Borderlands 4's post-release objectives brim with content – a claim that extends to the farming of supposedly "Invincible" bosses as well.

Borderlands 4, set to launch on September 12, 2025, for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Steam, and Epic Games Store, is gearing up for an action-packed adventure. Here's a rundown of some of the exciting features and content that players can look forward to.

New Locations and Bosses

The first story pack, titled "Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned," will focus on the character Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned, featuring a cosmic horror theme, new missions, and a new playable Vault Hunter. The first Invincible boss, offering raid-style encounters with massive health pools and unique mechanics, is scheduled to arrive in Q4 2025.

Legendary Weapons and Gear

Borderlands 4 boasts an impressive array of Legendary weapons, each with unique abilities. For instance, the Level 30 Legendary Torque Ordnance fires a volley of high-speed ricocheting rockets, while the Level 30 Legendary Ripper Grenade teleports through several enemies, damaging on each bounce. The Gilded Glory Pack, available with pre-orders, includes a Vault Hunter skin, two Vault Hunter heads, a weapon skin, an ECHO-4 drone skin, and four pieces of Legendary Gear.

Weekly Challenges and Rewards

Weekly Wildcard missions add community-wide challenges with enemy modifiers, and always include a guaranteed Legendary drop. Players can also take on Weekly Big Encore bosses through Moxxi's Big Encore Machine using Eridium, which can be earned in-game.

Seasonal Events

Borderlands 4 will host seasonal mini-events, with the first, Horrors of Kairos, bringing spooky weather effects, new cosmetics, and new Legendary gear, starting in October 2025.

Bounty Packs and Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode

Each Bounty Pack includes new main missions, a boss encounter, a piece of Legendary gear, a Vault Card with 24 cosmetics and four pieces of re-rollable gear, a Vault Hunter skin, an ECHO-4 drone skin, and a new vehicle. The first Bounty Pack centres on Rush, leader of the Outbounders faction in the Fadefields. Gearbox is expanding Borderlands 4's endgame with Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, introducing new difficulty tiers that can be unlocked through gameplay, with the most formidable challenges offering the highest-tier rewards.

Return of Pearlescent Rarity

Pearlescent rarity is finally making a return as a free update alongside Bounty Pack 2 in Q1 2026, offering more powerful gear than Legendary.
