Borderlands 4 Releases Patch Notes for October 30 Update

by

Gearbox Software has released a new update for Borderlands 4, addressing some remaining problems and making small improvements. Players are still experimenting with different character builds and abilities to find what works best after the latest adjustments and balancing changes.

Before the recent update, Gearbox warned players that the powerful “Crit Knife” build would be weakened. Even though the developers jokingly acknowledged the changes, many players found the adjustments weren’t as severe as they’d expected. The build still works well, though it doesn’t deal quite as much damage as before. The next update is now available, but it’s unlikely to cause such a significant shift in gameplay.

The latest update for Borderlands 4, released on October 30th, is relatively small and focuses on fixing a few persistent problems. Gearbox also improved the player experience by adding the ‘Reactor’ Gravitar Class Mod to the possible rewards from the Primordial Guardian Inceptus. Players can now also reset their Repkit, Ordinance, or Action Skills using vending machines or lost loot machines.

A recent update addresses a common complaint about the Skully grenade, a legendary item introduced with the Horrors of Kairos Halloween event in Borderlands 4. Players found its damage to be too low, so the update improves how much damage Skully’s projectiles deal before they hit enemies.

I was so excited about the new update, but I also saw that Gearbox dropped some new SHiFT codes for three Golden Keys in Borderlands 4! Randy Pitchford has been pretty good about giving those out lately, but you’ve gotta use them quickly. These keys only work for 48 hours after he posted them, so they’ll expire on October 31, 2025. I need to redeem them ASAP!

Borderlands 4 October 30 Update Patch Notes

  • The Gravitar Class Mod, Reactor, now drops from Inceptus as intended.
  • The Order Legendary Grenade Skully has been adjusted to properly increase damage of projectiles at higher levels. Also addressed an audio issue with the fire effects that were causing it to not lower in volume with distance.
  • Corrected the Knife Penetrator Augment, which was unintentionally setting all attacks to a 30% critical chance.
  • Interacting with Dr. Zed’s Meds and Guns vending machines and Lost Loot machines will now reset any Action Skills, Ordnance, or Repkits currently on cooldown.
  • Reduced the audio volume on the wings of world boss Spidananggal.
