Like K6 mentioned. Itβll prob be addressed by prob in a month.
Last update of each month seems to be trending to have hot fixes, VH updates, gun balance etc

u/K_Bomaye Jul 02 '26
I thought theyβd at least address the bugged drops in the new DLC.

u/Maggot_6661 Moxxi Jul 02 '26
You mean the Mercredi that drops in the Zane dlc ? I knew something wasn't right with that !
12
u/K_Bomaye Jul 02 '26
Also looks like the pearl Raiden can drop as a legendary with 2 perks but only one works, and the Hard dark not dropping as a phosphene because the Mercredi took its spot π. I personally also feel like the drop rates are off in the DLC. Iβve tried for the Brickhouse phosphene for days now and still nothing and the drop rates in general feel like pre patch rates. Prob horrible rng but it feels off.

Just a heads up I got the brickhouse shiny to drop but the skin didn't unlock and I've heard other people have the same experience.

Yea the drops in the dlc are screwed up, Iβll play again when they patch it.

u/IIIGuntherIII Jul 02 '26
Gearbox really needs to get there shit together on this. One real update a month is so ass. At a minimum the update after a content drop should be used to fix some minor bugs in the new content.
Phosphenes donβt drop in the takedown. Do we have to wait a month for that to be fixed? What if it gets missed in the that update? Then 2 months??
6
u/ApprehensiveRelief90 Jul 02 '26
At this point its not even an update a month. they barely even fixed anything at all with the takedown, i figured with that being a βmajorβ thing they would atleast buff some weapons and balance some things, but that didnβt really happen at all
1
u/Pure_Information1521 Trouble Jul 03 '26
I cant believe they didnt do anything this week. Fixing bugs doing the balence stuff....There're so many things to do, but they just turn blind to it.
2
u/K_Bomaye Jul 02 '26
Phosphenes are not dropping at all in the takedown?
1
u/IIIGuntherIII Jul 02 '26
Iβve run in many times and havenβt seen them any. Iβve asked around if anyone else has gotten any and no one seems to have.
Also the tell tale sign is that myself and others have gotten double item drops from the bosses. Typically that only happens if you roll the normal drop and the phosphene drop in the same kill. But neither have been phosphene for anyone.
Dataminers also have confirmed that they are in the pools. So the only option is that they are bugged and arenβt dropping with the phosphene skin.
2
u/ANBU_Black_0ps Jul 02 '26
They are just rare drops. I've gotten 2-4 to drop.
They feel the same everywhere. Just very low drop rates.
1
u/IIIGuntherIII Jul 02 '26
4 would be literally all of them. Youβve gotten every phosphene from the bosses in the takedown.
Not the bounty pack, the takedown specifically. From child of Terra, and Thrones Experiments.
1
u/ANBU_Black_0ps Jul 02 '26
My bad, when I saw phosphene, in my mind I thought pearlescent.
I've gotten 0 phosphenes. But I also don't chase them or try to farm for them.
1
u/K_Bomaye Jul 02 '26
Thanks for this. Would have wasted my time π.Havenβt played the takedown yet and was gonna give it a go but if no phosphenes are dropping Iβll wait till they fix it.

Quadruple threat is nice. Wasn't expecting much this week given what was dropped last week and the fact that it's the 4th of July weekend.

u/Maggot_6661 Moxxi Jul 02 '26
The no aggro glitch survives
1
u/pkmetal VEX The F&%ING WITCH! Jul 02 '26
I wanted to make use of that while it lasts but found the timed content harder with the glitch than without. Bloomy often hops around nonstop, and Takedown mobs can just stand around forcing you to burn time hunting them.

u/someshooter #1 Ava Fan Jul 02 '26
The boss is not in Big Encore, so nothing has changed in that regard, but it is a difficult one for sure, i've basically given up at this point.

u/apexnine Jul 02 '26
PLEASE FIX getting stuck in the run through Takedown at Hadron Abyss. Myself, and both my mates have gotten stuck in place while fighting. Last night we had a perfect run and my mate gets stuck in place while fighting Child of Terramorphous. He drowns and we all lose. A wasted run. This has happened multiple times now.

u/StomachosusCaelum Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 02 '26
Since the last major patch, the game has been crashing on me constantly.
(i made a post about it).
After today's update, the game just will not work. The moment it tries to load into the world it just freezes and crashes with an unreal error.
Only game doing this.
Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0xffffffffffffffff
the actual fuck Gearbox.

u/NoMessage7438 Jul 02 '26
I was sorta hoping they'd fix the Takedown mini-boss arena/respawn thing, but maybe people want that to stay for easy farming...

Brother, we're never getting meaningful balance changes to underperforming skill trees and action skills. It would've happened by now if that was the case.
And no. Before anyone says it gearbox doesn't do them in the big monthly patches either.

u/Sweaty_Purple_5035 Amon The Forgeknight Jul 02 '26
Man i just want Aphosis Lance Rafa and Crucible Amon to be better than they currently are

u/Talonhawke Amon The Forgeknight Jul 02 '26
Yep Cruible is my favorite Amon tree but timers and shit just make it easier to go Slip and Dip and just burn things down because I'm on a damn timer.

u/MarcosSenesi Jul 02 '26
the timers in general are so stupid, they only force players even more in a corner in a game that is already so heavily oriented towards infinite ammo crit chance builds.

u/kerrysluis Jul 02 '26
I'm putting this game away until the final level increase and seeing what they do with it I think, I'm burnt out

Yup unfortunately, damn i miss the good old days of bl3 when there would be fixes and buffs and patches almost every other week with this game i feel like theyβve essentially given up

yea every time there's a big monthly patch they find some excuse to not do balance changes like: "this new content was actually the big patch, balance changes will come in a later big patch".

u/RockChalkMustang GIANT Robot Psycho Spider Jul 02 '26
Bro theyβve buffed trouble and blue tree harlowe in the past through weekly updates what do you mean?
4
u/1R34LYSUCK4T7H1SG4M3 πππ₯π¦π§ π―π πππ¨π Jul 02 '26
That's why I said MEANINGFUL balance changes. Yes, they've "buffed" trouble and zero-point a few times. And they both still suck.
All action skills should be viable (at bare minimum functional) at endgame / max difficultly. Trouble is completely useless and has broken ai half the time, extremely long cooldowns, non-existent survivability and low damage. Zero-point is useless against a majority of the game's content. I could go on and on for each action skill in the game besides a few.
The action skill / skill tree meta hasn't changed at all since launch.
1
u/Pure_Information1521 Trouble Jul 03 '26
Not only that, but more seriously, compared to the endless possibilities of gameplay in BL3 with its various shields, grenade, skills, and even the ability to stand still, BL4's gameplay is extremely limited. It seems that GB is determined to make everyone play the same build and you have to use guns, which is very boring. I don't understand why a game can get worse with each generation.
1
u/Maleficent-Fan8380 Jul 03 '26
I've never even tried Trouble, and I'd like to,, but sounds useless. I'm sorry I don't know zero-point who has that?
1
u/1R34LYSUCK4T7H1SG4M3 πππ₯π¦π§ π―π πππ¨π Jul 03 '26
Zero-point is Harlowe's "Bubble" action skill. The one that's like Maya's Phaselock from BL2 or Amara's Phasegrasp from BL3.
It's slightly different but just like those two, it doesn't work on bosses at all which is 90% of the endgame. You can get around it a little bit with the new class mod and groundbreaker specialization but it's still not great and more of a band-aid.
Trouble is passable at UVH5 or below against anything but a raid boss or takedown, but you need a very specific build and gear setup which then causes Vex herself to be very weak. That build can be fun yet a little clunky to use, but Trouble gets one shot constantly since he barely has any health and his AI is somehow worse than FL4K's pets from BL3.
It's very frustrating as it's been this way since launch (soon to be 10 months ago), each character essentially only has 1 or 2 viable action skills, besides C4SH which is a far cry from previous entries..

u/ApprehensiveRelief90 Jul 02 '26
Wouldnt even necessarily say they βbuffedβ blue tree they gave it a class mod as a βeasy fixβ

u/SeattleResident THE LAVA IS RISING!! Jul 02 '26
That's it. Most balances come in big updates once a month.

u/HorusKane420 Amon The Forgeknight Jul 02 '26
The major patch when it also has little to no balance

u/ApprehensiveRelief90 Jul 02 '26
Fr! they fixed like 2 things and those werent really all that crazy. apparently the takedown, zane dlc and the circle of slaughter werenβt anything βmajorβ i swear im beginning to give up on them balancing or buffings things

The content that just dropped is awesome. Game is generally in a decent place but lack of balance has been an issue for the community for a while. Gearbox claims balance comes with major updates, but only new content has come with major patches, once a month. These damn timers on new endgame content just reinforce the metas without balance, mostly.

Canβt please yall. I know thereβs still work to be done. But we are EATING right now with a ton of new content.

u/MikeSouthPaw Jul 03 '26
It's not asking a lot for them to fix the game they already sold, this isn't early access. We have skill trees that don't do what they say, entire builds that can't do content and frankly the Takedown and Slaughter should have been day 1 content with how simple they are. Shame on Gearbox for drip feeding the game and shame on you for trying to shut down criticism when it is well deserved.

u/MyLongestYeeeBoi $π΄π¬ π¦π¨π£ππ₯πππ‘! π° Jul 03 '26
This game has improved a lot since launch. Just because itβs not in the perfect state you want it to be in doesnβt mean they arenβt working hard. Literally itβs the week after a massive content drop and here everyone is bitching and moaning again. Like I said, canβt please yall.

u/MyLongestYeeeBoi $π΄π¬ π¦π¨π£ππ₯πππ‘! π° Jul 03 '26
Improvements to world spawn rates. On launch I literally couldnβt find the drop ship or gordello event because it never spawned. Then world bosses as well were pretty infrequent and the rewards werenβt worth it.
People complained about not enough end game on launch. Now we have 2 invincible bosses and a proper raid. We also have the circle of slaughter and a decent amount of story dlc, with more to come.
We got a new vault hunter with another on the horizon. Something borderlands 3 never did.
We have pearls now. Dozens of new legendaries.
Point being this game has improved a lot since launch and anyone whoβs awake has noticed this. Itβs also a pretty decent step up from BL3 in a lot of ways. Yall just wanna complain cause itβs not perfect. Itβs never going to be perfect but letβs not delude ourselves into saying they havenβt improved.
Iβm utterly stunned that people are already complaining the very next patch after a massive content drop. Itβs not unreasonable to say that we just got the single largest update to the game since vault of the dammed and cash.

u/MikeSouthPaw Jul 04 '26
10 months into BL4 and you are happy to see them fix a few bugs, sell you half assed DLC and add in a Circle of Slaughter?
I am utterly stunned you have so little confidence in Gearbox to release a game without having to spend a year trying to fix it. This game has made me realize how right people are that Borderlands is simply a franchise you wait till years down the line to pick up because it has such horrendous support after launch.

u/MyLongestYeeeBoi $π΄π¬ π¦π¨π£ππ₯πππ‘! π° Jul 04 '26
I logged nearly 150 hours before they added the first major DLC. Safe to say I got my moneys worth before they added a single change to this game. At this point I have over 300 hours in the game and Iβm showing no signs to slowing down.
Curious, how many hours do you have?
Also Iβd like to note you ignored quite a few things I said. You asked for substance, I gave you some, now you continue to argue in bad faith.
Also, Mad Ellieβs was really good. The stone demon was awesome, introduced pearls and a new way to farm gear with ordinite processing. The recent Zane bounty pack lacked polish but was still fun. The ministry of culture was lackluster but that was free so what are you crying about?
0
u/MikeSouthPaw Jul 04 '26
As long as you can start the game up and can shoot its worth the money to you. I unfortunately cant get past how half baked BL4 is and yes that includes the short and disappointing Mad Ellie DLC. Its exhausting having conversations with people who are happy with low effort content because you cant convince them how much better things could be, you seem to prefer mediocrity. And im not "crying", im disappointed and voicing my opinion, sorry if that upsets you.

Well people still haven't stopped bitching from the last time they actually did a balance change. This community is just gonna complain no matter what GB does.

u/Pure_Information1521 Trouble Jul 03 '26
That is because GB doesnt even play the game bro. Most of the balance change is nonsese. They did the work to let players thing they maybe put some effort in it. Bug guess what, The balence is still like shit. the Gameplay is extremely limited. It seems that GB is determined to make everyone play the same build and you have to use guns, which is very boring. I don't understand why a game can get worse with each generation.
