Gearbox has announced that it will pause nerfing certain damage builds in favor of implementing buffs. This decision follows feedback from fans regarding unintended interactions in the game.
- Gearbox has learned its lesson from past nerfs.
- Graeme Timmins announced a focus on buffs.
- Amon may be the weakest Vault Hunter currently.
- No specific timing on the patch has been provided.
- Players have reported various inventory bugs.
Creative Director Graeme Timmins stated on Twitter that the company is aware of the discourse surrounding builds using unintended interactions and the knife. They will focus on underperforming gear and skills first.
Currently, Amon is considered one of the weakest Vault Hunters, and many trees on various characters are underperforming. There is no specific timing for the upcoming patch, but fans are awaiting further updates.
“We’re not going to act on those immediately, instead, we’re looking at our first round of buffs.”
— Graeme Timmins, Creative Director
