Last week, Gearbox Software re-opened the doors to the first adventure on Pandora withBorderlands: Game of the Year Edition, a remaster that fans have been hoping to see for a few years now. In addition to updated visuals and 4K support,Borderlandsremastered has some quality of life improvementslike a minimap, more character customization options, an enhanced final boss battle, and more unique guns to find. Unfortunately, the online connectivity has proven to be less-than-reliable since launch, a fact that Gearbox is currently investigating.
Following last week’s launch, console and PC players alike have been seeing connection issues when attempting to utilize theonline co-op aspects ofBorderlands: Game of the Year Edition. Gearbox Software put out a Tweet yesterday, letting fans know that the studio is testing potential fixes for the online issues, although no further details or a timeframe for when a fix may arrive was given in the update.
Given how much the community wanted to see a remastered version of the originalBorderlands, the studio is well aware of how tough this situation is. As a way to say thank you for the player’s patience Gearbox posted a new Shift code which unlocks Golden Keys that can be used at the golden Fyrestone chest in-game for new loot. The keys are added to the player’s account, so technically once they’re added, they can be used in any of the three majorBorderlandsgames.
Even thoughBorderlands: Game of the Year Editionintroduces a number of improvements, some classic exploits remain as players remember them almost a decade ago. The armory glitch fromThe Secret Armory of General KnoxxDLC, a mechanic that players utilized to farm the Knoxx Armory without the usual timer, has been left in place. Players have also found a new glitch that allows them toreset and respawn the cheststhat appear after the final boss fight, essentially letting them acquire all six new legendary weapons added to the game.
Borderlands: Game of the Year Editionis available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
