A hot fix is automatically applied at the “Press Start” screen when Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel 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: The Pre-Sequel. To ensure that you receive hot fixes, make sure that your system is connected to the internet when Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel boots up.
An update contains changes that are permanently stored on your system and only needs to be downloaded once. You can download the latest update by launching Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel while connected to Xbox LIVE. You will be prompted to install the update if you do not already have the latest version. All updates are cumulative; you only need to install the most recent version to receive all updates.

Athena’s “Clear!” skill will no longer cause the game to crash when used on a player who is in a vehicle.

– Users are reporting disappearing Eridium-tier backpack and bank SDU upgrades. As a preventative measure, the Eridium-tier backpack and bank SDU upgrades have been temporarily disabled. A future update will include a fix that re-enables these SDU upgrades. Users who have purchased these SDU upgrades should automatically have the additional backpack and bank slots restored when that future update is live.

– Fixed a bug that allowed Nisha to dual wield weapons that weren’t pistols.
– ‘Tread Carefully’ challenge – Players can now successfully complete the challenge by destroying five powersuits without triggering any power cores.
– ‘Death from Above’ challenge – Players will now be alerted that they have unlocked a customization head after completing tier five of the challenge.
– Adjusted Flying Sera Guardian enemies to properly award experience, activate skills and trigger second wind upon defeat. [Indent]Context note: During a critical fight, killing a flying Sera Guardian is the only way for players to trigger second wind and continue the fight after being downed. The problem was that the Guardians weren’t actually granting on-kill effects. This has been fixed, but in order to do so we had to add an additional layer of protection to the flying Guardian’s arms, which can no longer be shot off.[/indent]
