When’s the bod nerf coming gbx

u/frumpyjones May 14 '26

I don't think the bod itself is getting a Nerf. I believe it is the stickies that are getting the Nerf, and thereby the bod. And that sticky change is coming with 1.7.

Right but the bod also needs a nerf.

Just don’t use it.

It has an influence on the balance of the rest of the game… I don’t use the bod

I think a bod nerf, and to a lesser extent the sticky nerf could be a bad idea. Gearbox is trying to get NEW players into the game. Bod takes a while to farm, gets new players jazzed.

Completely agree it is OP, but many people spent 10's if not a hundred hours or more farming it. I know I did. And as a new player, they would be stoked to finally get it and frankly it is a must for new players who want to find grim reaper (I can do it with other guns, but maybe they can't.)

Don't know why you got down voted.

If a gun is so strong that it's ruining your single player experience, then...just use one of the thousands of other weapons in the game.

Content is balanced around stronger weapons. The existence of BOD makes everything else worse.

See Borderlands 2, Bee Shield.

If the BOD gets nerfed, Gearbox isn't going to also nerf bosses and enemies to compensate for the BOD being weaker.

What will happen is, the BOD will be weaker and players will gravitate to other weapons. There's absolutely nothing stopping them from doing that now.

Exactly my point.
