r/Borderlands4

There is lots to be said, many valid criticisms but that's not what this discussion is for, I wanna know the things you guys like. Personally I really enjoy the part system and how the under barrel attachments and alternate firing modes are actually good and usable, Im really happy they made that change. Borderlands 3 is easily the best Borderlands game to me personally but there are two things I would change if I could, make cross manufacturer parts a thing like 2, TPS and 4 (but more like 4) and make the under barrel attachments and alternate fire modes not suck apart from some niche circumstances.

Im just happy that loot is exciting again in 4, so many more guns are viable and it's a lot of fun to try out the different combos. And Borderlands 3 Maliwan guns were just not fun for a lot of people and like The Order guns in BL4 except you can find parts that make it more functional or more preferable.

I’ve beaten the mission from Lilith probably 5 times and I can never progress to uvhm2. What am I doing wrong? I go to Moxxy’s, accept the mission, complete the mission immediately, then what?

My C4SH is UVH 2 and going for UVH 3. I killed the bosses I need to on UVH 2, and then talked to Lilith and started the wildcard mission for UVH 3 - His Vile Sanctum.

All went well up until the fight with Lictor at the end. I used the jump pad to get into his lair (as many times before), the introduction cinematic played, and then the fight started. Except that Lictor never showed up...

I was all alone on the platform. I ran around for a while, and even tried tossing grenades and shooting blindly into the abyss around me, but no Lictor. And that of course meant that I also had no way out of there.

This has happened once before when I was farming Lictor. That time I just re-logged and spawned outside the lair - perfect. But when I re-logged this time it ended the wildcard mission (not surprisingly) and I spawned back at Moxxi's bar.

I decided to give it another try, so I talked to Lilith again and repeated the whole thing. When I finally got to Lictor's lair it was the same thing again - no Lictor to fight.

I should mention that I have done this with four vault hunters before with no problem.

Is this a known bug? Is there some kind of workaround?

(Got a warning that my post "might not be about Borderlands 4" so I thought I should mention that too 😊)

I’m running a Damned class mod Amon build and trying to farm a legendary jakobs enhancement! I can practically one-shot bloomreaper, but the crystal phase keeps messing me up. I run 3 on the one-shot specialisation to pierce the crystals, and I’m using a commando right now, for the splash trails, but it seems inconsistent. Any recommendations for guns to get this phase more consistent?

Picking the game up for the first time since October and looking forward to starting a new character, hit with the lengthy shader compilation (running an i7 9700k so it takes a while) and a forced restart for the latest update, just for it to relaunch and have to compile shaders again.

I love this game and the fps was never too much of an issue for me even at launch (except shader compilation stutter funnily enough) but my god I hate UE5.

Update: since starting my new character (in the prologue) I have paused the game twice and compiled more shaders each time after more shader compilation at the character select screen, my god.

I am not sure what is going on, and I’m a little mad about it. I was gifted this game, and I truly was having a great time with it. I defeated the first big boss, got three pieces of legendary gear, and all three had a red lock on the label and said I couldn't use it since I didn’t own the DLC. Thinking this wasn’t the case, I closed the game, restarted, and nope those weapons were still unusable. Sold those, kept playing, and then next four legendary weapons that drop for me are all locked because I don’t own the dlc. Is this a glitch? I don’t understand how this is possible. I have not touched the game since the last gear dropped for me. I understand that promoting dlc is great and all, but locking weapons is not a great practice for looter shooters. Can I even fix this issue?

i've been farming roulette, bod, and fireworks shield. idk what the god rolls on them are or what i should aiming for either! i'm level 43 right now.

For context:
I’m currently level 34. I skipped all side quests because I heard they’re better done after main campaign?

I have all the dlc and haven’t touched them.

I have uvhm 1 unlocked and I see I can do some ultimate vault hunter quests to unlock more?

I have collected 3 key fragments and only upgraded my pack once..
—————
My goal right now is to do all the uvhm quests, then do vault keys and unlock em all.. what then? Do I go do side quests and level up specialisation and character level? Do I do dlcs and level up like this? Is it better to get higher level first and better umvh mode for better loot?

Any recommendations?
