A new Borderlands 4 update has gone live, bringing a good load of buffs to all Vault Hunters (classes). All buffs, no nerfs, yet.
According to the patch notes, Amon has the biggest share of the buffs of the quartet, as the biggest, buffest Vault Hunter gets bigger numbers for his passives, capstones, augments and action skills. The smallest of buffs coincidentally falls to the smallest of the cast, Harlowe, with just a slight bump to make her Zero-Point action skill stronger.
On PC, the update also adds “auto-clearing of Borderlands 4 stale shaders on version update.” Stale shaders were the cause of performance degradations on some PCs, as some users reported that last week’s patch which supposed to improve performance only made the game run worse.
The update drops alongside the weekly refresh of endgame content: Maurice’s Black Market Vendor has moved carrying new stocks of legendaries, and New Weekly Wildcard Mission and Weekly Big Encore Boss are now available.
