Don't panic, the new Borderlands 4 update's boss farming nerf was an accident and Gearbox is reversing it

Nerf day has arrived, but it's landed a little too strong. The long-awaited Borderlands 4 patch notes Gearbox has been promising for weeks are finally here, just in time for the Horrors of Kairos Halloween event. They're largely focused on dealing with some of the "unintended interactions" that were leading ludicrous damage scaling and boss-melting builds, although there are some buffs and performance improvements to be found. But Gearbox has already confirmed that one of the most disappointing changes, one halting the ability to speed-farm bosses for big loot drops, was unintentional and will be reversed.
