Borderlands 4 update delivers Vault Hunter and weapon buffs, but more is coming

Overview

  • The multi‑platform update went live on September 25 with a roughly 11GB download on PC and a wide set of technical and gameplay changes.
  • PS5 and Xbox Series X|S now have a long‑requested field‑of‑view slider, and Gearbox warns higher FOV settings can reduce performance; vehicle FOV now syncs for splitscreen users.
  • Patch notes cite fixes for hitching, low FPS, crashes, and infinite loading, yet some PC players report worse stuttering; Gearbox recommends 15 minutes of shader compilation and clearing the GPU shader cache if issues persist, or filing a support ticket.
  • Balance adjustments include Vault Hunter bug fixes and buffs alongside gear changes such as a blanket +10% damage and +10% magazine size for Tediore weapons, Hellwalker now always spawning with fire, and boosts to Lucky Clover and Fisheye exotics.
  • Weekly endgame offerings rotated with a new Big Encore boss, a fresh Wildcard mission, and a new location for Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine.
