One of the most impressive things about your content is that you’ve played these games potentially more than anyone and yet you have somehow kept your streams and videos both interesting and positive! Genuine human.

[@Ki11ersix]

Thank you

[@RuckusRugs]

The Annointment Re-Roller was MASSIVE. Farming the perfect gear PLUS the right Annointment was horrible. Definitely saved late game players from so much hassle.

[@gsjacobs]

Adding Mayhem scaling to action skill and shield effect damage was incredibly good for BL3. It unlocked a lot of build diversity by making action skill builds viable alternatives to gun builds, and by allowing us to use shields offensively (e.g. Frozen Heart, Faulty Star, The Stinger, Nova Berner, but still not the Rectifier). EDIT: and melee damage too! Everyone except Zane has a cool build that doesn't work without that melee scaling.

[@SToNeOwNz]

The game was supposed to be about guns though, and making mayhem accessible to every tom dick and harry causes huge stagnation with the oversaturation of loot. i wanted to like the game but mayne it takes a year to forget all the bs.

[@kalebtacularz8259]

@@SToNeOwNzI feel like you just don’t want to like it because I’m borderlands 1, 2, & pre sequel it was the opposite case borderlands 2 especially because going from casual gamer to endgame OP 8 veteran was like going from middle school straight to Sophomore year in college for majority of people excluding Salvador players

[@gsjacobs]

@@SToNeOwNz nobody's forcing you to play those builds...there are plenty of gun-central options that work well but require plenty of farming. it's probably not a bad thing to make endgame content accessible to the majority of the player base and not require hours and hours of grinding just to START having fun. and call me crazy, but games that put this much emphasis on class/character abilities should let you actually get some mileage out of those abilities. Iron Bear and Phasegrasp might be a little overpowered, but if they just tickled enemies instead then there'd be so much less difference between Moze and Amara (who tend to use guns similarly thanks to a shared emphasis on splash and elemental damage) which means there's less to explore in the game, and you run into that BL2 situation where everyone uses BeeHawk because action skills fall off at endgame.

[@Gamerwithtaste]

Another honorable mention 👀 Remember when they were going to remove all the fantastic new annointments they added with the Joey Ultraviolet content? But then the community came together and persuaded Gearbox to keep them all 😄 It wasnt an update or buff, per se, but THAT truly saved Borderlands 3 for me, personally.

[@cabbit82]

I think the best thing Gearbox ever did was making co-operation mode where your loot is instanced to you and adding the lost loot machine so your co-op partner couldn't screw you out of legendaries. Everything else compared to that were quality of life improvements.

[@sixthcrow]

I think Zane's purple tree and Eraser was missed. That completely changed how Zane could be played, opened up so many more build options, and the whole tree increases his damage.

[@windebiesteultima3317]

Eraser + conference call = Zer0 B0re skill. I find it ironic that Gearbox hated people farming bnk3r with CC and b0re yet ended up recreating it in bl3 with Zane and graveward.

[@ohair87]

I still think the DNA is my personal favorite buff they’ve done. Made that gun go from a joke item that was Mayhem-locked and useless to a gun that could solo the hardest content in the game.

[@reignmanss]

The only issue I have with this gun is that the alternate elemental type still doesn't get the bonus

[@petermiller4953]

But, it STILL hasn't made the Woodblocker, Autoaime, and the Malak's Bane any good. They'll always suck(except for early game)

[@tf3israel584]

@@petermiller4953 Woodblocker is good on the platform that doesn't lose the buff. Autoaime is good too.

[@hardcorenacho1020]

Biggest buff is the remake of Borderlands 1. EVERY named boss drops at least 1 purple item. This made the early game when fighting sledge much easier since in the original game if you did all the quests you would still be 1-2 levels lower so having the extra firepower made the entire game more balanced and not as grindy

[@ItsOnlyD]

I mained zane when the game came out and what stuck with me the most is when I ran the bubble shield action skill and constantly getting shot through it because of bug or something of the sort, it certainly was a miserable experience on top of everything else that zane struggled with so early in the games life span.

[@bryred9299]

It was so tough maining zane the first playthrough. Everyone else talking about how awesome Fl4k and amara were and i'm here struggling with zane. The only thing that kept me on zane was his dialogue. It was the best out of all the characters.

[@Subakashi]

great reminder of all the great times we had looking through patch notes and being so excited to test the new dmg on guns. also, i believe the re-roll machine could have been a honorable mention too

[@canyuxel]

My favorite WTF moment is still the +4000% damage buff to Lob overnight (through pure +Damage% and projectile count)...

[@erics3596]

There was an absolute reason I was a Salvadore main in BL2 and a Moze main in BL3 - great vid K6!

[@logan7159]

Crit+ hail absolutely carried me into hail, its not even just mayhem 10/11 carrying the rest of the levels, but any mayhem level crit would happily holds up multiple levels and mayhem level. When nothing good wants to drop, knowing a crit is right there was so good

[@mikelilly5221]

when i disagree with a ranking on your list, it makes me think. thank you. your attitude, respect, and logic never make me question you. that’s what makes a great list.

[@Ki11ersix]

I appreciate that

[@mr.jeffinizor2713]

my favorite buff has gotta be the butcher buff from bl3, it used to be kind of a decent weapon up until mayhem levels at the start of bl3's lifecycle but then it turned into an absolute monster by the end, easily landing a spot as one of the best shotguns in the game other than the hellwalker

[@ForgieDusker]

entirely circumstantial, but i liked how the Claptastic Voyage DLC for The Pre-Sequel added the Loop Glitch Bug and let you spam dual wield Luck Cannons on Nisha. very funny, thank you gbx

[@D_Quinn]

My favourite buff is when they fixed the playing with friends thing in BL3, cos we couldnt connect half the time at launch. Good buff.

[@That1CrappyGuy]

Not one buff in particular, but I loved all the daily hotfixes that happened during the $100,000 Loot Hunt in Borderlands 2. It was cool to hunt for a particular weapon that day, and now that weapon is even better than before

[@supahsuit]

always loved using the lady fist. Pairing it with the fibber was such a fun build with sal, especially when playing with friends that were lower-leveled and you didn't want to just use your regular items

[@bryred9299]

Playing Zane pre-buff was only for people who were tough. When everyone else was maining FL4K and Amara, us tough guys were struggling with Zane. Well tough or dumb, I like to think we were tougher than everyone else.

[@sosguillotine779]

I wish gearbox would make a patch/hotfix where switching mayhem levels counts as “save and quit”. Would be especially useful on old gen consoles. I would farm a boss and just toggle between mayhem 10 and 11 with only one loading screen between each kill rather than two

[@nightmare62089]

I'm surprised the reroll machine wasn't at least an honorable mention. Sure the eridium farming isn't great, but once you know about the spot in Voracious Canopy it's not terrible at all. Even with the anointments that got cut, farming the item you wanted, with the right element and the right modifiers was tough enough only to finally get one but it had a vh specific anointment for a character you weren't even using. Rerolling made farming much more pleasant in my opinion.

[@Ki11ersix]

Honestly I could have listed about 100 honorable mentions

[@nightmare62089]

[@kelz0327]

The busted buff to iron bear as a minion was wild when it dropped. Iron cub would just one shot every thing in site. Another crazy buff was The Lob and Krakatoa

[@Starfishcentral]

My very first Borderlands 3 play through was with Moze. I recently got the ultimate edition of the game as it was on sale, but haven't downloaded any of the dlc yet as I don't have the space for them due to having loads of game footage for doing videos on my KZbin gaming channel.

[@Harrythe1st]

[@Ki11ersix]

[@onthaloose7521]

Now let’s talk the biggest nerfs: conference call and the bee circa 2012. When all pellets were buffed by the bee. Whoa boy that was fun times

[@Bosmer1701]

I was one of those that started playing BL2 with the Handsome Jack collection. Seeing todays steam, I realized I was spoiled and a bit surprised BL2 was played for how long it has.

[@BorderlandsBoy0]

BL2 Cloud kill was so bad before they buffed it now it can literally carry you through normal and TVHM. However BL3 Gun cloud kill went from decent to power crept to oblivion

[@gaelofariandel6747]

My favorite buff(s) without a doubt is(are) the one(s) that buffed the scaling on FL4K's pets based on mayhem level.

[@noahdean9685]

If borderlands 1 got a soft reboot I want to see some of the gear and weapons show up imagine Roland with the hellwalker shotgun with maxed out scattershot and the best commando class mod or brick with the dirty Harry gun!

[@PatriceRacine]

Ah Number 1. I still remember the combo of the deathless + Bloodletter, entering/exiting Iron Bear to trigger anointments, the spamming of grenades to heal the shield. Moze deserves the life on god mode.

[@dxs2_938]

For Bl2, would be nice if they brought back the 100K loot hunt event permanently.

[@GaigeStorm]

Been into BL3 again lately after a 3 year hiatus and wow to Moze. I have a Hive that gives 200% extra damage to the machine guns on the Iron bear while equipped and that paired with the skill to make 2 of the same gun do extra damage, I went into the Ruiner (first time experiencing this DLC) and wrecked him in like 10 seconds on Mayhem 11, lvl72. Iron bear is the most broken thing I think I've ever seen in a Borderlands game

[@Ki11ersix]

Yes indeed! Welcome back

[@BreitheNua]

The buffs made to BL3's story when they added the DLCs. Even if the main story wasn't great, those DLC stories were amazing.

[@hahamadeyouread214]

I wanna point out something to the hellwalker, it was a great update cause iirc there was no good jakobs shotgun and the only one that is painfully rare is a x20 stagecoach so this buff saved jakobs builds

[@dwx6618]

Remember when a single player never saw Vermivorous unless there was a foursome of Vault Hunters? Pepperidge Farms remembers...

[@The69DJ]

Ngl I always stayed on Mayhem 10 because I loved lootsplosion so much. I stick with it as long as the other modifiers aren't too cumbersome.

[@Favk21]

Lady Fist doubling its crit dmg is my favorite BL buff ever. It's incredibly satisfying to gunzerk with Grog.

[@danielcobia7818]

You know, the Lady Fist in BL2 was the weapon I used to defeat the Warrior in normal mode on my first playthrough. Too bad that didn't translate to later game until after I'd played the hell out of the game.

[@Jago-pl7op]

The buff I loved is the buff of fire in the skag den for Moze. I didn't have to rely too much on Iron Bear after that.

[@windowofpane]

My favorite buff as an Amara main, was the fish-slap. Massively buffed melee Amara. 😂 honorable mention, purple tree Orb.

[@Azriel637]

for the Crit, I always thought Gearbox dropped the ball. Given Moxxis use of innuendo, it should have been called the "Crit-oris"

[@dizzysic66]

I rarely lose The Crit.. but when I do, I swiftly but gently return it to my fingers.

[@ohair87]

I was reloading mine one time during the Guardian Takedown and a stupid guardian knocked me into one of the launch pads in Anathema’s arena and the reload drop happened right over the void. Lost it, after I had spent over 2000 Eridium re-rolling for the anointment I had on it.

[@Ki11ersix]

Ouch

[@hybridpanda78___10]

I remember yoteslaya and the 100k loot hunt when all the buffs came out. The lady first, fast ball etc. those were the days

[@BenaresDarkness]

Fire in the broken den. on my iron god Moze which is my Dhal allegiance while farming Evil Lilith I got a 405 million damage hit and I was using mind sweeper class mod which is doing nothing for the Soulrender so I could have had way more with Green monster or Blast master.

[@Aderon]

I think my favorite buffs from bl3's patch cycle were the late-game super buffs many weapons got. I just wish that they weren't a necessary evil from the insanity of the power creep that came with mayhem 2.0 and the absurd super-legendaries like the Monarch and Plasma Coil added in the main game and DLCs to maintain mayhem 2.0

[@Terry.W]

This is why we love Borderlands ...nerfs .buffs ...it's all part of the fun..

[@Rlampe9109]

This was one of the best videos on the buff's, having no idea that they removed 21 anoints I immediately had to go and check to see which ones were removed. Loved this video your top 10's are what got me watching your in the first place back with borderlands 2.

[@Ki11ersix]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PromethiaSHADOW]

Lol my MegaDeath Moze makes the hell Walker into a full auto bottomless mag monster machine when I hop out of iron bear. She can also make a fastball explode twice lol

[@jasonjohns5879]

I think the Zane buff should've been number 1, he was the first character i made Ann's just want fun i quit playing for over a yeast then they changed hin about 3 months after i started back up after i made Amara now i jump between the 2 and hard to choose my favorite

[@shiny1556]

I know this video is a couple months old but I feel like Zane was both a great example of a improvement but also had a rough nerf when they moved the green tree around. Most of the good green skills got moved higher up the tree and pretty much made it a pointless tree

[@Ki11ersix]

Agreed 100%

[@D3nsity_]

There are two things I do miss but I suppose overall was a buff to the health of the game. Pre fix because idk if its really a nerf porcelain pipe bomb, I just miss the sound it made not even the damage. I really miss pre nerf yellowcake that thing was insanely fun but also too strong.

[@Ki11ersix]

Both of those are still very good. Just not broke as hell. I used the PipeBomb on my FL4K-Nade-o playthrough

[@paskaroni2244]

Thanks for this vid - I’ve forgotten some of the details from these GBX buffs. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@bird9188]

I'm surprised skills weren't mentioned because I would have loved to see cold bore on this list, it used to be a good skill, for a first row skill it was amazing it went from 6% cryo damage per level to 40% cryo damage per level to 200% at level 5 which is just insane, it was already a good skill before the buff especially because it was a skill in the first row, then they just made it busted as shit

[@MrGlitch420]

As a day one moze main,gotta say that buff was a bit tricky for me to get used too. I had 7 mozes completed each with different builds before the patch. Great stuff. To bad I played on PS4 and nuked my own saves like a fool.

[@damienhine1861]

Favourite buff? Does adding in purple trees and the anointment reroller count? Otherwise, maybe the Soulrender buff.

[@Slug_ssbm]

I wouldn’t consider them direct buffs but shoutout to when they add guns/grenades/shields that are REALLY good on one ir two specific characters (stuff like the Tizzy for Moze/Fl4k or Sandhawk for Zane or Flipper for Moze)

[@WillFuI]

crazy how zane went from being ok to being the highest damaging vh in history

[@PoipoiFR]

The Lob? From worst in a game to very strong (until it was power crept by DLC weapons).

[@liquid801hlm_9]

I forgot skag den got buffed so hard, I had no clue what was gonna top the cloud kill buff.

[@encaged314]

I don't remember Zane getting buffed. He was my first playthrough of 3. Maybe I need to give it another go.

[@Enigmaeus]

3900% BUFF on Cloud Kill? Madness! 🤯

[@boltactionknife8247]

The reason the ladyfist was buffed was, because the CritFibber was better and nobody used the ladyfist for offhanding/switching.

[@andromydous]

I wish I could say that I'm someone who keeps up with all of that. But, I'm not. I just know that I enjoy playing as Maya, Gaige, Moze, and Amara. Still, it's interesting to learn about the evolution of both games through out the years.

[@Foxxie0kun]

I feel like instead of removing modifiers, Mayhem 11 could have gone the route of letting the players choose the modifiers from a pool and have each modifier add or subtract from a "score" that would influence drop rates and such. Let players tailor their modifiers on a whim instead of having to exit and reload, etc.

[@armyofninjas9055]

But my choice would be NO MODIFIERS

[@thefallguy1997]

Im surprised that you didn't mention the melee dmg increase for Mayhem Levels but I guess it would fall under Mayhem 11 changes
