But they also promised that the big, buffing and nerfing mega-patch would be the following week with a warning that broken builds were finally about to be targeted after a couple weeks of moderate weapon and character buffs.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what happened this week in terms of the guns that are getting boosts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ruby\u2019s Grasp Pistol <\/strong>(Reloading the gun fires 4 homing copies) \u2013 Damage increased 50%, fire rate increased 25%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bully Pistol<\/strong> (When gun shields are activated, launches an attack drone every 14 seconds) \u2013 Drone damage increased 50%, base damage increased 50%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rangefinder Pistol <\/strong>(Shoots in a looping pattern of firing 3 bullets, then 2 bullets, then 1 bullet) \u2013 Base damage increased 30%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Queen\u2019s Rest Pistol <\/strong>(Fires high speed rounds and damaging enemies has a 30% chance to spawn a homing stick projectile) \u2013 Spawn chance increased to 50%, fire rate increased 50%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seventh Sense Pistol<\/strong> (Hitting enemies spawn orbs that float upward and home in on targets on reload) \u2013 Orb damage increased 250%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hellwaker Shotgun <\/strong>(Projectiles are fired in a pentagram pattern) \u2013 Base damage increased 30%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Convergence Shotgun<\/strong> (On hit, spawn converging projectiles on enemy) \u2013 Base damage increased by 25%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, that\u2019s a bunch of pistols and two shotguns. Hellwalker already had its damage changed to fire to please fans and align with past gamers, and now it got a needed damage buff on top of that. As for the pistols, some were underperforming, some already seemed very strong like Seventh Sense which just got a massive buff, and seems worth seeking out now. <\/p>\n<p>There are a few additional changes that are kind of bug fixes, but they should help various builds:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Legendary Tediore Shotgun Anarchy was adjusted to properly award Stacks of Mutualism when auto-reloading or killing enemies<\/li>\n<li>All Pets from all classes (such as Trouble, Specters, Reapers, and Forgeweapons) now properly gain Critical Hit Chance from Passives and Gear<\/li>\n<li>Adjustment made to Vex the Siren\u2019s Bleed to count as Status Effect Damage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As for what to expect next week?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Weapon and gear buffs<\/li>\n<li>Character buffs (hopefully a bunch of Amon ones)<\/li>\n<li>Quality of Life changes\/fixes (trash bug fix, resetting list sort fix, dear god)<\/li>\n<li>\u201cUnintended interactions\u201d nerf likely targeting crit knife and groundbreaker, among others<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I\u2019m still playing, now leveling Amon to max after already doing so with Rafa and Vex. Hopefully, this patch will make that a lot more fun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow me <\/strong><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\" aria-label=\"on Twitter\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\">on Twitter<\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ?sub_confirmation=1\" aria-label=\"YouTube\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ?sub_confirmation=1\">YouTube<\/strong><\/a><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ\" aria-label=\",\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ\">,<\/strong><\/a> <strong>and <\/strong><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paul.tassi\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paul.tassi\/?hl=en\" aria-label=\"Instagram\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paul.tassi\/?hl=en\">Instagram<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick up my sci-fi novels the <\/strong><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08G1MRFTM?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_tkin&amp;binding=kindle_edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08G1MRFTM?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_tkin&amp;binding=kindle_edition\" aria-label=\"Herokiller series\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08G1MRFTM?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_tkin&amp;binding=kindle_edition\">Herokiller series<\/strong><\/a> <strong>and <\/strong><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KYDGG73?binding=paperback&amp;ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KYDGG73?binding=paperback&amp;ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk\" aria-label=\"The Earthborn Trilogy\"><strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KYDGG73?binding=paperback&amp;ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk\">The Earthborn Trilogy<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This week, Gearbox rolled out a mid-sized Borderlands 4 patch that has a number of buffs to what&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":489920,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[80956,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-489919","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-borderlands-4","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115353267964082064","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=489919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489919\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/489920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=489919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=489919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=489919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
