Battleborn Hotfixes and Patch Info
Battleborn Hotfixes and Patch Info

To ensure the Quality of Life on Battleborn Gearbox will do hot fixes pretty much once a week.   A hot fix is done on the Battleborn Server and functions as a soft-patch. This can be done to balance the game or adjust some other stats. Gearbox will review their data on Mondays and will apply changes based on their info on Thursday at Noon PT/3pm ET. If they make the changes mid-week and the hot fix isn’t living up to expectations they can fix it before the weekend. A hot fix is automatically applied at the title screen when Battleborn is connected to the internet.

Patches are planned to come out once a month. These will address some larger modifications to the game that require more coding. Patches have to go through certification by Sony & Microsoft and can potentially delay a patch. You can download the latest update by launching Battleborn while connected to Steam/PSN/Xbox Live. You will be prompted to install the update if you do not already have the latest version. A patch is permanently stored on your system and only needs to be downloaded once.

Damage Adjustments

Quick or Off-hand melee damage can be a crucial part of some characters’ kits while for others, it is largely ineffective. The intent of the quick melee is to be a tool that allows Battleborn to give themselves some space to maneuver and to deal a moderate amount of damage to enemies crowding into melee range. While it was largely serving its purpose, the aforementioned extreme cases highlighted inconsistency regarding the effective quick melee damage per second available across characters. As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the balance impact of esoteric game elements, we’ve made some adjustments to the base off-hand melee damage for a number of characters.

The following reflect quick melee damage values at Level 1 before and after the adjustments:

Increases

  • Rath: 67 -> 151
  • Phoebe: 42 -> 63
  • Montana: 104 -> 151
  • Galilea: 94 -> 120
  • Deande: 99 -> 120
  • Alani: 54 -> 63
  • Kleese: 78 -> 94
  • Attikus: 66 -> 78
  • El Dragón: 73 -> 84

Decreases

  • Ghalt: 84 -> 47
  • Toby: 104 -> 78
  • Ernest: 104 -> 78
  • Whiskey Foxtrot: 130 -> 78
  • Pendles: 104 -> 84
  • Beatrix: 104 -> 89
  • ISIC: 70 -> 63

Characters

  • Updated Skill Damage growth formulas to be percentage based.

Prior to these changes, low damage skills became relatively more powerful as players leveled up when compared to high damage skills and attacks. These changes are intended to normalize those relationships so that as players level up, strength relationships are preserved. This should eliminate some esoteric power dynamics as players level and allow augments and mutations to be the source of power spikes as well as early/mid/late-game differences in character strength. This effort also resulted in a number of bug fixes for skills that scaled incorrectly.
