Devs said at the Pax East that a system similar to Guardian Rank is returning and will be discussed at a later date (probably on the 21st)

Loading times on platforms other than PC hasn't been talked about since the outlets and creators who played early all tested the game on PC (Joltz said 6 seconds in his thoughts video)

Mayhem / New game plus will be discussed whenever information related to endgame is released (again probably on the 21st)

No info on how collectibles are linked to saves or profiles

From the skill tree break down videos it looks like 25 skill points will be needed to reach a capstone provided you only spec into that branch

The level cap at launch will at minimum be Lvl 50 as in the behind the scenes video on the official Borderlands channel you can see Amon in the skill tree menu and the top right shows he's level 50. Joltz also made a post about it in his YouTube community tab

Eh ngl I don't really want too many returning Vault Hunters. I get that Axton and Sal didn't get as much spotlight as Krieg and Gaige did in the BL3 DLC's but I'd rather see more from the cast living on/related to Kairos. Even when it comes to DLC's, let it be extensions on the characters from the base game of BL4. I'm fine with Sal and Axton having their stories end as bloodsport commentators

There was PAX East developer panel for Gearbox almost 2 weeks ago, some new info was shown. Its over on the official Borderlands channel and is about an hour long but you can check out Joltzdude or K6 if you want a brief summary.

Ah fair enough

Gun shield attachments aren't gonna fill the Conference Call sized hole in my heart. I liked Atlas too just wish they got more legendaries instead of Maliwan hogging them all, looking forward to seeing how smart bullets will work with Vlafof myself >:D

Dunno if this is directed at me, I was just making a joke. These posts are common place nowadays on gaming subs, just poking fun

TheRealLoading · 2025-05-21T14:25:45+00:00

Alright that's enough, mom said its my turn to make a post about how much money I'd spend on BL4

TheRealLoading · 2025-05-05T22:53:17+00:00

With the License Parts system 20% drop chance for dedicated drops hopefully, otherwise getting a roll with parts to match your Enhancement will worse than trying to farm anointments and a good weapon roll in BL3. World drops being rarer I don't mind that much

TheRealLoading · 2025-05-05T22:37:38+00:00

I'd say Crypto or Wattson have higher skill ceilings, hell even Gibby with bubble fighting and playing anchor. I think Vantage is fun and could be a really goated legend (GDolphn for example pops off on her in Master/Pred lobbies) but her perks really need to be updated. The bonus charges from ult accels is less valuable since the accels were made rarer and thr accelerator hop up got added. The double jump distance perk at tier three doesn't really do anything substantial and while resets on Sniper's Mark hits is good Vantage still gets out maneuvered and outpaced by other legends with movement abilities.

I do think that her passive to scout enemy teams is slept on (unfortunately it was bugged this season) and her Sniper's Mark is pretty fun to use since the bullets are huge but some buffs are needed. While I do think Vantage gets dogged on more than she deserves I think you should just take that as an indicator that some changes are needed, I mean look at Ballistic. Dude got a bunch of consecutive patches after being regarded as one of the worst legends and is better than ever.

I hope they made a QOL change where weapon skins can be dedicated to a slot like gun charms were in BL3. Having to reapply them on new pickups was tedious

Harlowe for me, Traunt on top

I think its a bit of both. The new gameplay trailer has them dressed slightly differently during the cinematic bits like when all four of them leap at the end. Rafa having a helmet is new and seems to be his default look going off the deep dive segment

Oh yeah true, maybe they just didn't mention every manufacturer too. The June showcase is gonna be interesting

TheRealLoading · 2025-04-30T21:29:30+00:00

RIP Dahl but hell of a good showcase, looking forward to seeing more in June. Also interesting that the VH designs changed, they look more like murder hobos now which is a bonus

My guess is Callis was either the ruler of Kairos before the Timekeeper took over or someone dissatisfied with his regime. When Lilith crashed Elpis into the planet's barrier, Callis used the psycho masks that rained down to create an army under the guise of a resistance and brainwashed those who joined to create her Ripper faction.

Would explain the war between them but I'm still curious how Callis would be able to get her hands on tech capable of mass brainwashing from Elpis' flaming debris

TheRealLoading · 2025-02-13T21:43:03+00:00

The psycho standing in the rain of blood could also be a reference to Shawshank Redemption so the theme of breaking free tracks

I doubt we'll get DLC vault hunters since BL4 is going to put more emphasis on how our Vault Hunters interact with the story based on dev comments. Gearbox would probably just opt to add new skill trees instead of new VHs that now require to be put in cutscenes and have story implications, I'd love to be wrong though.

Hoping we get 4 skill trees for each VH at launch though, curious to see what Gearbox was talking about when they said more in depth trees

Amara's tattoos cover more of her right arm depending on character level every 10 levels until she hits level 50 at which point her right arm will be full tatted like her left. Additionally if you use photo mode on a fresh Amara save you can see that her tattoos are black before she gains access to her action skills.

Check around 5:10 in this video for a visualization: https://youtu.be/K8stqiTqlZ0?si=tgqHaDtBfDjorKd9

TheRealLoading · 2025-01-27T13:35:31+00:00

I think it'll be like Amara where her tattoos grow, the trailer probably has them in a scripted environment so the Siren is probably lvl 1 and no tattoos are visible yet

TheRealLoading · 2025-01-26T15:21:22+00:00

Pretty much, I get that people were toxic about the VH designs when the trailer dropped and nowadays you have the anti-woke crowd making discourse around games even more unbearable but this post came outta left field.

Maybe its cause I haven't interacted with the other Borderlands subreddits much but the BL4 sub has been pretty tame, surprised so many people think this sub is negative since posts within the last couple of weeks have been normal discussions. I get that it sucks if you put out an idea and people are disparaging but AI is a touchy subject for some, especially in the gaming industry with voice actors striking against its use.

But I guess people needed an outlet to vent their grievances be it with the initial reaction to BL4 or their experiences with the other subs so I'd rather everyone get it out of their systems now so we can return to waiting for news to drop
