Gearbox has confirmed that Borderlands 4's drop rates have been decreased now that Mercenary Day is over, and players really aren't happy with the "massive fumble".
To celebrate the holiday season (which I think we're all missing already), Borderlands 4 saw a rather interesting update that added Mercenary Day, the Pandora equivalent of Christmas. Not only did that result in a bunch of holiday cosmetics and the How Rush Saved Mercenary Day update, but it also resulted in some increased drop rates.
That meant that anyone playing Borderlands 4 had a better chance of getting good loot, which is kind of the whole point. Still, better drop rates mean less grinding, and therefore a much happier community. Like the holidays themselves, though, that happiness has turned out to be fleeting, at least for the time being.
As reported by GamesRadar+, Gearbox recently took to Twitter to announce that a minor update for the game had just gone live. In response to this, Twitter user DracoDivinus asked Gearbox if the increased drop rates that were present for Mercenary Day are being kept, since there's no mention of them in the patch notes.
'Another Day, Another Univere' is the looter shooter...
