Borderlands 4 Leak Suggests Struggling Amon Mains Are About To Get A Huge Boost

by

Here’s the good news about Borderlands 4: the game itself is pretty fun!

Our review sang its praises, calling it the best in the franchise.

There’s been one major problem, though: the game’s performance has been lacking at best.

It’s commendable that Gearbox has been diligently trying to fix these problems, despite the fact that CEO Randy Pitchford has sometimes made things worse with his statements.

Now that recent updates have improved how the game runs, Gearbox is turning its attention to making the characters more balanced. The patch coming out this week is expected to significantly strengthen one particular hero.

Upcoming Borderlands 4 Patch Gives Amon Some Much-Needed Buffs

The official French 2K website prematurely published the patch notes for Borderlands 4 this morning, revealing details that weren’t scheduled to be released until later this week. The lengthy notes were accidentally made available early.
