Borderlands 3 hotfix buffs Captain Haunt, makes a few changes to Bloody Harvest loot drops
There's a new Borderlands 3 hotfix.
Gearbox has dropped a new Borderlands 3 hotfix to take care of a couple of Bloody Harvest bugs. More specifically, the Captain Haunt boss fight has been adjusted in a few ways.
Gearbox saw that players were skipping phases in that fight because Captain Haunt's shields weren't tanky enough. To fix this, his shields have been boosted, but the fight now has a higher chance to drop legendary gear compared to pre-hotfix.
Outside of that fight, Gearbox made a few other tweaks to drop rates. Hecktoplasm should now drop more freqnetly from Ghosts, with up to five Hecktoplasm from Loot Ghosts. Loot Ghosts now drop more loot, too, and more Blood Harvest legendary gear.
As the Bloody Harvest event nears its end (December 5), Terror anointed parts will now drop more from Bloody Harvest enemies, but less from regular enemies. Read on below for the full set of patch notes.
