Borderlands 3 November update releases Takedown at Maliwan Blacksite raid and more

The latest November update for Borderlands 3 is live and brings with it a ton of updates, balance fixes and a raid mission for those who have completed the main campaign dubbed the Takedown at Maliwan Blacksite that should have rolled out by now to the PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4.
Maliwan BlacksiteThe Takedown at Maliwan Blacksite mission has Lorelei enlisting the Vault Hunter crew to take out a weapon being developed at a Maliwan research facility. Needless to say, hordes of trigger happy goons are intent on preventing you from doing so and seeing as this is intended as post-endgame content, you’ll need some fairly big guns, levels and cojones to take them out. Just to keep things interesting, you can’t respawn at the Maliwan Blacksite though you can still do so under very specific conditions.
Maliwan Blacksite environmentIn terms of updates, the new patch has an even tougher Mayhem 4 mode that not only makes enemies bullet sponges of doom but also rewards you with a new set of droppable Legendary weapons that can only be acquired in Mayhem 4.

Other quality of life updates based on requests include:  

 

  • Bank Expansion: All characters now begin the game with 20 bank slots instead of 10. By acquiring additional Storage Deck Upgrades from Marcus’s shop on Sanctuary III, players can expand the storage bank to 300 total slots;
  • Dedicated Loot Pools for Bosses: All bosses have been updated with new loot pools that give them dedicated Legendary items to drop. Players can now discover which bosses drop their favorite gear and more easily farm for those specific items;
  • Additional Vending Machines: New vending machines have been placed across multiple maps;
  • Target Dummy: A target dummy now appears in Sanctuary III’s firing range, allowing players to safely test their weapons;
  • Thank You Weapons: Two free “thank you” weapons – one for lower-level players and one for Level 50 players – are available through the in-game mail system.
