Borderlands 2 Hot Fixes
March 12, 2013

  • The “Surprise!” challenge is now immediately visible and no longer hidden.
  • Addressed some instances where Booster and Adaptive shield sound effects would not properly trigger.
  • Fixed an issue where the ‘Evolution’ shield could incorrectly list a Recharge Delay of 0.00 seconds.
  • PC: Item of the Day can now be selected via mouse in Seraph and Torgue vending machines.

A hot fix is automatically applied at the "Press Start" screen when Borderlands 2 is connected to the internet. In general, hot fixes are used to temporarily address issues between major updates. Hot fixes are not permanent — they are temporarily stored in memory during the game session and lost upon exiting Borderlands 2.

To ensure that you receive hot fixes, make sure that your system is connected to the internet when Borderlands 2 boots up. A hot fix differs from an update in that an update contains changes that are permanently stored on your system and only needs to be downloaded once.
