Borderlands 4 Emphasizes Buffs Over Nerfs, Aiming to Enhance Underperforming Elements First

Borderlands 4 is prioritizing improvements on gear and skills that are underpowered rather than nerfing overperforming items.

Borderlands 4 is an action RPG that has recently gained attention for its unique gameplay strategies. Notably, players are discovering strong builds that utilize specific gear and skills. Graeme Timmins, the creative director at Gearbox, has announced that instead of nerfing excessively powerful elements, they will first focus on buffing weaker gear and skills to enhance overall gameplay balance.

Key Details

  • The game features throwing knives that can enable critical damage when paired with specific perks, leading to incredibly powerful builds.
  • The discussion centers around the Penetrator Augment, which ensures all damage is critical for a short period, allowing for highly effective strategies.
  • Timmins has addressed the community’s concerns, indicating that adjustments will be made to enhance underperforming skills before considering changes to overpowered skills. This strategy aims to maintain the game’s fun factor while ensuring everything remains balanced.
