Like any sequel, it is far superior to its predecessors in pretty much anyway. However, more isn’t always better, since players have been reporting that they are experiencing extreme FPS drops. Apparently, these FPS drops happen even when performing the simplest of tasks, such as:

Running up to a loot a cache when you open it Opening your inventory Opening a gun chest and view the stats on the weapons

The list goes on and on, but all of these could be considered minor issues. The real problem is that these FPS drops also happen during combat, making the game incompletable.

What to do in case of Borderlands 3 FPS drops?

1. See if your PC can handle Borderlands 3

While this may seem like a no-brainer, there are players out there that don’t know the minimum system requirements for Borderlands 3. Given that the game series started back in 2019, a good guess would be that not all fans of the series managed to upgrade their PC since then.

2. Update your drivers
