The Version 1.7 update launches May 28, adding a dual boss fight and introducing UVHM Level 7 for advanced players.
Players who have completed the main campaign can challenge Subjugator and Thol for new loot, including a Pearlescent weapon, four Legendary items, five Class Mods, and a Firmware.
This update follows Version 1.6’s quality-of-life improvements and precedes further free and paid content, including a new Takedown raid and additional DLC packs scheduled for late June and Q3 2026.
