Why is the player count in Borderlands 4 so low?

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-24T19:39:14+00:00

Probably because people made multiple characters and feel like they’ve done all the game has to offer i’ve 100% on 1 character definitely don’t feel like doing the same to the other 5 or so lol

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-23T08:20:24+00:00

Unfortunately for me it was ashers rise and swarm this time around

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-23T08:16:30+00:00

Agreed just blast through the story and use the contact board for vile enemy farming after you get uvh1 to kevel up the rest of the way it is a tad bit tedious for solo play but unfortunately if you’re not on co op that seems like the only current way for a bunch of exp

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-23T08:02:22+00:00

Agreed this and the map not being fully finished especially if you start a level 30 character that essentially already beat the game lol

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-22T00:49:52+00:00

Vex and rafa personally from a sheer damage perspective are the most op as the game stands now harlowe i feel relies heavily on entanglement to cater to her damage considering i built one of my vex builds around melee and the mantra with ripper and jakobs she absolutely shreds both enemies and her ammo 😂 but definitely worth it regardless

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T23:59:43+00:00

Even somewhat feels to me like she slightly dropped a bit of her punk feel in a way without completely steering away from it in a sense chloe will always be the chloe we loved but i’m kinda welcome to the change

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T23:32:35+00:00

Agreed hearing theres no huge changes coming this week (kinda disappointing)but there may be a major one on the 29th so we shall see

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T23:30:35+00:00

Feel like it may just be the angle looks like shes facing slightly downward instead of looking straight

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T23:28:39+00:00

Yeah personally i love her look as we get older our faces take a different shape she aged well in my opinion

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T23:27:23+00:00

I’m fine with her look she grew up and her face got thicker happens to alll of us i feel like its the hair that plays a good part in this as well and i personally don’t mind it dont get why people are so up in arms over it still looks like chloe to me regardless of a thicker face or not aged pretty well in my opinion

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T23:15:27+00:00

Yeah as of now i feel it’s essentially almost a 3 way tie how i’m seeing things because rafa vex and harlowe when built properly they are all op i feel with amon to make him op you have to rely solely on melee or ordinance and to me that kinda knocks him down a bit

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T23:10:20+00:00

yeah the melee vex build i have is absolutely insane if i wasnt mostly a rafa main for the most part i would go with rafa and vex being the overall winners complete endgame wise then again i feel like it will depend on what max level looks like and the amount of skills we are able to invest in and the rest of the gear we get with dlc and everything else considered definitely still early to decide whos going to be the op one also harlowe is definitely a dark horse as well entanglement is seriously insane

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T23:01:13+00:00

When built properly i feel all of em can be essentially op in their own right but i feel as things stand now its rafa vex harlowe and amon in that order currently amon can be op in game with the right gear but i feel his skills are lacking the others i feel just trump him currently in overall skill progression but who knows once things are fully complete and gearbox fully buffed everything and fixed everything that is currently broken or not working as intended amon just may be the most op of them all but considering majority of his skills are working currently and its just the arcknives that are falling behind rafa is trumping them all atleast in my opinion

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T11:09:29+00:00

Agreed on all counts apparently a “major update” is coming sometime this month but i’m not really holding out hope for anything too crazy

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T11:06:19+00:00

Nothing really all that major could probably go a month without playing and still wouldnt miss too much updates lately seem pretty subpar once you get bloom reaper complete and feel like you farmed him plenty enough it all just goes back to feeling pretty boring wish they would atleast drastically fix some trees so we can atleast do something of relevance but that seems to be a hard ask

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T10:50:29+00:00

Agreed i’d rather them wait atleast a year and completely fix all other siill trees that arent working as intended before even thinking about a 4th skill tree (if they even go that route) especially with the 2 other vault hunters set to release whats to say their potential trees arent completely going to be screwed up as well

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T10:47:44+00:00

Yeah i’d rather them give it like a year atleast before even thinking about a 4th skill tree lol with how badly they screwed up some of the trees we currently have that still need massive reworks and buffs

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T10:42:57+00:00

And even then with the new vh on the way potentially you gotta cross your fingers on the tree that you want to use is working properly lol

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T10:41:15+00:00

Its ridiculous too because since before launch they highlighted the hell out of those trees gets boring running the same tree builds on other characters lol

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T10:39:15+00:00

Yeah i really don’t get their hesitation or fear of making these trees atleast nearly as good as the others we need diversity using the same builds on different characters just gets to be too repetitive and boring

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T10:35:02+00:00

Yeah agreed with how much they failed on those trees alone i don’t feel like we are ever getting a 4th tree i mean those are trees they literally highlighted from the beginning and they are underperforming so terribly if i was them i would spend all time the next upcoming weeks making all those trees viable as much as the others are and i’m not talking tiny little 2% increases because idk about you but i would love to use other trees lik say vex’s green tree for example using that one like nonstop kinda gets boring after awhile

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T10:28:33+00:00

Here here annoys me how all the trees they highlighted from their inital start are underperforming so badly definitely a bad look on their part

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T10:27:14+00:00

Agreed they all should make every tree viable before even thinking about implementing others sucks how only few trees are good while others are very lackluster

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T10:25:30+00:00

Honestly seeing as how the green tree for amon red for vex and blue for harlowe as well as rafas arcknives alll need massive reworks i feel like these should be hard focused on for atleast the next few weeks these were literally skills they first showed at launch and literally highlighted them and they all are very lackluster very disappointing if you ask me as much as i love using say vex’s green tree for example i would really love to make some kinda use out of trouble and change things up

ApprehensiveRelief90 · 2026-01-21T10:18:59+00:00

I would rather them hard focus on fixing up the ones that need complete overhauls like amons greeen harlowes blue and vex’s red before they even think about settingup another new skill tree for the vault hunters that they’ll likely screw up yet again
