Borderlands 4 Makes First Bounty Pack Free, Adds Fifth DLC for Season-Pass Owners

Gearbox cited time constraints on planned content as the reason for the holiday giveaway.

Overview

  • Bounty Pack 1, How Rush Saved Mercenary Day, is live on consoles and PC as a free update featuring a mid-campaign questline centered on Rush.
  • The pack adds new missions and a boss, new Legendary gear, a Vault Card with up to 24 cosmetics and rerollable items, plus character, vehicle, and Echo-4 bot cosmetics.
  • To honor earlier commitments, a fifth Bounty Pack will be developed, with Deluxe, Super Deluxe, and Bounty Pack Bundle purchasers receiving it at no extra cost.
  • A free mid-December update will introduce Bloomreaper the Invincible as an endgame arena fight with boosted difficulty and new Legendary rewards.
  • Gearbox’s 2026 roadmap includes the Q1 Story Pack Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned introducing new Vault Hunter C4SH, alongside a free Takedown mode, as Take-Two recently noted sales trailed internal expectations despite a record launch.
