The Borderlands 4 update that will usher in a range of balance fixes and performance improvements is taking a little longer than expected, and so will not roll out this week as planned but will instead arrive “early next week.”
“Quick update that our Day 30 Update, which includes balance adjustments, performance and stability improvements, and some new quality-of-life features, will be hitting early next week!” Gearbox said on Steam. “We took a few extra days to help ensure a great experience for you.”
Patch delays are generally not a big deal, but this one is notable for its potential impact on the game. Borderlands 4 creative director Graeme Timmins provided an ominous-sounding “seven days notice” last week that this would be a “larger” patch, making changes “to specific gear and those unintended interactions.” Foremost among those interactions is a throwing knife that, when combined with a particular passive, becomes what PC Gamer’s Harvey Randall called an “infinite bleed god-knife” capable of killing the hell out of pretty much anything.
