Borderlands 4 Money

Vault Hunters, it is time to return to Kairos and dive into another round of chaotic battles. The September 10 Borderlands 4 Version 1.10 update brings a massive amount of new content.

Overall, this update includes Story Pack 2, Bounty Pack 5, Vault Card 5, and a Level Cap increase. Let's take a look at the new content introduced with Story Pack 2 and Bounty Pack 5.

Story Pack 2: FL4K and the Last Resort

One of the biggest highlights of Story Pack 2 is the return of FL4K from Borderlands 3. As the Beastmaster from the previous game, FL4K was one of the playable Vault Hunters.

The new generation of Vault Hunters will fight alongside FL4K while hunting down Tediore forces. Tediore army is invading the area and bringing several new enemy types with them.

The battles take place on the tropical island of Providence. According to the developers, Providence Island was once a resort on Kairos where the elite would go for vacations.

However, following the events of Borderlands 4 and the planetary impact, the resort was abandoned. It is now overgrown with vegetation, giving it a slight Wam Bam Island feel, while also incorporating technology from The Order and remaining occupied by Tediore.

In terms of the story, FL4K's pet and companion, Mr. Chew, has been captured by Tediore Corporation. FL4K needs the players' help to rescue him. As a result, players will fight alongside FL4K against Tediore forces across the resort island.

New Vault Hunter: Loveless the Hacker

Loveless is an extremely cool Black River, or rather, a more advanced lifeform. She has achieved a symbiotic fusion of biological and digital existence, equipped with advanced cybernetics and sharing a psyche with the digital virus she created. This virus can transform into a physical worm form, becoming her most devastating offensive weapon.

Loveless uses cybernetic weapons to deal Corrosive and Radiation damage. She can throw Plague Star Shuriken, which cuts through groups of enemies and spreads Contagion;

She can also use the visual paradox nexus to create stealthy misdirection, turning herself invisible and generating a Decoy. She can also unleash a Malignant Construct and command her symbiotic worm companion to eliminate targets with Tail Whip and Toxic Breath.

Her Action Skill also gains additional variations through low-cooldown Functions and high-impact Executables. Her Character Trait is called Ram.

RAM

Loveless' Character Trait, Ram, revolves around Critical Hits and Status Effects. Critical Hits or Status Effects fill her Ram meter.

When Ram meter is full, her Melee attacks become empowered, dealing significantly increased damage while consuming all of the stored Ram. At the same time, her gun damage increases based on how full Ram meter is. If she does not gain any Ram for a while, the meter will gradually decay.

New Weapons

Story Pack 2 has currently been confirmed to add a considerable number of new weapons. The official information states that it includes 2 new Pearlescent weapons and 18 pieces of Legendary Gear. Note that this does not mean all 18 pieces are guns.

The Legendary weapons currently known include:

Bounty Pack 5: Amara and the Vile Shadows

Story

In addition to Story Pack 2, Bounty Pack 5 also introduces a new story and new weapons. This story is connected to witches, which have always been one of the biggest mysteries in Borderlands.

Following the main events of Borderlands 4, the arrival of the moon Elpis has brought massive changes to Kairos. The planet is now facing not only external threats, but also a much more serious problem that has begun to emerge.

The arrival of the moon has permanently changed Kairos, and the planet is now showing signs of severe abnormalities. Phase disturbances are spreading across the globe.

These are not merely ordinary witch-related anomalies. If left unchecked, they could unravel the known universe. So yes, this is a serious problem.

Players will return to Elpis and once again enter the Phase dimension. It may finally explain what Phase dimension is, how witches are connected to it, and why the phase disturbances are occurring. Even though it is technically only a Bounty Pack, it could contain some fairly important lore.

Enemies and Loot

Bounty Pack 5 adds one new Boss, two new Mini-Bosses, and new Vile enemy types. And it adds one new Pearlescent weapon and six new pieces of Legendary loot to Borderlands 4. Combined with Story Pack 2, that gives players plenty of new weapons and gear to use.

Completing Amara and Vile Shadow also provides several guaranteed rewards, including a Vault Hunter skin that can be used by all Vault Hunters, a new vehicle, and an Echo 4 drone skin.

So, even if RNG isn't on your side and high-quality items aren't dropping, you are at least guaranteed to walk away with these specific rewards.

Like other recent Bounty Packs, this one also includes Vault Card 5. It has 24 cosmetic items and 4 pieces of re-rollable gear. In other words, there is another batch of rewards to pursue beyond Amara's main story.

The developers have now separated Bounty Pack content from Vault Card. This allows players to choose exactly what they want - whether it's just the story experience or specifically Vault Card rewards.

That covers all the content in Borderlands 4 Story Pack 2 and Bounty Pack 5 arriving on September 10. There is a substantial amount of new content here, giving you plenty to do throughout September.

Borderlands 4 Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions launched on July 30th alongside Version 1.9 update, bringing a brand-new storyline, dynamic combat mechanics, and the highly anticipated Vault Card 4: Desert Dreams! The wasteland is about to get even cooler, and even deadier.

Whether you want to equip new legendary weapons or dress up your Vault Hunter with a stylish desert-themed look, the fourth Vault Card offers a wealth of rewards designed to enhance your adventure on the planet Kairos. Ready to start your adventure in your new skin?

Desert Dreams Vault Card Overview

First, please note that Vault Card 4 is available both as part of Borderlands 4's Deluxe and Super Deluxe Editions, and Bounty Pack Bundle, and can also be purchased separately as a standalone DLC for $5.99 USD. This is very friendly to players who didn't initially subscribe to the premium version.

Getting back to the main point, Vault Card, as a persistent battle pass system, is designed to reward your playstyle without forcing you into tedious, repetitive grinding. You can access it directly through Vault Card tab in ECHO menu and progress at your own pace, without worrying about time limits or reward expiration.

Once acquired, the card tracks your overall experience points. As you explore Kairos, defeat enemies, and complete story missions, your regular experience points simultaneously charge the active Vault Card progress bar.

Vault Card Rewards

As we mentioned before, unlike Borderlands 4 Bounty Pack 4, which focuses on entirely new story content, Vault Card 4 allows players to earn new desert-themed rewards through gameplay. Vault Card includes 24 cosmetic items and 4 pieces of equipment with reconfigurable stats!

Legendary Items

As the highlight of this Vault Card event, these four legendary items are (each requiring 10 tickets to unlock):

• Divided Glow - Order Assault Rifle
• Eradication - Vladof Assault Rifle
• Stealth & Seek - Maliwan Sniper Rifle
• Pressure Kettle - Daedalus Grenade Ordnance

When you first unlock a legendary item, it comes with fixed base parts. However, subsequent redemptions will generate random parts, allowing for unprecedented depth of build customization.

The core feature of these unique weapons, however, lies in their reconfigurable attributes: players can directly and repeatedly adjust the weapon's attribute modifiers, element types, and weapon parts through Vault Card system until they achieve their desired god roll for a specific character build.

It's worth noting that these legendary items cover a wide range of combat characters and crafting attributes, designed to suit diverse combat styles.

1. Divided Glow

• Manufacturer: Order

Features Order's signature technology, explosive salvos released through charging. It synergizes exceptionally well with charge-up burst builds, high area-of-effect (AoE) splash damage configurations, and a skill tree centered around Order gear.

2. Eradication

• Manufacturer: Vladof

Designed for Vault Hunters focused on extremely high rate of fire, sustained suppression, and maximizing DPS. It's a top-tier sustained-fire weapon choice for builds that rely on high attack speed, ammo regeneration, or hit-based status effects.

3. Stealth & Seek

• Manufacturer: Maliwan

Sharpshooters seeking precise strikes will be captivated by Stealth & Seek, a Maliwan Sniper Rifle built specifically for ranged elemental suppression. This gun utilizes Maliwan's top-tier elemental technology, allowing for flexible switching between different elemental damage types to inflict high amounts of continuous status damage. It can also accurately strike enemy weak points from a safe distance, dealing massive critical damage.

4. Pressure Kettle

• Manufacturer: Daedalus

Built around Daedalus's focus on functionality and tactical control. This legendary throwable offers powerful crowd control and excellent area-of-effect control, making it a perfect complement to grenade-based builds and tactical deployment gameplay.

Cosmetic Items

In addition to powerful weapons, Desert Dreams Vault Card brings 24 exclusive cosmetic items designed to give your Vault Hunter and gear a unique desert style. Cosmetic customization is the core appeal of Vault Card system; players can use earned tickets to redeem various cosmetic items.

• 4 Vault Hunter Heads - 10 Tickets
• 4 Vault Hunter Skins usable by all Vault Hunters - 9 Tickets
• 5 Weapon Skins - 8 Tickets
• 5 Vehicle Skins - 6 Tickets
• 4 ECHO-4 Drone Skins - 6 Tickets
• 2 ECHO-4 Attachments - 10 Tickets

Fortunately, all options can be unlocked in any order, so you have complete freedom to prioritize acquiring your favorite gear or cosmetic items to showcase your achievements in the wasteland.

How to get more Vault Card Tickets?

Vault Card progression system in Borderlands 4 is similar to character leveling, entirely dependent on how much XP you acquire. While exploring Kairos, defeating enemies, and completing quests, you'll gain regular XP and simultaneously advance your Vault Card!

As your Vault Card level increases, you'll also earn exclusive Vault Card Tickets, the primary currency for unlocking exclusive cosmetic items and powerful legendary gear in a completely non-linear fashion.

To speed up your progress, you can quickly acquire these valuable tickets by participating in daily and weekly challenges. Daily missions offer rapidly rotating objectives, perfect for everyday gameplay; while weekly challenges require more effort but offer generous experience rewards. Your Vault Card level progression is entirely under your control, with no time limits or expired rewards!

Is Vault Card 4 worth it?

Since Vault Card 4 is released as a standalone card pack, priced at $5.99, it's comparable in price to Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions. Many players are likely hesitant about whether it's a worthwhile investment.

Of course, if you already own Deluxe Edition, Super Deluxe Edition, or Bounty Pack Bundle, you can acquire Vault Card without additional payment; the activation process is easy and convenient, making it an added bonus.

However, for players considering getting Vault Card separately, it ultimately depends on whether you prioritize character cosmetic enhancements or story expansion content.

For hardcore gamers who enjoy endgame gameplay and gear customization, Desert Dreams Vault Card offers immense value. Players can directly reset the attributes of specific weapons, significantly reducing the frustration of randomness often encountered when farming for ideal weapon attachments.

Furthermore, by continuously exchanging for new weapons until the optimal synergy is achieved for a specific character build, players gain a clear and reliable path to power-up.

In addition, given that Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode effectively improves gear collection efficiency, high-level players can quickly add these weapons to their arsenal and put them to use.

In contrast, for casual players who prioritize story missions and vast world exploration rather than fine-tuning gear stats, the appeal of Vault Card 4 itself may be relatively limited.

Because Vault Card focuses on gear acquisition and cosmetic customization, it doesn't include new questlines or map areas. Therefore, if you're looking for story-driven exploration, investing in the accompanying Murders and Acquisitions DLC will obviously yield more immediate enjoyment.

However, Vault Card system is permanently valid, meaning even casual players don't need to worry about missing out on rewards due to time constraints. They can naturally unlock various content through intermittent play over months or even years.

Whether you're chasing the god roll for legendary gear or simply want to collect all the cosmetic accessories to complete your Vault Hunter's look, Borderlands 4 Vault Card 4 offers a rewarding and stress-free system that continuously rewards your time and effort. Return to Kairos now, activate your new Vault Card, and start collecting these stylish desert-themed rewards!
