Borderlands 4’s Worst Character Sucks Much less After Right this moment’s Replace

A brand new replace for Borderlands 4 is obtainable now on all platforms, and after putting in it you’ll uncover that all the sport’s playable vault hunters are actually stronger. However one particularly, Amon, is way, way more highly effective after the patch, which is nice as a result of many (myself included) thought of him to be the worst and weakest of the bunch.

Borderlands 4 launched final month to principally constructive evaluations and large numbers on Steam. I actually like the sport and its chaotic mixture of looting and taking pictures, even if performance issues have been a problem over the last few weeks. However efficiency has improved steadily with the last few patches, and now Gearbox is focusing on stability tweaks. However don’t fear, the studio isn’t nerfing something but. As an alternative, the newest patch for the open-world FPS is all about buffing the vault hunters. And Amon, a big house warrior, got the most buffs following complaints that he wasn’t much fun to play and didn’t really feel as thrilling throughout firefights as different characters.

On October 2, Gearbox pushed out a new patch for Borderlands 4 that’s targeted solely on enhancing every of the sport’s 4 vault hunters. After the replace, Harlowe does extra stasis slam injury, Rafa’s APOPHIS Lance ability is deadlier, and the Siren Vex acquired some buffs to make a few of her builds extra viable. However it’s Amon who acquired essentially the most tweaks by far, with the brand new patch notes itemizing 60+ buffs. Yowza! And a few of these are enormous, with one buff to “Massive Forgewave Damage” being listed as a 100-percent improve!

Whereas it might sound drastic, Amon really wanted these buffs. I’ve now performed as Rafa, Vex, and Amon in Borderlands 4, and by far essentially the most boring and weakest was the massive, tanky Amon. It typically felt like I used to be tossing factors into his ability tree with out ever feeling the results. Hopefully, these buffs assist his package really feel extra thrilling and efficient to make use of throughout fight encounters.

Anyway, listed below are the complete Borderlands 4 patch notes as shared by Gearbox on Thursday:
