TERROR ANOINTMENTS
Following what we've seen and heard from the Community and the fading Halloween season, you're going to start seeing less Terror anointed parts dropping from regular enemies. Bloody Harvest enemies (including Ghosts!) will be picking up the slack, so if you are hunting to make a spooky build you know where to look!
- The chance for Terror anointed parts to drop from regular enemies has been decreased.
- The chance for Terror anointed parts to drop from Bloody Harvest enemies has been increased.
BUG FIXES
- Anointed enemies are no longer immune to Cryo damage.
- Addressed a reported potential progression blocker for "It's Alive" with the Abomination bot.
- Addressed a reported potential progression blocker if players quit the game at a certain point in "The Guns of Reliance"
- Addressed a reported issue that Explosive Gunpowder barrels where not showing effects when shot.
- Explosions created by enemy Badass' weapons have a much quicker explosion effect to reduce screen clutter
As far as Borderlands 3 hotfixes are concerned, Thursday's fixes don't offer many substantial changes. With the tweaks made to Bloody Harvest, loot will drop more from event-themed enemies but less from normal enemies. Since the event is closing out in a few days, the adjustments make sense. The loot pool has effectively been balanced for all players based on the kinds of items they hope to collect.
With regard to character balance, the so-called "bug fix" with Anointed enemies being immune to Cryo damage was a pretty big one. Especially if you're maining Zane with certain builds, the inability to effectively hurt powerful foes was downright maddening. While there were ways around the limitation, it's one that shouldn't have existed in the first place. Many fans believe the immunity was initially an intentional design choice rather than an error, but at least the problem has been solved.
Borderlands 3 is available now on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. Fans can expect another round of hotfixes next Thursday.
