FasterLongbow makes Longbow grenades in Borderlands 3 feel faster and more responsive by accelerating the grenade throw animation and shortening the pre-teleport delay, without changing other grenade delivery types.
- Applies only when the equipped grenade uses Longbow delivery.
- Accelerates the tested Longbow grenade throw animation.
- Shortens the Longbow pre-teleport delay.
- Provides a separate timing value for Divider-style Longbow behavior.
- Exposes all three values in the Mod Menu.
- Validates custom and manually edited settings before applying them.
- Restores temporary runtime changes when the owning grenade action ends.
- Does not modify other grenade delivery types.
- Normal gameplay logging is limited to errors.
Default values are the tested release settings:
- Throw Animation RateScale:
2.5 - Longbow Teleport Delay:
0.11 s - Divider Longbow Teleport Delay:
0.20 s
Allowed ranges:
- Throw Animation RateScale:
1.0-5.0 - Longbow Teleport Delay:
0.11-0.50 s - Divider Longbow Teleport Delay:
0.05-0.60 s
Longbow Teleport Delay is hard-limited to 0.11 s minimum. Testing showed that lower values can break Longbow teleport behavior.
The current throw-animation acceleration targets the tested FL4K / Beastmaster grenade animation assets. Longbow delivery timing itself is not limited to those animation assets.

FasterLongbow.sdkmodfrom GitHub Releases. - With Borderlands 3 closed, copy the
.sdkmodfile intact toBorderlands 3\sdk_mods\. Do not extract the.sdkmoditself. - Start the game, open MODS -> FasterLongbow, enable the mod and configure it under Options.
To update FasterLongbow, replace the existing .sdkmod with the newer file and restart the game. Remove old test/probe builds or extracted copies so only one FasterLongbow instance can load.
- Co-op support: Unknown — behavior with the mod installed only on a client while the host does not have it has not yet been validated.
- Other grenade delivery types are not intentionally modified.
