Gearbox Investigating Borderlands 2 Badass Tokens Glitch
Written Tuesday, September 25, 2012 By Lee Bradley
View author's profile

Players are experiencing a glitch in Borderlands 2 that resets their Badass Token collection.

Badass Tokens are earned by completing challenges. Unfortunately, however, when the bug kicks in it leaves the challenges completed, meaniing that players can not earn their Badass Tokens back. On top of all this, upgrades purchased with the tokens are also disappearing. Sheesh.

Gearbox is aware of the issue and is currently investigating. Apparently it’s caused by corrupted save data.

"Thanks for all the reports and specific details, folks,” said Gearbox community manager Chris Faylor. “Our engineers are looking into this, and the information you've provided has proven to be a great resource while we investigate.

“At the moment, it seems to be a fairly rare issue and we'll keep you updated on when we resolve it."

Borderlands 2 is currently sitting pretty at the top of the UK charts and rightly so, we loved it. So much so that we put together a ten minute vid in which we show off no less than 100 weapons. Have a look at it below.

Damn. That's a hell of a thing to lose. That stuff starts making a difference later on. Amazing game nonetheless!

Luckily I haven't encountered this, but I feel sorry for the guys that have. Hopefully Gearbox can fix this issue.

Now they just need to fix the impassable Arena glitch with Round 5 and the common Steam synch data loss with PC.

Well I have no problem with token so far at moment. No glitched so far in my game. But when I joined my friend last 2 days and when we in Dust to kill enemies so while we done that and then Buzzard fly around and attack us so we need kill them anyway so when we tried kill him and Buzzard went through big rock when we shot him down so he not blew up when crashed or even kill him so he just fall down when shot him then went through big rock and he stuck with flip up and down if you know what I mean so that is glitched in his game. He decide to dashboard then reload then kill him again without glitch. Lol

Well this game is rare glitched and awesome game.

I proud with Gearbox because they polished this game so far and much careful with it. I am so happy with them.

Well done to Gearbox Software. :):)

You see the occasional bug here and there in most every game, but it's the bugs like this that just make you not want to continue playing until it's fixed. Every badass token ever just gone. That's a scary thought.

@5 - Longest sentence I ever read.

OT: Only encountered a few minor glitches in the game so far, mainly enemies falling through the floor and NPCs becoming amalgamated with the scenery, but nothing close to game breaking. Can only hope Gearbox find a way to refund everyone their lost tokens.

Only glitch I've ever seen is sometimes when I drop a piece of equipment to replace it (by holding X on it), the item I drop never drops, it just vanishes instead.

It would be sad to have the badass tokens vanish, and not be able to earn any more. I've been doing challenges for like three straight days, ignoring storyline and levelling up. When you've got almost everything at 5% and you're level 17... Man you murder stuff FAST.

@15 lol, cant wait to do that when i start my Salvadore playthrough, im playing as Maya now on my first plythrough, so im not going to notice the Badass Ranks to much, as they are going up as i level up.

the only bugs i've come accross are the usual "idiot player" ones, IE: making character and Runners go where they probably shouldnt... cos im impatiant and want to go as he crow flies.

@12 - finish your shotgun challenges and then come back and apologize, you idiot.

Gotta max out the one where you point blank kill them with the shotty and then you unlock the sniper shotgun challenge.

Back on topic, sucks for those that have encountered this glitch. I have only had a couple happen where I stop moving and have to save and quit in order to keep playing. But nothing game breaking.

I have no concerns, Gearbox produces fantastic games and is always quick to find and fix issues. Borderlands 1 was getting tweaks and fixes all the time, and I never had one problem so I'm confident in the developer here.

A few of my challenges have glitched out, all of them have been from live disconnects

The only real glitch I've encounter was when you have to go meet the Firebird for the first time. During the battle near the end of that mission, one of my stupid random partners decided to leave the area for no reason. As a result, the mission wouldn't progress; no enemies would spawn in that final section. However, it was nothing that a trip back to the dashboard and rebooting the game didn't solve.

The only glitch I ran into is with money. I had over $100K and then I died. I respawned and play for few mins before realizing thta my money counter is down to $50K less than what I've had. (and no there was no loot midgets invloved, if they can even shit from you). In the end money is not all that important so whatever.

I would cry if I lost my tokens though, I am at badass rank 3500 right now=/

My badass rank is 7382 ! ! !
the only thing I'm confused about is, when say I put tokens into gun damage, the damage on my gun stats stays the same, same with accuracy and reload speed.

@24 Not sure if it's the same for 2, but in the first Borderlands it costs money to respawn when you die.

I'm glad this hasn't happened to me. Shame it has happened to some. I just hope they're also fixing the Do No Harm mission.

@#26 It's the same for this one, but I know how much I lose when I die and the most it took was $13K. There is no way they would take half of money away for one death=(

Well boner, I seem to be the only who has encountered this so far on this forum, it's so infuriating, you don't just looks your rank and stats, you also lose all your skins and customization stuff. I'm literally so upset I'm not going to play the game until this is fixed and hopefully I get all the stuff I worked so hard for back. I've been so excited about the game since it was first announced.
