Borderlands 3 , developed by Gearbox Software , recently introduced a new feature that allows players with max - level characters to skip to the endgame . This update , announced last week , lets players start a new game with a new character and immediately reach the shooter 's maximum level . However , what players were n't told was that they would face the final boss with subpar loot . One Reddit player discovered this firsthand when their new level 72 character had to take on the final Tyreen fight with only green - grade gear.
Gearbox 's recent update for Borderlands 3 brought unexpected quality of life improvements to the game . Released in 2019 , Borderlands 3 received a new patch in 2024 , featuring an auto - sell loot toggle based on rarity . This feature allows players to automatically sell unwanted items , avoiding clutter in their inventory . Additionally , players can now create a new max - level character directly from the main menu after beating the main game and reaching max level with at least one character.
I hope Gearbox backports this feature into other older Borderlands games . At the very least , this needs to be a feature in Borderlands 4 or whatever the next main game ends up being.
The release of these updates for Borderlands 3 coincides with the recent Borderlands movie , which garnered poor reviews and reception . It is speculated that Gearbox is hoping to attract more players and increase sales of the game following the movie 's release . The ability for Steam Deck users to increase in - game text size was also added in the update , catering to a wider range of players.
Overall , while the Borderlands movie may not have been a hit , the updates for Borderlands 3 have provided players with improved gameplay experiences and quality of life enhancements . As fans await the potential announcement of Borderlands 4 , these updates keep the franchise fresh and engaging for both new and returning players.
