New Borderlands 3 Update Affects Every Vault Hunter

There's a new update out now for Borderlands 3 that consists of another series of hotfixes. While past updates have taken a look at different Vault Hunters' abilities to either buff them or nerf them, they often did that through affecting one or two characters at a time. This latest update released on Thursday changed each one of the Vault Hunters at once though by adjusting their Class Mods and various skills.

The Vault Hunter adjustments come straight from the patch notes where the plans for the latest hotfix were outlined. While most of the Vault Hunters had their skills or abilities tweaked, Moze's changes pertained to one of her Class Mods.

"The Bloodletter class mod was creating some overwhelming synergies for Moze so we increased the delay and decreased the recharge rate of the shield to compensate," the patch notes said. "This should help encourage the intended use of this class mod, which is to heal shields manually, not automatically. Means of Destruction's re-trigger delay was adjusted again because the change limited other builds beyond creating infinite grenades. The infinite grenade bug will be addressed in a future patch but we wanted to enable other builds that use Means of Destruction so we dramatically reduced the re-trigger delay to a reasonable number."

You can find each of the Vault Hunter changes below along with some hotfixes fo the game's many weapons.
