    So will we have to wait for this too?

    So the season pass DLC is Xbox exclusive for 30 days.
    Weapon balancing comes with update 1.3, which unless I'm missing something, (definitely a possibility), is the Season Pass update.

    So will the rest of us have to wait an extra 30 days for the weapon balancing or will this be released separately???

    Yes. PC and PS4 will have to wait 30 days after the release of either the first two expansions, while the 3rd will release simultaneously on all platforms.

    Microsoft has exclusivity right with Ubi, thats why. Why this doesnt include Windows 7/8/8.1/10 machines in this exclusivity I dont know, probably because Xbone is a higher grossing than PC gaming.

    THE GOOD PART IS - XBONE gets to deal with all the bugs glitches and crap BEFORE PS4 and PC does, so we should have a very smooth (hopefully) patch / update.

    Won't be but 1/20th the player base left on PC to even know they have to wait an extra 30 days.

    No. Balance changes like weapons or the increased stash space will be applied for everyone at the same time. Some new weapons might be limited to the DLC too. Defiance is a good example how this was done. ( The new weapons dropped but you couldn't equip them if you didn't own the dlc ).

    What is source of this information? They clearly said on yesterday SOTG stream that weapon rebalancing will be part of patch 1.3. If patch 1.3 means first season pass DLC, which is exclusive to Xbox One for 30 days it means weapon rebalancing will also come later.

    I hope they will make pre-1.3 patch with weapon rebalancing and only new content in actual patch 1.3 will be exculsive to Xbox One users. They could not make any deal with Microsoft about game fixes since they did not know about those back when this exclusivity contract was signed.
