Bounty Pack 4 is available now!

How to start Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions

Bounty Pack 4 arrives in two distinct parts that you can purchase individually: the new narrative content and loot of Murders and Acquisitions, and the new cosmetics and gear of Vault Card 4. If you own Borderlands 4 Deluxe Edition, Super Deluxe Edition, or the Bounty Pack Bundle, you already own both parts of Bounty Pack 4 (Murders and Acquisitions and Vault Card 4). 

If you own either part of Bounty Pack 4 on PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, or PC via Epic, you'll need to navigate to each listing for these separate parts on your platform's storefront to redeem/download the new content. You can also attempt to start the Murders and Acquisitions mission (details below), which will open a direct link to redeem/download your owned Bounty Pack 4 content on that platform. If you own either part of Bounty Pack 4 on PC via Steam, restart your Steam client and this new content will be redeemed and downloaded automatically.

Once you've acquired Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions, you'll be able to start the repeatable mission after your first encounter with Levaine in Carcadia Burn during the main campaign. You'll find the mission-starting crate of mushrooms near any Bounty Board in the major hub areas, which will be marked on your ECHO map as a new mission.

Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions loot

Completing the Murders and Acquisitions mission will unlock a Vault Hunter Skin usable by all Vault Hunters, a Vehicle, and an ECHO-4 Drone Skin. In addition, you can farm a new boss and three new mini-bosses in the Toxic Scowl for a new Pearlescent weapon and six new pieces of Legendary loot! Here's a sneak peek at the unique effects of this powerful new gear:

• 1 new Pearlescent weapon:
  • PRISM (Jakobs Sniper Rifle): Imbues ricochets with a random elemental damage type. Nailing consecutive critical hits will spawn additional projectiles up to a cap.
• 6 new pieces of Legendary gear:
  • Silver Sliver (Daedalus Pistol): Enemies hit by this high-fire-rate pistol receive a stacking debuff that makes them take increased damage.
  • Overconsumption (Tediore Pistol): A rocket-blasting pistol that spawns two mobile turrets when thrown for a reload.
  • Plump Bob (Ripper Shotgun): Fires shells that bounce multiple times.
  • Hydrowerks (Torgue Shield): When sliding, you'll fire out missiles; at the end of the slide, armor will be refilled based on the slide's duration.
  • Oxidation (Vladof Repkit): Restores a percentage of your current gun's ammo based on the percentage of health restored.
  • Loiter Sploiter (Torgue Heavy Weapon Ordnance): Hits spawn MIRV missiles, which also spawn their own mini-MIRVs on impact!

Bounty Pack 4: Vault Card 4 loot

Earn new desert-chic rewards through gameplay with an all new Vault Card, packed with 24 cosmetic items and four pieces of rerollable gear to unlock! Here's the full rundown of the new unlocks:

• 4 rerollable pieces of Legendary gear:
  • Divided Glow (Order Assault Rifle): Primary fire deals Radiation damage, with a weapon shield that has an increased chance to reflect bullets. Enemies hit by those reflected projectiles take increased Radiation damage.
  • Eradication (Vladof Assault Rifle): On kill, this automatically fires its underbarrel grenade launcher at nearby enemies with increased damage.
  • Stealth & Seek (Maliwan Sniper Rifle): Projectiles that attach to enemies or the environment will continuously fire their own stream of projectiles at nearby targets.
  • Pressure Kettle (Daedalus Grenade Ordnance): Throws five grenades by default. Cooking before the throw will reduce that number but increase the damage and velocity of each grenade.
• 1 Unique Head for each base game Vault Hunter
• 4 Vault Hunter Skins usable by all Vault Hunters
• 5 Weapon Skins
• 5 Vehicle Skins
• 4 ECHO-4 Drone Skins
• 2 ECHO-4 Attachments

Playing Borderlands 4 with a Vault Card active gives you more loot and XP via Daily and Weekly Challenges, and can be leveled up at your own pace (no time limits or expiring rewards). Once you own a Bounty Pack's Vault Card, you can activate that Vault Card via the Vault Card screen in your ECHO menu. Vault Card progression works just like leveling up: it's all driven by how much XP you're gaining. By exploring Kairos, killing enemies, and completing quests, you'll fill up your Vault Card progression in addition to your regular XP!

Story Pack 2, Loveless the Hacker, and Bounty Pack 5 arrive September 10**

Looking ahead, September 10 is our next major milestone, with the paid DLC of Story Pack 2: FL4K and the Last Resort, Loveless the Hacker, and both parts of Bounty Pack 5 all going live alongside the Version 1.10 update. We'll be sharing more details about those content drops in an upcoming episode of the Gearbox DevCast, so keep a lookout for it in the coming weeks!

Bounty Packs 4 and 5 and Story Pack 2 are all split into two parts that will be available for individual purchase.
