Borderlands 4 has received a new update on September 18, 2025, addressing several stability issues on PC while improving progression and loot systems. The patch fixes GPU-related crashes, corrects animation and audio-related errors, and resolves a mission blocker in “Talk to Zadra.” Updates also refine the Gilded Glory Pack rewards, ensuring they function correctly and no longer appear in standard loot chests.
Alongside technical fixes, the game continues its cycle of weekly content with a new Big Encore Boss, Wildcard Mission, and a fresh location for Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine. These rotating challenges bring exclusive loot opportunities and add replayability for players seeking powerful gear and legendary drops.
