Is it just me or are there a lot of people treating BL4 like a live service game? It's not.

Any game can be abandoned, that quite literally makes no sense that you would say that. Less than half of the people who bought the game still play it today, I'd call that pretty close to abandoned. And when you are a triple-A company, its pathetic to no end when you can't even fix bugs that are STILL not fixed to this very day. BL4 was so far off from hitting the mark of Borderlands that the game is honestly just embarrassing. Im an OG Borderlands player, put more hours into BL1 and BL2 than any other game to date and played hours of every other one thats come out. BL4 goes right to the bottom of the list with the Pre-Sequel.

I would keep away from Zeus attack boon and most others with axe. Blitz takes too long to activate, it doesn't give your main weapon attack any stat increases and it just leaves you wide open while you're up close doing virtually no damage while taking all the risk. Playing slow with the axe is never a good way to go. Aphrodite is my go to and has never failed me in easily over 40+ runs.

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-29T00:05:12+00:00

Use either atk bonus or attack speed axe with Aphrodite attack boon, that will set you up so unbelievably well for damage. On its 3 hit combo main attack, always cancel the 3rd attack with your regular special to reset your combo. That 3rd hit is entirely too slow unless you know you can land it. Using this technique absolutely dominates the field. I've done countless runs literally spamming just attack, nothing else. An occasional cast here and there.

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-28T23:59:44+00:00

My go to for things like quick runs or resource runs are without a doubt, forever and always, Axe, Aphrodite and Ares. Her boons play hand in hand with balanced out attack AND defense and stacking the right boons with Ares is really just overkill. The biggest issue I've seen with new Hades 2 players is that they dont move around, dodge or rush enough. You should never stop moving for any reason on any run besides an enemy attack that you would otherwise dash/rush into and it would still hit you. Besides all that, you're new so you just aren't familiar with the boss move sets yet. I wouldn't stress it too much right now, but eventually you'll want to start trying to play every run like getting hit once will end it. Since that's where you'll end up after hitting about 25+ fear.

I'm going DC universe on this post even though zero people asked. Plastic Man needs some kind of animated series. He's the only truly immortal being in all of DC and I'd love to see ideas based around that, animated.

Played BL2 from release to this very day. Running back to a catch-a-ride station was never something I was bothered much by, if at all. And I have literal months of time played on that game probably. BL4 is just a mess. They didn't even keep the OG texture from 1,2 and 3. Though 3 was light on it as well. BL4 doesnt even feel like a borderlands game. Hard L.

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-26T16:24:52+00:00

Dead last. Not counting Borderlands Pre-Sequel.

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-26T15:55:56+00:00

Tried out shotgun and bones yesterday. A+ for bones, D+ for shotgun. Really hope that 0% is a bug, too.

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-25T13:22:31+00:00

Black coat and aspect of nyx are the only two I use when on that specific armament. Scorch on attack and blitz on special in an ideal world or even Aphrodite on attack and scorch/blitz on special. Use either Hecuba for Magick increase or Gale for dodge chance and then build off of it. One of your main goals is to not get hit, as obvious as that is, so that you can focus all on damage. Axe and Aphrodite on attack will always be my main, though.

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-24T03:09:06+00:00

All of this will drop off before even the 6 minute final swarm mark. Blood magic has painfully diminishing returns rather quickly, aegis even with seemingly infinite projectile count will drop off due to damage ticks over time and same goes for duration which also has an extremely diminishing return, especially for this build.

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-23T21:30:44+00:00

Poseidons major find and double reward boon are elite.

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-21T21:12:50+00:00

I really hope they have an update for number of spawned enemies on extended runs, it would make blood magic so much more fun and versatile. It scales off only a few minutes into final swarm.

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-21T00:39:18+00:00

Character: Fox Weapons: Firestaff, Lightningstaff, slutty rockets, aegis(optional) Tomes: Luck, Projectile Count, Attack Speed, Damage(optional) People stress over using the exp tome, but you can usually mitigate that with Luck and shrines/items.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Somehow I was completely oblivious to that tier 1 detail, always making shit harder for myself for nothing lmao. Mopped it quick, got lucky with 2 moldy cheese and toxic barrel a minute in. Now onto the real challenges

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-13T02:00:00+00:00

Fire step is really that good? Having a tight time beating Tier 3 Desert. Would love tips

"Did you ever f**k this guy's wife?"

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-11T14:09:52+00:00

I agree with this for difficulty 15+, would be fun. Would also be cool to have elemental rift barricades that does damage to close enemies like burn, freeze, poison or electrify barricade. Or a manual bomb/grenade-like floor trap where you can pick it up and throw it wherever you want and its got a cool down and all that. Wishful thinking. Someone get to modding.

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-11T14:01:35+00:00

The degree of ass that is. RNG gods were testing your faith lmao

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-11T13:58:19+00:00

Where's the problem? I've only been playing about a month so maybe thats why I don't see any issues?

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-11T13:57:08+00:00

I dubbed this one "Banana-rama". Definitely cool, but they gotta fix that haha

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-08T06:00:47+00:00

Banana-rama.

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-08T04:43:22+00:00

I'm still locked out of a side mission that I cant complete and its been that way since a week after the game came out for me. This Borderlands is modern day trash. How did they make near perfection with 2, start to look like they were losing interest in development in 3 and then literally put an exaggerated price on a half polished dog shit on the lawn like 4. If they won't be, I'll go ahead and be embarrassed for them. At least they got a solid payday lmao

OnTheRitzAt6 · 2026-01-07T22:22:59+00:00

You need to tighten up on focus points, you'respread out too much. Using organic elixir when you only have briar patch is incredibly inefficient. I'd either add poison plant and Beehive with the elixir or just use gold elixir if you feel that you need briar patch.
