As noted by Forbes, the Borderlands 3 Broken Hearts Day legendary weapons only drop once per character. This includes the popular Borderlands 3 Wedding Invitation sniper rifle, which has proven to be one of the deadliest guns in the game by a significant margin. Some Borderlands 3 fans aren’t happy that they can’t keep grinding for the special Broken Hearts Day legendary weapons like they were able to do with the special Bloody Harvest guns, but on the bright side, the weapons all drop at level 53.

The new Borderlands 3 level cap is 53, so the weapons will drop at the highest level, though players won’t be able to farm for Anointed versions. The new level cap, meanwhile, is the other issue that has been causing problems for some Borderlands 3 players who are participating in the Broken Hearts Day event festivities.
With the new Borderlands 3 level cap comes higher-level enemies that are even tougher to kill than the ones encountered before. This means that the level 50 weapons and equipment that players have spent a ton of time grinding to get is far less useful than it was prior to the event. This means that Borderlands 3 players who want to use specific guns or equipment will need to farm for them all over again after they hit the new level cap.
Other players won’t be bothered by this at all, and will be happy that the game has a higher level cap. After all, this gives Borderlands 3 players more progress to shoot for in the end-game, which should go a long way in making the upcoming Borderlands 3 DLC 2 a bit more interesting. It will also give players more skill points to spend so that they can make their character even more powerful, so maybe the trade-off will be worth it.
There are definitely some concerns that the Borderlands 3 community has with the Broken Hearts Day event, but overall the event seems to be mostly well-received by fans. It will be interesting to see if Gearbox Software adjusts to the criticisms that this event has received for any future limited-time events that the game has to offer.
Borderlands 3 is out now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
