New Battleborn hotfixes bring a few characters down to earth

Gearbox unveiled the first newsletter they are calling Battleborn Battleplan in an effort to keep their community informed of the changes to the game. One of the advantages to being always online, is that a developer can easily upload small fixes to their servers instantly, which Gearbox has done with Battleborn. This week, the hotfix focused on three characters who are seemingly a tad over powered. Here are the official details.

• Reduced Galilea’s Great Sword damage by 18%
• Reduced Shield Throw damage by 33%

• Reduced ISIC’s base health by 20%
• Reduced Rotating Wards’ block strength by 50%
