Borderlands level cap shoots up

By Fred Dutton Published 2 November, 2010

New PC update fixes bugs too.

The level cap for the PC version of Borderlands has been topped up with a new update going live today, developer Gearbox has announced.

Borderlands players will now be able to climb up to level 58 or, if you've got The Secret Armory of General Knoxx DLC, level 69.

The update also brings with it a fix for DLC4 Achievement/Trophy glitches that have affected some users.

Gearbox hasn't confirmed when the new level cap will be available for PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 users.

    I think this is available for PS3 users also. The xbox version is still going through certification.

    I'm getting a tad irritated now. I've reached the current level cap and have deliberately not played claptrap revolution until this patch comes out. I have the PS3 version and am annoyed that it still isn't available!

    Edit: just seen the above comment. If that's the case then I take it back, but I suspect some xbox owners will be annoyed by the delay!

    According to the official posting in the Gearbox forums, the PS3 and Xbox 360 patches will both be out sometime today.

    What is the current level cap? I thought it recently went up to 70 before the latest DLC?

    I'm impressed with the amount of support Gearbox has given this game, especially the PC version. However, I still find it odd that they still haven't fixed a couple of the glaring issues on the PC version, namely the FOV and the online components.

    FOV is not a "glaring" issue, since it's totally fine for most gamers. :D
    What online bugs are there? I only play LAN multiplayer and have yet to see a bug in it. Works nice for me.
    However, there still are some strange bugs, like the magazines not fully loaded on many occasions, when they should be.
    There's also the level balancing issue. The claptrap DLC is balanced for a player around level 35-40, when the previous Knoxx DLC was for players at levels over 50 (second walkthrough). That's something really wrong. I can't enjoy the current DLC with it being so easy for a higher level char. :(

    FOV is editable in the.ini anyway isn't it?

    Looks like farming crawmerax again will have a use.
