Gearbox Delays Borderlands 4’s Day 30 Patch to Early Next Week

Gearbox aims to expand viable loadouts by fixing unintended interactions that fuel overperforming builds.

Overview

  • The studio said it took a few extra days to ensure quality, moving the update into early next week.
  • The patch is set to deliver balance adjustments, performance and stability improvements, and new quality-of-life features.
  • Gearbox has flagged fixes for unintended skill interactions and adjustments to overperforming gear, including the notorious crit‑bleed throwing knife setup.
  • Creative director Graeme Timmins reiterated that any tuning is intended to broaden build diversity rather than push players into a narrow meta.
  • The brief delay effectively gives players one more weekend to use powerful combos before the adjustments land, a timing that may also reduce the need for immediate hotfixes.
