Borderlands 2 glitch robs Badass Tokens, Gearbox investigating

4.5

A number of Borderlands 2 players have been hit by a glitch that resets their 'Badass Token' collection.

The error, which looks to be affecting players on PC, PS3 and 360, sees a player's Badass Token count returned to zero, but the challenges that were completed to earn them remain completely. This renders the player totally unable to recover lost tokens.
Even worse, upgrades purchased with the tokens are also going AWOL, according to complaints on the official forums (thanks Kotaku).

Gearbox community manager Chris Faylor has told fans that the developer is investigating the issue, which seems to be caused by corrupted save file data.

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

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

Borderlands 2 debuted at number one in the UK Charts figures released today, outpacing Codemaster's F1 2012 and Konami's PES 2013.

Below is a video of one player triggering the glitch.

They should've got it for PC. You can get a Nvidia 9800 GT Graphics card for 120, and tha'll run anything that's out right now with awesome graphics.
Just get a phenom black for 80 and you're set for at least 5 years.
Also, PC's don't **** up like consoles. You usually don't have to buy replacement parts. You usually just fix the problem.

They need to fix this stupid glitch fast. I would call it a bug more then a glitch.

This is a shame to hear, just as you think a game is released which is up to great standards, to then have a bug. At least they're franticly working on a fix.
