Gearbox has issued a hot fix for Borderlands 3 that addresses issues with the game?s weapons and characters. This comes on the heels of a substantial update on September 26, 2019 that fixed many of the game?s UI and performance problems.

The full list of patch notes can be found below:

Critical Damage increased by 20%
Fire Rate increased by 15%
Time to Aim Down Sights (ADS) reduced by 15% Time to Equip reduced by 20%

Increased damage on all DAHL Pistols by 15%
Increased damage on all Children of the Vault Pistols by 20%
Reduced damage on Jakobs Pistols by 15%
Reduced damage on Tor...
