Borderlands 3 Patch Buffs a Lot of Legendary Weapons

Borderlands 3 players who’ve set aside some Legendary weapons in their collection because they weren’t strong enough may want to consider unvaulting them now that a new patch has been released. The latest update for Borderlands 3 made available on all platforms this week took a look at numerous Legendary weapons in the game across all different weapon categories. The changes made were buffs across the board with no nerfs released for any weapons, so if you’ve been wanting to try out a new Legendary weapon or break out an old one, now would be the time to do it.

Gearbox Software detailed the contents of the latest Borderlands 3 update in a post on the game’s site. Amid news of character changes and some adjustments to make different locations better balanced, a sweeping list of weapon changes were found at the bottom of the patch notes.

Each of those changes can be found below to show how the 14 different weapons have been affected by the update.
