Borderlands 4 New Update on Sept. 18 Released for PC; Fixes Progression Issues and Improves Stability
To say that Borderlands 4 is suffering from performance issues is an understatement, as even with a performance patch released, PC gamers are still having a hard time playing the game smoothly.
Today, Gearbox has released a new Borderlands 4 update on Sept. 18 for PC, and this fixes issues related to gameplay and progression, as well as performance improvements too.
Borderlands 4’s New Update on Sept. 18 Fixes Gameplay, Progression Issues
Stability
- Addressed crashes tied to animation states, audio, and collision checks
- Addressed various GPU-related crashes
Gameplay & Progression
- Resolved an issue where the Reward Center could stop working after claiming the Gilded Glory Pack rewards
- Addressed a progression blocker in the mission “Talk to Zadra,” where the objective could fail if players exited and relaunched mid-dialogue
- Corrected “Doesn’t own DLC” warnings incorrectly showing up on non-DLC gear
- This will be fixed on consoles in the coming days.
Loot & Items
- Updated loot pools so Gilded Glory Pack guns no longer appear in standard chests
Alongside the patch, Gearbox has also outliend some of the weekly minor updates incoming for players.
Weekly Big Encore Boss
The Weekly Big Encore Boss is a tougher variant of an existing boss with an even more rewarding loot pool.
Weekly Wildcard Missions
Weekly Wildcard Missions add challenging new traits to an existing mission. These missions feature a guaranteed Legendary drop that you can repeatedly earn to get your ideal roll.
Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine
Go in search of where the Black Market Vending Machine has moved to and discover what’s available in your game every week. Remember, while the location is the same, your vending machine items are different from other players, so ask around to see if someone has the item you’re looking for!
For those wondering, there is no console patch as far as we’re aware (since we checked). Chances are, it’s still going through certification from Microsoft and Sony, which takes longer than pushing one out on PC.
Here’s to hoping more patches are released, lest Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford ticks off every Borderlands 4 player out there with his statements. For frame rate help on PC, check out this improvement settings guide, which a lot of gamers have confirmed works.
