Blog Andrew Joseph 02 Oct , 2025 0

Borderlands 4 Developer Gearbox has released its first large balance update for the Robber Shooter since its emergence and has made many important gains a reality in general.
exist Blog PostsGearbox said its goal is to “always provide players with the tools and means to build the perfect vault hunter,” it hopes players can experiment and make theories for buildings by combining different equipment, firmware, skills and professional trees.
To do this, it focuses on creating greater building diversity by adjusting underperforming skills. Amon, the weakest vault hunter in the game, gained a Buff that brought him closer to other playable characters.
Elsewhere, the Vex's Summoning and Rafa's melee ability have been adjusted to make these buildings more viable in the late finals, the gearbox says. Harlowe made some tweaks: “Make sure Stasis gets value for players.”
The gearbox has said it will leave too many buildings, Even people based on the so-called “unexpected interaction”, Focusing on enthusiasts for the time being, the studio has been loyal to today's patches.
However, the gearbox warns that, however, these builds are expected to fall to some extent in the future. “Looking forward, we are investigating statistics and behaviors on class mods, representative suites, shields and firmware to ensure they provide avenues for greater building diversity,” the studio said.
“We also plan to fix many unexpected interactions. These vulnerabilities prevent us from creating meaningful building diversity because they make it easy to challenge within, which is designed to challenge players.”
Gearbox continues: “We are excited about the future of Borderlands 4 and the upcoming post-release roadmap. It’s just the beginning of a year of exciting updates and content, and we can’t wait to experience everything with our community.”
It is worth noting that there are some improvements in the patch notes below, which is not balance rather than performance. This update adds automatic clearance of 4 stale shaders in the version update, preventing performance degradation on some PCs.
