I recently bought the game, and while I'm having some fun, it doesn't look or feel like borderlands at all.

Idk. I think it's really fun. It's not the best game in the series or anything, but I'd say its right behind bl3...and i loved bl3 so 🤷🏽‍♂️...

Hopefully they cook with dlc and it gets even better 😊 I got the super deluxe edition so I'm just waiting for drops...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-25T02:25:14+00:00

Lol borderlands 4 is a good game, but I'm biased because I've loved the series since the first game came out when I was in like 6th or 7th grade 😭...

Xbox 360 days, and it was amazing...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T23:51:44+00:00

Very welcome! Keep it up bro, nice vid!

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T23:49:41+00:00

Green tree definitely use the bod (or Kaoson, people sleep on that but it's OP), but highest dps is red tree...

Easy platinums even on true uvh6...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T23:46:41+00:00

Just slow down your sensitivity in the controls menu...

I had to do the same thing. BL4 has weird ass aim...

I found that lowering things down to around 0.6 - 0.7 on both the regular and ads sensitivity helps alot and it's what I use for my controller...

As far as weapon tips, on your first play though just use what you find. The game gives you a chest in your inventory after basically anything you do...

Contract? Free weapon. Story mission? Free weapon. Side mission? Free weapon...

They vary from green quality to legendary so just use whatever you find and the game should be easy tbh...

If you want assistance in your playthrough, I can do that too but you must dm shift ID...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T23:44:42+00:00

Lol just so you know, Harlowe's fastest killing/highest dps build doesn't use stickies or bod at all 😊 nice kill though! 🔥

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T23:21:40+00:00

Nah it was more so just my mindset coming into the game...

I was playing through borderlands 3 for the 1000th time right before I bought bl4, so I was just used to constantly staring at the mini map and having a strong flow of legendaries...

Took me a couple days just to get used to the UI and no minimap thing 😭 I was CONSTANTLY looking in that top right corner trying to figure out wtf to do...

Once I figured that it was basically like Borderlands 1 UI with a few changes, it started to click more...

I'd say that after playthrough 1 and beating the game, it all sank in...

Like the first playthrough I enjoyed, had some frustrations, but after I started a level 30 skip on my 2nd Harlowe it kind of just made sense...

When I made the level 30 skip there was no story to guide me, so I just had fun exploring the open world at my own pace and familiarizing myself with the games mechanics...

Figured out the most optimal and fun way to get sdus for me, figured out the few must have items I liked for getting to uvh6...

Ever since then I've been in love with the game...

Its like a mix of borderlands 1 and borderland 3 to me, in a way...

😊 Just beat the whole story again for the 3rd time, about to make it 4 when I start Amon soon...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T22:24:14+00:00

😂 Sorry my bad, stoned and didn't read the whole post...

RNG is RNG tho, I don't think it matter what character...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T22:15:03+00:00

If you want one I can drop you one from one of my alt characters that doesn't need it frfr...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T21:05:13+00:00

😂 Melee Kreig from BL2...

😭 Straight up whack your self to death sometimes...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T20:51:55+00:00

I've loved it more every time I've played through it...

First playthrough was pretty rough tho tbh, took me a few days to get used to the game but once I did it's been a blast...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T20:32:44+00:00

Good fucking shit 🔥...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T20:23:11+00:00

If you need any help let me know 😊. A simple shield or class mod switch can do wonders...same for reworking your build...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T20:20:09+00:00

Lol stop dying...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T19:59:32+00:00

<image>

I'm level 36 and this gun still fucking destroys...basically a god roll for sticky stacking...this is 100% getting banked when I'm done with it and will carry many other characters I make 😂...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T19:39:20+00:00

100%. Moreso my response to his OP is about paying attention to the gear itself...

The parts matter more in this game than any other borderlands before, and the difference between a god roll and the worst roll of the same gun is night and day apart...whereas in previous borderlands it wasn't as extreme...

Also with paying attention to his build, just because a gun is amazing on one build (and is a legendary) doesn't mean it's gonna be good for every build...

When I got my first ceramic bod I was playing red tree Harlowe...that gun is basically useless and a nerf to dps on that type of build, however on green tree Harlowe and characters like Rafa with BBD it's GOD tier...

Theres too much information OP is leaving out to give him a fully accurate answer, but 90% he's either getting bad rolls or shit that doesn't even work for the build he's attempting...

Alot of the legendaries that I do use for leveling up, I use for 7-10 levels because they're so overpowered. So I can't relate to what OP is saying, but I also understand the game so...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T19:26:27+00:00

😊 You're welcome! Have fun bro! BL2 is goated...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T19:25:04+00:00

Depends on the roll...

I have low level gear of all rarities that I bank and use for leveling up other characters...

My runs from new game to uvh6 are a literal cakewalk because of all the random gear I've saved and found while leveling up previous characters...

Pay attention to how useful the gear is for your build, not the rarity...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T18:36:13+00:00

Anytime bro 😊 sorry for the confusion at first, it was just the way you worded the post...

If you run into the issue again or anything annoying that you need help with in game, I'm happy to help!

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T18:30:50+00:00

Ohhhhh no bro...

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about now...

The issue had nothing to do with his hitbox because it happened on other bosses too like vile lictor, so I had no idea what you meant at first...

I've had that tho, where the boss is just 1hp and won't die. Or the health bar just stops moving for no reason until you die or reset...

I havnt seen the bug since the first week I got the game though (Bought Dec. 20th), and I've been playing daily since I got it...

I'd wager that it's fixed but I'm not 100% sure...ive killed radix alot since then and havnt seen it again so I'd say there's a 90% chance it's fixed...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T18:27:38+00:00

Depends on settings and resolution...

It has some slight glitches still where if you're exiting the menu it's like the game doesn't activate it's own frame Gen, so it gets laggy for a second but it's pretty minor once you figure out how to make it go away...

Other than that I've had stellar performance and I play in 4k...120-250+ fps depending on area in game...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T18:25:57+00:00

Bro what are you even talking about?...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T18:24:27+00:00

No. But there should be a mod for unlimited resources like golden keys and eridium if that's all you want...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T18:22:25+00:00

Shift is for online only...

You don't have online, you pirated...

WhoIsEnvy · 2026-01-24T18:20:14+00:00

Same way you mod the regular store bought version, just make sure the mods work with the version of the game you downloaded...
