Borderlands 4 is in many ways the best entry in the series while also suffering from a ton of issues – both technically but also content-wise. Following a highly disappointing free Halloween event, Gearbox has made some alterations to its DLC plans – now making the first ‘Bounty Pack’ free for all to claim.
Making the announcement on their blog, the team at Gearbox wrote: “It's a Mercenary Day miracle! We’re making the first Bounty Pack for Borderlands 4 free for all players! And we’re just getting started.”
Going into more depth, the team confirmed that those who bought Borderlands 4’s Seasonal DLC will still receive the promised 4 paid packs, with a new 5th Bounty Pack being announced to replace the now-free offering.
In addition to this, the team offered some updates on their future endgame content plans, revealing that “we've started development on Takedown content that will be included in a free update for all players in 2026. In this Takedown, you can expect an extremely challenging gauntlet through a new area, including hordes of enemies and new boss encounters.”
As mentioned, Borderlands 4 has been a bit of a mixed bag so far. While the gameplay, world and overall RPG mechanics have seen substantial improvements, its endgame content; free updates and performance leave a lot to be desired – and so it is encouraging to see the team trying to make right by the fans. It will be interesting to see what this new 5th pack winds up featuring.
