players and one positive modifier for enemies. Note that Mayhem levels 1-3 are unchanged.

There is even more to enjoy, such as:

• Bank Expansion: All characters now begin the game with 20 bank slots instead of 10. By acquiring additional Storage Deck Upgrades from Marcus’s shop on Sanctuary III, players can expand the storage bank to 300 total slots;

• Dedicated Loot Pools for Bosses: All bosses have been updated with new loot pools that give them dedicated Legendary items to drop. Players can now discover which bosses drop their favorite gear and more easily farm for those specific items;

• Additional Vending Machines: New vending machines have been placed across multiple maps;

• Target Dummy: A target dummy now appears in Sanctuary III’s firing range, allowing players to safely test their weapons;

• Thank You Weapons: Two free “thank you” weapons – one for lower-level players and one for Level 50 players – are available through the in-game mail system.
