Summary
Borderlands 3is nearly four years old at this point, that didn’t stop Gearbox Software from releasing a brand-new update for the popular looter-shooter game. Gearbox launchedBorderlands 3four years ago to mostly positive reviews and supported the game in the years after launch with fresh content, bug fixes, balance changes, and paid DLC.
Borderlands 3’s post-launch supportwas fairly aggressive, though it’s slowed down considerably as of late. The last major update released forBorderlands 3came in June 2022, with fixing some lingering issues and adding support for cross-play between PS4 and PS5 consoles. Now Gearbox has issued yet another update forBorderlands 3, which is available for fans to download now across all platforms.

The newBorderlands 3update adds four new Vault Hunter heads, four new Vault Hunter skins, four new weapon trinkets, and one new global weapon skin. It has also added some difficult-to-obtain cosmetics to Crazy Earl’s Shop, which should make it a lot easier forBorderlands 3players to complete their cosmetics collection. Additionally, the SHiFT menu has been updated, someEridian writinghas been adjusted, a bug with the Pain Freeze icon has been addressed, the Fright Light weapon trinket has been made to glow brighter, the credits and specials thanks section have been updated, minor UI fixes have been made, and some other bugs have been squashed. It’s unclear if this will be the last updateBorderlands 3gets, but if so, it’s going out with a bang.
