Borderlands® 4 News

Psst, Borderlands 4 has a pretty broken infinite damage build, and it may soon go the way of the dodo

Be very, very quiet. Yes, I know this is being yelled from a page on a video game website that at least five people have heard of, so it's hardly hush-hush, but if Randy keeps shouting unhinged things at people about PC specs, I think we might slip under the radar.

There's a Borderlands 4 build. It's a bit broken, and can reportedly down bosses in a click of your fingers by doing a craptonne of damage. I am telling you this information now.

And that's without mentioning the absolutely diabolical movie, which currently sits at a harrowing 10% on Rotten Tomatoes. Ouch. At first glance, however, Borderlands 4 looked like it could be the turning point for Gearbox's looter shooter franchise, but as players have poured in and began to explore Kairos, they've encountered myriad performance issues, hence the 67% rating on Steam.
