Borderlands 4 Raid Boss 2 Content Update Due on May 28
The next major update for Borderlands 4 has been dated, and it’s set to drop on May 28 where the Raid boss 2 content will be released for all players for free.
The new Raid boss encounter is called Subjugator and Thol the Invincible, and this will be rolled out alongside patch 1.7, and as expected, players can expect new rewards.
Read on for the info on the Raid, as well as what rewards await Vault Hunters if they defeat this boss.
Borderlands 4 Next Major Update Due on May 28 to Bring Raid Boss 2
Subjugator and Thol the Invincible live in service to the Timekeeper, isolated on an island off the coast of the Fadefields where they await challengers. This encounter begins as a tag team battle against the hovering Subjugator and the hulking Thol. Once one is eliminated, the remaining boss will retreat to a distinct arena to reach full power in an ascended form, triggering a life-or-death duel.
Vault Hunters who manage to defeat this duo will have the chance to earn powerful new rewards:
- One New Pearlescent Weapon:
- Jail-Broken Gatling (Order SMG): For each hit on an enemy, gain a buff that increases fire rate, damage, weapon recoil, and the chance to fire additional projectiles.
- Four New Legendary Items:
- Lockjaw (Torgue Assault Rifle): Fires explosive projectiles that will bounce between multiple targets.
- Shammy Kablammy (Tediore Pistol): Douses enemies in hot Moonshine, then throws an explosive projectile when reloading that burns doused enemies with Incendiary damage, scaling with how many targets are lit ablaze.
- Flak Cannon (Vladof Heavy Weapon Ordnance): Shreds enemies with a hail of bullets.
- Collector (Order Shield): Weathers any storm with a huge capacity and a quick recharge rate, offset by a longer recharge delay.
- Five New Class Mods: A unique Class Mod will be available for each current Vault Hunter. A sixth Class Mod will be added to this loot pool in Q3 2026 when the next Vault Hunter arrives in Story Pack 2.
- New Firmware:
- Active Fire: At Tier 3, unleashing a charge weapon’s full-charge shot the moment it’s available will deal bonus damage, providing increased lethality as a reward for precision timing.
Existing Borderlands 4 players, just a reminder that you need to beat the main campaign first before they take on Subjugator and Thol the Invincible.
Patch 1.7 will also raise the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (UVHM) levels to 7, and this update also includes a community-requested Shared Character Progression toggle.
Once this patch is out, expect it here on MP1st.
