  • Players can revisit specific missions or boss fights for targeted loot via Moxxi’s Big Encore Machine and now heal manually using customizable health kits
  • Mobility receives an upgrade with double jump, gliding, climbing, swimming, grappling hooks and instant vehicle spawns through the Digirunner to enhance exploration on Kairos
  • The companion system introduces Trouble the tiger for melee support and ECHO-4 the robot for environmental scanning and navigation assistance
  • The loot system has been recalibrated to improve the viability of non-Legendary gear through Licensed Parts customization while reducing Legendary drop rates for a more balanced progression
