glitch that can be exploited to farm large amounts of legendary gear in less than five minutes.The Borderlands 3 Reddit page has seen a number of posts discussing the glitch, with fans sharing tips on how to receive powerful end-game legendary weapons. Most of the instructions advise players to take advantage of the exploits at Mayhem 3, the new high risk / high reward mode that raises the game’s difficulty.
“End game farming you can easily get 200 or so legendaries in an hour or hour and a half at most,” wrote Reddit user u/ChuunibyouImouto in one post. “By this point, me and my friends have reach the stage of recognizing most legendaries by name and immediately knowing which are auto vendor garbage and which are not.”
While the glitch can provide riches, farming in a loot-based game like Borderlands 3 essentially breaks the whole experience. Once you’re fully equipped with the most powerful weapons in the game, there’s not much else to do except wait for when the Raid Boss arrives in a few months. For this reason, it’s almost inevitable that developer Gearbox will be patching these glitches. As such, it’s unclear how long they’ll last.
