Congratulations, Vault Hunters, you've managed to kill a member of the Traunt family 500,000 times and earned a SHiFT key for the Ratch Rider Head. This week's Borderlands 3 update has been dispatched and the Community Carnage Challenge's week two activated. Bonus: sniper rifle damage has been increased across the board.
Maurice's Community Carnage Challenge - Week two
Long-Distance Relations
The new Community Carnage Challenge tasks the Vault Hunters with defeating 20 million enemies with sniper rifles in exchange for a special SHiFT reward. You can drain the health pool of your foes whichever way you like, but the killing blow must be dealt with a sniper rifle. No additional effects such as damage over time or explosive damage are allowed.
Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine
Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine will, per tradition, also get a new temporary home. The machine will be moved to a new location on Thursdays at 16:00 GMT (9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET). The change is activated via a hotfix.
Update: Buff to Sniper Rifles damage
Increased Weapon Damage
A flat damage buff has been applied to sniper rifles to beef them up and make them a bit more lethal throughout the entirety of the game. Once these changes have settled, unique sniper rifles will be balanced as necessary.
