What you need to know

To ring in the New Year, Gearbox is hosting a limited-time mini-event in Borderlands 3 that’s been called Farming Frenzy. From January 16th until January 30th, legendary drop rates have been increased across the board, meaning you should take advantage of all those repeatable bosses with dedicated loot pools.

Here are the specifics according to Gearbox:

If you haven’t already, now’s also a good time to buy the Season Pass and make your way through Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot. As a standalone piece of DLC is costs $15, and adds a new storyline along with new locations aboard Jack’s casino. It’ll be a good place to put those new legendary weapons you’re getting to use.

Fill up your backpack with legendaries

Until the end of January, you’re much more likely to find legendary weapons in Borderlands 3. Anyone can participate in this free event, so go forth and have some fun.
