Gearbox announced that Borderlands 3's update that brings Designer's Cut support, Arms Race, Mayhem turned up to 11, the fourth Skill Tree for all, rebalancing and more.
According to their post, the update will be live by 12:00pm PST / 8:00pm GMT.
Most fans are looking forward to trying out Arms Race , Borderlands 3's new reality murder show where players are stripped of weapons, gear and passive abilities, and dropped into The Stormblind Complex to try and survive the best they can. You can learn more on the link above.
Next up is Mayhem 11, a copy of Mayhem 10 but without active modifiers. Note that the quality and amount of rewards from world drops are cut in half, so you can either gear up quickly with Mayhem 10, or choose to challenge yourself by turning it all up to 11.
Borderlands 3 will get 14 new Action Skill Damage Anointments for all Skill Trees, while tweaking the existing ones in order to support the Fourth Skill Tree. "We’ve also changed them to not activate on missed activations. The Siren can no longer “Fakegrasp” to activate Anointments, and the Beastmaster can no longer Gamma Burst while looking at the sky to trigger Anointments", the dev wrote.
A few of Zane's Skill Trees and Class Mods have been swapped around to encourage build diversity and remove reliance on one Class Mod, so you'll need to reinvest the freshly refunded skill points.
