Issue is ‘rare’ but engineers are on the case

A bug affecting all versions ofBorderlands 2is resetting Badass Ranks right back down to zero, stripping the character of its bonuses, including unlockables such as customization skins. Even worse, the Badass challenges are still flagged as completed, meaning players can’t try to re-earn them.

Fortunately, Gearbox has acknowledged the issue and, while it maintains the bug is rare, is currently working on a fix. It seems that, if you’re affected by the glitch, all you can do right now is wait for Gearbox and hope your progress can be restored.

Hopefully it gets sorted out quickly … and that it doesn’t get me. Now I’m paranoid.
