You’re probably wondering how in the world a patch can be humorous. Yeah, me too. Somehow, Gearbox achieved the impossible and created such a thing. The newest update for Borderlands on PC fixes a wide assortment of issues — and some of them are so ridiculous, I don’t even know what to say.
Take this one, for instance: “The ‘Careful, he bites’ achievement should now properly unlock when playing in French.” Uh, what? Or how about “Opening the bank in the ‘Mad Moxxi’ DLC no longer prevents other players from moving.” That is a thing that can actually happen?!
And finally, with the arrival of this new patch, we can no longer obtain multiple copies of the DLC. Bummer.
