Borderlands 4 Patch Notes for November 6 Wish List

by

Now that Borderlands 4 has been available for a while, it’s becoming clear what improvements the game still needs. The next big update is coming on November 6th, and while Gearbox hasn’t said exactly what it will include, there are several features players are hoping to see added.

Borderlands 4 is off to a good start, but a few areas could be great with just a little more work. Some of these improvements are likely, while others are more ambitious, but they all share the same goal: helping Borderlands 4 live up to its obvious potential.

Borderlands 4 Endgame Improvements Are Wishful But Justified Thinking

A common complaint about Borderlands 4 is its weak endgame. Many players feel there isn’t enough to do or a compelling reason to continue playing after reaching the highest difficulty level (Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode 5). This is largely because the game doesn’t reward players with better loot for playing on harder difficulties, making those higher levels too easy.

Honestly, the endgame in Borderlands 4 feels pretty weak right now. It’s mostly just grinding the same bosses over and over, or doing the weekly Wildcard missions. I really wish Gearbox would add something more substantial, like multi-stage raids or timed events that would make revisiting familiar areas feel fresh. I’ve been reading a lot on Reddit, and everyone seems to be asking for the same thing – we want a good reason to keep playing the content we already love, and not just the same stuff with a little extra difficulty!

Honestly, I think the biggest issue with Borderlands 4 is that it feels like it’s trying to be a live-service game, but isn’t fully committing. That sets us up to expect a ton of ongoing content, way more than a typical game usually offers, and that’s where a lot of the complaints about the endgame are coming from, I think. The problem is, asking for a better endgame is tough. It’s not like a quick bug fix or performance patch – it’s a core design thing, so it’s way harder to change. Still, I’m hoping the patch on November 6th will at least address some of the endgame issues and give us something more to do.

Loot Fixes Are the Patch Wish Borderlands 4 Needs Most

Players are frustrated with the loot system in Borderlands 4 because the effort doesn’t feel worth the reward. Even after playing for a long time, it’s rare to find useful items, and when you do, they often don’t have the specific qualities you’re looking for. This makes the hunt for powerful gear feel draining rather than fun, and it’s especially annoying to still find common, low-level items even on the hardest settings.

Players are frustrated with the loot system in Borderlands 4, not just the drop rates. They feel like the game doesn’t value their time because even rare items often have bad or unusable parts. On Reddit, players are suggesting Gearbox either increase the number of lower-level items that drop at higher difficulties or make it more likely to find gear that’s useful for their specific character. Many also want improvements to vending machines and the system for recovering lost loot, believing these small changes would make the game more enjoyable and the pursuit of better gear more exciting. They hope to see these improvements in the patch coming out on November 6th.

Quality-of-Life Fixes Sit Among Borderlands 4’s Most Hopeful Wishes

There’s always potential to make Borderlands 4 even better with improvements to how the game feels to play. Some requested features have been missing for a while now. With the player count decreasing, now would be a great time to add these quality-of-life updates to keep the current players engaged and maybe even attract some back.

Quality-of-life improvements Borderlands 4 could use in the next patch:

  • Extractable firmware storage – remove firmware from weapons and store it separately to prevent bank clutter.
  • Expanded bank capacity – larger storage to support build experimentation without constant item purging.
  • Dedicated bank tab for parts or firmware – a separate category for components to keep inventories organized.
  • Crafting system refinement – a Grinder-style or Diablo-like reroll mechanic that keeps farming engaging but balanced.
  • Vehicle mobility improvements – faster traversal options or improved hover mechanics for smoother exploration.
  • More relevant Class Mod drops – Class Mod drops are currently weighted against the active Vault Hunter class.

It’s still uncertain if the upcoming patch on November 6th will include these improvements, but if it does, it could significantly boost interest in Borderlands 4. Things like a better endgame experience, more balanced loot, and much-needed quality-of-life fixes could even bring back players who have stopped playing. Right now, fans can only wait and hope that Gearbox recognizes this feedback and continues to support Borderlands 4.
