It’s a brand-new month, and we’re excited to kick it off with this week’s news.
Check out what we’ve been up to:
GEARBOX SOFTWARE
Brothers in Arms
This week, we announced that there is a Brothers in Arms series in the works, with showrunner Scott Rosenbaum at the helm. The series will focus on previously classified World War II stories, beginning with a military scandal that was kept secret for 40 years.
Borderlands 3
Hotfixes – Thanks to everyone who’s jumped into Revenge of the Cartels and Mayhem 2.0 this past week! We’ve been monitoring your feedback and are aware of some concerns as a result of the April 23 patch. Since then, we’ve released two hotfixes to temporarily disable Mayhem Modifiers that were resource-intensive, and they’ve already resulted in significant improvements to stability and performance. While today’s adjustments to drop rates and Anointment rates continue these improvements, our efforts are still focused on addressing your concerns. Check out the full hotfix notes here, and if you’d like to provide additional feedback or report further issues, please submit a detailed ticket to support.2k.com.
Revenge of the Cartels Soundtrack – From Villa Ultraviolet to your ears! The Revenge of the Cartels soundtrack is available now. Be sure to check out the rest of the Borderlands 3 soundtrack to add even more mayhem to your playlist.
Twitch Prime Drops – The fourth Borderlands 3 drop for Twitch Prime members is now live! Score the Rolly Player head and three Golden Keys. Redeem them here, and they’ll be in your in-game mail next time you log on! There’s still time to grab previous drops, but you’ll only have until May 14th to redeem them.
