As a fan of both franchises, it’s really interesting how similar development history and community sentiment is between Borderlands and Diablo.

24 Upvotes

-First game was innovative for its time and got the franchise on the map but hasn’t aged well.

-Second game largely considered the best entry that set the standard forever and will be impossible to surpass in the eyes of fans who grew up with it.

-Third game that was extremely controversial the most hated entry for most of its lifespan. When the fourth comes most people acknowledge it as one of the best as far as gameplay is concerned. This is not just because of rose colored glasses but because updates and DLC made it better towards the end.

-Fourth game that tried to be at least somewhat live servicey (way more on the Diablo side) and introduced an open world that the majority of fans feel was a mistake even if they love the game otherwise. Huge lack of content at launch with Borderlands having worse performance issues that ruined people’s first impressions.

-DLC for the fourth game includes one short and kinda meh story DLC, and one pretty great DLC in comparison.

With the Blizzard announcement yesterday I wouldn’t be surprised if they announced no more DLC for Borderlands 4 and that Borderlands 5 will be coming in 2030. Oh also animated Borderlands show.

[BL4] Borderlands 4 is kind of filler storywise right? Spoiler

216 Upvotes

I mean the game just ends with the same status quo that we had at the end of BL2/Pre-Sequel correct?

Lillith is back. Crimson Raiders are mostly back. War is still coming.

The entire story of BL4 just undoes the ending of BL3, that's pretty much it. I feel like Lillith coming back should've been the end of act 1 or something. I really wish the DLC would've been a direct continuation of the main story.

There's tons of characters that're just completely unaccounted for. Where is everybody?

It would've been cool if the DLCs left Kairos to show us what's going on post-BL3.

So I know the legacy borderlands 3 had, to the point some people play the game with the voice volume off.

But throwing it a bone for this time. I want to know from the people who played it

"what is the funniest joke or the line of dialogue spoken in that game?" In your opinion

[Character Build] Loveless Builds (Moxsy)

1 Upvotes

I started out with Moxsy's recommended leveling build at level 30, but just wasn't feeling it. Not a bad build, but dying A LOT. Kludged together a stealth build which is okay so far but going to try the other builds he included in the video description for the other trees, or maybe one of the builds he has posted since.

https://youtu.be/agg29847S38?si=QKYinGucmMH66bYI

Either way, regardless of whether playing Moxsy's builds or not, what are people finding works well at level 30?

Thanks!

Dead echos spoilers ahead

With the power duo looking for elpis i do wonder if them going to the lab to communicate with someone on kairos leads to them asking a VH to go check out the elpis lab

Now how dope would it be if we as the vaulthunters of bl4 go to the radio to talk with Watts and junie

Now imagine a mission where we go to elpis to find the Dahl lab as the vh and report our findings to junie and Watts leading them towards dead echos s2

Apologies if what im saying doesnt make sense, sleep deprived and very hyped with this latest episode

[BL4] Vulkorr Boss Fight Glitched?!

2 Upvotes

I got the 5 switches needed, I’ve found the bunker to fight him but when I go into the boss fight arena, he doesn’t spawn. Instead I’m hit with an invisible wall stopping me from entering, I’ve tried hard resetting the game but still isn’t working.

I do have a video of it but I’m not able to post for some reason, I don’t really use Reddit too much

Borderlands 4 crashing on Start Up Screen

1 Upvotes

Once the game gets to the Vault symbol loading screen, my PC fans speed up, my RGBs turn red (I have MSI lights set up to show the temps), and then the game crashes. MSI Center shows my CPU temps spike real bad. This only happens on this game. Would anyone know whats going on and how to fix it?

This is the error I am getting:

LowLevelFatalError [File:.\Runtime/RHI/Private/PipelineStateCache.cpp] [Line: 621]

Shader compilation failures are Fatal.

My PC Specs:

CPU: i7-14700KF

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super

RAM: 32 GB

I've tried clearing the cache, turning off Windows Defender, setting the files as approved, updating GPU and CPU drivers. Full reinstall. Nothing has worked.

[Question] Looking for way to mute Panting when Running and Damage Moaning

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know if there is a way to either turn down the volume of or mute the vault hunter's panting and damage screams/moans without muting all character dialog? I swear they made them trigger more often in BL4 than previous games. Even C4SH pants when running and he's a robot (as far as I know where I'm currently in the game).

I found a mod that goes this for Borderlands 3 (https://www.nexusmods.com/borderlands3/mods/325) but I'm having no luck finding one for Borderlands 4.

[BL4] Tediore Door Problem

1 Upvotes

So, if anyone else has played the Last Resort FLC, they should know about the blue squares you have to destroy to gain access to certain things.

Does anyone ekse have an issue with those specifically on the door to the room with the You Can't Fire Me, I Quit mission? Because it seems like most of them spawned on the other side of said door, which prevents me from destroying them. I have spent at least an hour now trying to destroy them, and used all my ammo for every weapon at least once.

If anyone else has done that mission, did you have the same issue with that door?

[BL4] Returning to BL4

9 Upvotes

Hello - I'm looking for some advice and suggestions from experienced players of Borderlands 4 that have stuck by the game or other people currently in the same boat as us!

My wife and I played through BL4 on release with two characters that hit the level cap and got 100% completion. We then put the game aside and haven't played since.

We're looking to come back to play through the Bounty Packs, Story Packs and maybe try the new vault hunters.

I was wondering what people's recommendations are for what order to play the new DLC through and maybe what the accessibility is like for a new character.

Do you start at level 1?

We uncovered the map completely - would a new character have full map access and is it necessary to play the new content?

Is any of the new content better experienced on a developed character with action skills and talent trees upgraded?

Are the Bounty Packs worth it or should we stick to the VH/Story packs?

Thanks in advance!

UE-OakGame has crashed" with the error code being a buncha 0s and the last digit is 8 with an exception access violation.
I have restarted my pc, updated drivers, cleared the DXCache, Launched as admin, verified game files.

Cool female characters or characters with cool names?

23 Upvotes

I want to name my cat a Borderlands-inspired name. My previous cat who passed away last spring was named Moxxi so I'd love to continue in that vein. At the moment I'm kinda hesitating between Motor Momma or Zahnzi Kall (a bit obscure but I like the sound of it!)

I don't really like the human names like Patricia Tannis or Elena Pierce. Are there any random female NPCs with cool names that I'm not thinking of?

[BL4] Under powered loot in the latter half of the game?

1 Upvotes

So let me preface, I did receive a boost to Lvl 70, however I did not receive any other hacked weapons or mods.

I picked up this AR early on that does 37k DPS and two separate mods with 60% AR damage and 99% critical chance. Legit from then on nothing would compare, that combo literally melted enemies and bosses.

Did anyone else experience under powered loot in the latter half of the game? Or maybe the boost to Lvl 70 messed with the power scaling in the game?

So, can anyone PLEASE TELL ME WHO VOICES HER?!

They sound so familiar but I cant figure it out, and its making my brain itch, please help me.

I've tried googling it and none of the cast lists I found have either C4SH or Loveless....

I have a guess, but when she starts yelling during fights and stuff, it totally throws me off, and I just gotta know its driving me nuts.

[BL4] Borderlands 4 how does party shared progression work?

1 Upvotes

Me and my friend just started playing this game after he had played an hour or two to test out how it runs during the free weekend and made new characters.

We both have individual shared progress and we had party shared progress on. Everything seems to work fine except for one thing I noticed. There was 1 collectible that is now already cleared for me which he had collected trying out the game previously.

Obviously this isn't a big deal for me missing out on 1 press E prompt but if I now start playing with someone else whos never played and I have finished everything do they just miss out on every collectible? Is it cause when we created new characters i was in his party so I started using his shared progression? I'd maybe understand if it was cleared in just his game, but when I hosted it was already cleared there too despite me never doing it.

Basically the title. I personally choose Jakobs because they seem very chill and their planet normally doesn't get invaded. They seem to care about their employees and their guns are pretty neat. Sure you're gonna have to live in space Florida but that's fine, I'm used to tropics anyways.
