Gearbox has released a much-needed patch for their latest title, Borderlands. The patch is only for the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles so far, but don’t worry PC gamers, it looks like Gearbox plans to release updates for ALL the platforms as soon as they can.
If you play the lone female character, Lilith, like I do, then you will be incredibly happy about this patch. They have fixed her Phase Strike ability to work as it was intended to. So now you should be able to melee strike while in Phase Walk instead of melee attacks ending your Phase Walk. I’m glad they finally fixed this because I thought I was going crazy wondering what was so special about her ability, except beating teammates to the treasure.
Here is a breakdown of what is fixed with the patch:
Xbox 360 Fixes
Fixed a bug which caused players and other things in the world to appear incorrectly on clients in networked games
Fixed a bug in which players gibbed in arena combat disappeared
Fixed a bug which caused the dollars counter to spin continuously
Fixed a bug that caused the digger elevator to be unusable after completing the Find Tannis mission
Weapon mapping to the D-pad should no longer reverse left and right
Various localization and other text and tooltip corrections
The introductory quests with CL4P-TP should now always progress properly all the time
Lilith’s Phase Strike ability now works as intended
Load times have been improved
