Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Releases April 14 Update, Patch Notes Revealed

By Tanner Dedmon

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands got another new update this week, and this time, it includes quite a few different balance adjustments. These range from both buffs and nerfs for various spells players can equip as well as weapon damage adjustments, too. It also contains some interesting changes for different backstory traits players select when first building a character which will further alter their stats.

Some scalings for different weapons were apparently not functioning as intended in Wonderlands with those issues now resolved after this latest update. For those who keep finding cosmetics all over the place and aren't able to redeem them because they'd already been found before, you'll also be happy to hear that you'll now be able to sell them for twice the gold they were worth previously.

The notes about the changes made for the Twist of Fate feature – the one where you pick a backstory when making your character – is notable, too. The attributes changed by different picks have been altered, so be sure to doublecheck your choice next time you make a new character.

You can see the full patch notes for April 14th's Wonderlands update below:

Change Notes

  • Fixed an issue that was sometimes causing the achievement after completing the "Walk the Stalk" quest to not be awarded.
  • Patched up a hole in Queen's Gate
  • Fatemakers who do not own the Butt Stallion Pack are now able to drop and sell cosmetic items from it if picked up during gameplay.
  • Prevented Fatemakers from picking up fire spells before they knew how to do fire magic.
  • Increased the chance for Chaos Chamber Aspects (bosses) and the Maker to drop dedicated gear.
  • "For each Aspect defeated, we have increased the chance for their dedicated item to drop from the Maker. In addition, The Maker herself is also getting an increased chance for dedicated gear to drop."
  • Tina has completed the item cards, and Quadbow and Thunder Anima are now possible World Drops!
  • Gave Customization Drops a whole new look!
  • "We recolored the loot beam and outline to a better yellow color so they wouldn't get confused with the Purple Epic Gear. The Lost Loot Machine will no longer confuse them with Epic gear, either! The item card has now been switched to match Common item cards. The audio cue for their drop is no longer the same as Epic gear."
  • Make more gold! You can sell customizations for twice as much at vending machines now!
  • The "Awe" passive properly scales to the Fatemaker instead of giving a flat rate

Spell Adjustments

Magic Barrage

  • "Magic Barrage fires magic projectiles at enemies. We've made some changes to how some of these different variants scale their damage at higher levels, the cooldown times, and in the case of the Concentrated Magic Barrage, swapped out an extra projectile in favor of the spell now having two stages when channeled that increase in damage."
  • Magic Barrage (all prefixes) – Increased base spell damage from 8 to 13
  • Overwhelming Magic Barrage – Increased damage scaling 13%
  • Overwhelming Magic Barrage – Decreased cooldown by 8%

  • Concentrated Magic Barrage – Replaced the extra projectile at max channel time with 25% increased spell damage.

Cloudburst Arc Torrent

  • "Arken's Arc Torrent spell calls down a lightning bolt on enemies. We've adjusted how the damage and radius scaling for the spell works in its individual channeling stages."
  • Stages get increasingly more powerful; it will now scale at 25% each stage.

Eruption

  • Increased Eruption base damage from 20 to 24

Weapon Balance Adjustments
