Overview

  • The September 25 update rolled out on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a roughly 11.2GB download on PC and sizable console downloads.
  • PS5 and Xbox players now have an FOV slider, with Gearbox cautioning that higher settings can reduce performance, and vehicle FOV in splitscreen now updates for both players.
  • Patch notes cite fixes for hitching, low FPS, and crashes, and creative director Graeme Timmins says console memory leak behavior has seen significant improvement under continued investigation.
  • Some users report reduced stability and heavier stuttering after updating, and Gearbox says stutter should diminish as shaders compile, advising a cache clear if issues persist after 15 minutes and to contact support if needed.
  • Gameplay tuning includes a 10% damage and magazine increase for Tediore weapons, targeted Vault Hunter bug fixes, refreshed weekly activities, and word of additional buffs targeted for a separate update.
