Alongside that, base game owners will also enjoy a slew of new changes via the Borderlands 4 update 1.100.001 download file.
For the full breakdown of new content, alongside the gameplay changes made, read on. This is a long one, as past premium DLCs also received tweaks too.
Borderlands 4 Story Pack 2 and Bounty 5 Pack 5 Adds New Content
Story Pack 2: FL4K and the Last Resort
In Story Pack 2: FL4K and the Last Resort, players team up with returning beastmaster FL4K on the tropical island of Providence to save their loyal skag companion Mr. Chew from the Tediore corporation, led by five elite managers serving the ruthless Lieutenant Harmony.
Vault Hunters will infiltrate Providence’s active volcano bunker, grapple across the jungle with newly introduced ziplines, and upload directly into Tediore’s digiverse servers to fight enemy waves at the source. Opponents include soldiers in exo-suits that fight on even after death, hulking mechs with varying weapon attachments that can buff their allies and digistruct reinforcements, and minibosses spawned from the volcano spewing Ordonite-infused lava during dynamic world events. Surviving players will have a chance to earn two new Pearlescent weapons and 18 pieces of Legendary gear.
Playable Vault Hunter: Loveless the Hacker
Loveless the Hacker arrives as an all-new playable Vault Hunter. An ex-Anshin hacker turned assassin, Loveless has achieved a symbiotic fusion of biological and digital power to become a superior lifeform. Her psyche is shared with a digital virus of her own creation, which can digistruct into a physical Wyrm form to act as a deadly extension of her shared, perfection-seeking will.
Loveless’ aggressive, agile kit specializes in Critical Hits, Status Effects, and devastating Corrosive and Radiation damage. Learn about Loveless’ unique Trait and Action Skills on the Loveless Vault Hunter page, then witness a recounting of her violent dive into the digiverse in the “Uncontainable” Character Short. Loveless is playable across all of Borderlands 4’s base game and DLC zones.
Bounty Pack 5: Amara and the Vile Shadows
Vault Hunters join Amara to investigate Phase disturbances potentially stemming from Vile Lictor’s old laboratory on Elpis, where Order Synths that once served him lie dormant. Completing the mission will unlock a Vault Hunter Skin usable by all Vault Hunters, a Vehicle, and an ECHO-4 Drone Skin. Players can also take on a new boss, two new mini-bosses, and new Vile enemy types to earn a new Pearlescent weapon and six pieces of Legendary loot.
Available to purchase separately from the narrative-focused content, Vault Card 5 lets players earn new space-age rewards through gameplay, with 24 cosmetic items and four pieces of rerollable gear to unlock.
