Borderlands 3 has been updated to version 1.21 by Gearbox Software. This update is aimed at fixing some bugs reported by players.
Gearbox Software is activating three weeks of Arms Race mini-events after the release of the update today. The first mini-event is called Clear Skies and will begin after downloading the hotfix that has been released today.
In the Clear Skies mini-event, all enemies will have a chance to drop better loot and the Murdercane’s circle will take longer to close in so you have precious extra time to scavenge and explore. If you are looking for Co-op Loot Drop, you need to attempt it before the event ends later today.
