Don’t panic, the new Borderlands 4 update’s boss farming nerf was an accident and Gearbox is reversing it

The Borderlands 4 patch notes have been released alongside the Horrors of Kairos Halloween event, addressing unintended interactions that caused excessive damage scaling and boss-melting builds. A change that hindered players' ability to speed-farm bosses for loot was confirmed as unintentional and will be reverted. The vendor trick for resetting character skill cooldowns has been disrupted but will be reinstated. Several character abilities, such as Vex's Bloodletter passive and Harlowe's Neutron Capture, have been adjusted, with some effects being significantly reduced. The cost of specialization respects has decreased from 5,000 Eridium to 1,500, and improvements have been made to the Lost Loot machine's logic. New Shift codes for Borderlands 4 are available for players to collect Golden Keys.

Your Borderlands 4 loot might be more valuable than you think, so be careful what you throw away

In Borderlands 4, firmware is a feature found in non-weapon equipment slots like shields and class mods, granting additional benefits when multiple items of the same type are equipped. For example, the 'Trickshot' firmware increases gun reload speed and critical damage, while 'High Caliber' allows bullets to pierce enemies, and 'God Killer' enhances damage against tougher foes. Players can use the 'Firmware Transfer Machine' to extract firmware from unwanted items and apply it to better gear, but can only transfer firmware from matching slot types and each item can be modified only once. As players progress to the endgame, the demand for firmware increases, necessitating careful inventory management to retain valuable gear with firmware bonuses.

‘My Advice to Users Is to Accept Reality and Tune, or to Not Play’ — Randy Pitchford Is at the ‘Get a Refund From Steam’ Stage of the Borderlands 4 PC Performance Backlash

Randy Pitchford addressed concerns about the PC version of Borderlands 4 on social media, suggesting dissatisfied players seek refunds through Steam. The game has received mixed reviews, with many complaints about performance issues, including significant stuttering on PC. Digital Foundry advised against using the 'Badass' graphics setting. Pitchford encouraged players to utilize graphics technologies like DLSS for improved performance and suggested they wait for a price drop or upgrade their hardware if unhappy. He emphasized that while updates will be made, radical changes are unlikely, and he compared gaming hardware to vehicles to illustrate the importance of matching hardware capabilities with game performance. Gearbox is focused on improving Borderlands 4's performance on PC and has released an Nvidia Optimization guide on Steam, though users have reported mixed results. Players are also cautioned about shader recompilation when changing graphics settings.

Additionally, two new skins for the Break Free pack have been introduced, awarded based on player performance during the opening weekend. Players are encouraged to review system requirements and understand the enhancements to improve their gameplay experience.
