Best Places To Farm Wedding Invitation In Borderlands 3

The Wedding Invitation is a legendary sniper rifle in Borderlands 3 that can be obtained during the Broken Hearts Day event. To unlock the Wedding Invitation, players need to shoot and break 100 hearts, which can be found floating almost everywhere. While the Wedding Invitation is a highly sought-after weapon, players are limited to obtaining only one per character during the event. However, there are workarounds and tricks that players can use to farm for multiple Wedding Invitations.

Broken Hearts Day event

The Broken Hearts Day event is a seasonal Valentine's Day-themed event in Borderlands 3. It was introduced in 2000 and returned in 2001, and after the summer 2021 update, players can activate the event themselves from the main menu.

During the event, enemies can spawn floating hearts above them. These hearts, when destroyed, produce different effects. There are a few different types of hearts, including:

• Bro Love: Buffs your team's damage output.
• The Big Muscle: Temporarily turns an enemy into an ally.
• Looty Boi: Drops loot with a chance of a legendary item. The Wedding Invitation and Polyaimorous are in the drop pool for Looty Boi hearts.
• Burning Desire: Creates a large fireball and leaves an incendiary puddle, damaging nearby enemies.
• Sizzling Lovers: Creates a corrosive explosion.

Maurice on Sanctuary 3 keeps track of the number of hearts broken, and players can earn various rewards for breaking a certain number of hearts. The rewards for the Broken Hearts Day event are as follows:

• 25 Hearts – Cosmic Romance weapon trinket
• 50 Hearts – Legendary Maliwan SMG
• 75 Hearts – Heart Breaker vault hunter skins
• 100 Hearts – Wedding Invitation Legendary Sniper Rifle

The Wedding Invitation is a legendary sniper rifle manufactured by Jakobs. It is obtained by shooting 100 hearts in the Broken Hearts Day event. The gun is very ammo-efficient due to its critical hit effect, which refunds ammo to the magazine and causes an explosion centred on the target. The bullets also ricochet and deal cryo damage.

Valentine's Day seasonal event

The Wedding Invitation is a legendary sniper rifle in Borderlands 3, manufactured by Jakobs. It is a reward for completing the game's Valentine's Day seasonal event, Broken Hearts Day, which runs from February 13 to 20. During this event, players can shoot floating hearts that appear over the heads of lovesick enemies. These hearts produce a number of unique effects when destroyed, such as temporarily converting an enemy into an ally, providing buffs, or dropping loot.

There are up to five rewards that can be collected from shooting down these floating hearts, including special skins and exclusive weapons. The Wedding Invitation is the reward for destroying 100 hearts. It is a very ammo-efficient weapon due to its critical hit effect, which refunds bullets to the magazine and causes them to ricochet and deal cryo damage on critical hits. The gun's flavour text, "Will you be the rest of my life?", refers to its high incendiary damage.

To obtain the Wedding Invitation, players must first enable Broken Hearts Day from the Play menu and then talk to Maurice to start the event. Maurice will ask players to collect hearts, which can be found floating almost everywhere. Players will then need to shoot or "break" these hearts to obtain their rewards. After breaking 100 hearts, players can unlock the reward chest, and the Wedding Invitation will be automatically added to their inventory.

It is important to note that players can only obtain one Wedding Invitation per character during the event. To obtain multiple copies, players would need to duplicate and overwrite the save file of the donor character. However, a subsequent update now allows players to obtain multiple copies by enabling the event again.

Farming for specific anointments

Anointments are additional buffs that can spawn on items in Borderlands 3. They can be activated by using your action skill, for example. As the endgame in Borderlands 3 revolves around these weapon boosts, it is important to farm for the best anointments on your favourite legendary items.

Another method for console players is to create a secondary account with a new character and play split-screen. This way, hearts will count toward your party, rewarding your secondary character with the Wedding Invitation at the end. If the new gun has better stats than the old one, you can transfer it to your main character.

There are also certain anointments that are exclusive to specific Mayhem levels. For example, Mayhem 4 has some anointments that are exclusive to that level.

Cloud saves

To avoid losing your character and save data, it is recommended that PC players disable Epic's cloud save feature and instead manually back up their character files. This can be done by opening the Epic Games Launcher, clicking 'Library' on the left, clicking the three dots next to Borderlands 3, and then disabling the 'Enable Cloud Save' option.

You can then open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to your Borderlands 3 save location, which will look something like this: C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\my games\Borderlands 3\Saved\SaveGames\baa63654...random chars. From there, you can manually back up your character and profile files to a safe location, such as a thumb drive or cloud storage service.

If you need to restore your backed-up save files, simply copy the backup into the save folder and overwrite the current, corrupted save file.

Console players, such as those on Xbox, are also able to back up their saves by using a second console. By loading the game on the alternate console, the saves will sync, and players can then play on their main console. After a while, logging back into the alternate console will sync any new saves.

While cloud saves can be convenient, it is important to be aware of the potential issues and take steps to protect your save data.

Console workarounds

The Wedding Invitation is a highly sought-after sniper rifle in Borderlands 3, but the game limits players to only one per character. This has led to players finding workarounds to farm for multiple Wedding Invitations, especially on consoles where the process is a bit more tricky compared to PC.

One method for console players is to create a secondary account with a new character and play in split-screen mode. By shooting hearts together, the hearts counted for both players, allowing the secondary character to also obtain the Wedding Invitation at the end of the event. If the new gun has better stats, it can be transferred to the main character. However, this method requires creating a new character for each additional Wedding Invitation, and there are indications that this method may have been patched and may not work consistently.

Another workaround for console players involves manipulating cloud saves. Players can go offline, open the Wedding Invitation reward, delete their system save, and then reconnect to the online service to farm for another legendary sniper rifle. However, it is important to note that this method could potentially mess up save files, so it should be done with caution and at the player's own risk.

While these console workarounds can be helpful, they may not always be reliable or risk-free. It is recommended to keep an eye on the Borderlands 3 subreddit and community forums, as players often share the latest methods and updates regarding farming for the Wedding Invitation and other desired items in the game.
