This Minor Update covers Weekly Activities from December 18, 2025 to January 8, 2026 while we take time off for some holiday R&R. There will be no change to Weekly Activities on January 1, 2026. We'll see you in the new year, Vault Hunter!
To close out 2025, we're mixing things up with a Triple Threat of Big Encore Bosses and a Season's Lootings increase to Legendary drop rates for bosses! Starting today, this Triple Threat will feature THREE True Bosses at once while our team logs off to celebrate Mercenary Day with our loved ones. We'll resume our weekly rotation of bosses with our Minor Update on January 8, 2026!
Meanwhile, during Season's Lootings you'll be up to 5x more likely to get a Legendary drop (outside of Big Encore Bosses and Bloomreaper) as you grind for loot while this effect is live, also until January 8! Legendary loot drops will still be infrequent enough to feel special, in keeping with our overall design intent.
Please restart your game to ensure that the update goes through and to prevent connection errors in matchmaking.
If you're encountering any issues, we have an Issue Tracker for known issues, our PC Troubleshooting Guide, or the Tech Tinkering Tips section of this very help center! Just in case you need more help, you can also contact our Support Teams directly.
