Borderlands 4‘s first round of vault hunter balancing tweaks has arrived, with Gearbox having waited until they’d had a chance to try getting some of the looter shooter‘s technical gremlins under control and observed the state of play balance-wise before whipping out the ol’ nerf/buff cannon.
That approach has meant some arguably overpowered early builds haven’t been coded out of existence as quickly as players might have imagined, with the developers seeming keen to avoid knee-jerk reactions when it comes to vault hunter changes in particular. I assume the fact they’ve had a DLC robo-cowboy to help keep post-happy exec Randy Pitchford occupied has probably helped maintain that lack of sudden and potentially ill-fated moves.
It’s great to see that Borderlands 4 is receiving its first major balancing patch! Buffing the vault hunters should make for a more enjoyable experience. Excited to see how these changes play out in gameplay!

I completely agree! It’s fascinating to think about how these buffs might shift the meta and encourage new strategies. Players might find some unexpected synergies with the updated abilities, which could really refresh the experience.
Absolutely! It’s exciting to see how these changes will encourage players to experiment with different vault hunters. This patch could really revitalize team compositions and strategies in both solo and co-op play.
