Gearbox has just dropped a new update for Borderlands 4 on PC that targets some of the game's glaring issues, particularly related to the looter-shooter's stability.

Over on the game's official website, the team announced that this new patch "improves stability on PC, smooths out progression, and updates the Gilded Glory Pack loot and rewards for a more seamless experience." Gearbox specifically pointed to crashes around animations, audio, collision, and the GPU that should be resolved now.

The studio also addressed the loot and rewards around the Gilded Glory Pack, making it so that that gear no longer appears in standard chests, as well as fixing the Reward Center when claiming Gilded Glory Pack items. The Gilded Glory Pack is a preorder bonus that includes four pieces of legendary weapons and a cosmetic head.

This update comes after Borderlands 4, which had a successful Steam debut when it launched on September 12, saw a slew of criticism following the myriad issues the PC version faced. While the studio said addressing the complaints was a "top priority" for the team, Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford had some words for complainers.

Borderlands 4 is out now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version currently slated for October 3. You can check out the full patch notes for this latest Borderlands 4 update below:

Weekly Minor Updates:

Every week, we will see changes to which Weekly Big Encore Boss and Wildcard Mission is live! Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine is also on the move!

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!

You can read more on the weekly changes in our endgame overview post.

Change List:

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
