Summary

  • June 25 brings Borderlands 4 Version 1.8, led by paid DLC Bounty Pack 3, the free Takedown at Hadron Abyss endgame raid, and cross-platform saves via SHiFT.
  • Bounty Pack 3 splits into two $5.99 purchases on Steam—story mission A Zane to Kill For and Vault Card 3 cosmetics—marking a new à la carte DLC model Gearbox plans to extend to later packs.
  • Hadron Abyss is pitched as the game's toughest content yet, ending with the Child of Terramorphous and adding Mayhem challenge tiers, a one-life Hardcore mode, 1 Pearlescent weapon and 9 Legendary gear pieces.
  • Cross-platform saves will let players continue progress across platforms they own, though SHiFT code rewards such as Golden Keys will stay tied to the platform where they were redeemed.
  • Gearbox also set the next roadmap beats: Bounty Pack 4 arrives July 30 with Version 1.9, while Story Pack 2 and new Vault Hunter Loveless the Hacker land in early September with Version 1.10.
