Overview

  • Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode returns with five unlockable difficulty ranks that advance through curated mission challenges rather than campaign replays.
  • Each rank grants exclusive Firmware set bonuses that can be transferred once to another item at the cost of the original gear.
  • Endgame loops add Weekly Wildcards with guaranteed Legendary drops, a Weekly Big Encore boss via Moxxi, and Maurice’s Black Market Machine, all supporting intent-based matchmaking.
  • After completing the story, players can roll new characters at level 30 to jump straight into high-level activities.
  • The roadmap starts with October’s free Horrors of Kairos mini-event, brings a paid Bounty Pack and the first Invincible Boss (with a new UVHM level) by year’s end, follows with a second Bounty Pack and the Mad Ellie Story Pack in early 2026, and launches September 12 on PS5/Xbox Series/PC with Switch 2 on October 3.
