Gearbox revealed what players can expect from Gorderlands 4 Endgame when it starts on September 12 for PS5, Xbox Series X | S and PC-A then on October 3 for Switch 2 also what falls to the pipe through the road map after starting.
When the players end the main story of Borderlands 4 and, presumably, they freed the Planet Kairos from its dictatorial management, the end game will continue the actions and progress in weekly missions of challenges, character specialization and the recurring Hunter Ultimate Vault mode.
Here’s how Gearbox describes this:
- Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode – Ultimate Vault Hunter mode was again imagined until his return. This difficulty option after the match will challenge players by five levels to unlock, which escalate difficulties. In addition, when applying conclusions drawn from previous franchise entries, this mode no longer requires restoration of the campaign to obtain modern ranks. Instead, players will rise up through selected challenges of missions, which make their selected construction tested, becoming harder through progress and removing the need for the same equipment.
- Systemic software – Each rank of Hunter Ultimate Vault mode includes exclusive firmware that is bonuses for the equipment that players will first experience during the campaign. The more software that the player purchases causes the higher Bonus Stat. These powerful firmware bonuses can be transferred once to another element in which the original element is destroyed and the software bonus cannot be moved again.
- Weekly wild cards – A lot of incentives have been provided to allow players to continue looking for the best loot: weekly ambiguous cards offer rotary missions with a guaranteed legendary prize. In the weekly boss of Big Encore Big Encore, Moxxi chooses one boss for a week, which can be unlocked with Eridium for greater iteration with an increased slope. The Maurice Black Market machine sends Cairos players in search of their loot, with various loot for each player’s game. Each of these activities is available to connect online by intentions, encouraging players to group with friends or find modern ones, whose interests are consistent.*
The road map for the “first months” of the game extends to Q1 2026, promising both free and paid content, of which the latter are divided into feature packaging and prize packages.
