The long-awaited patch for Borderlands 4, which was supposed to tone down the infamous “crit knife” build, has been delayed once again. Gearbox confirmed that the update will now arrive alongside the Horrors of Kairos mini-event, running from October 23 to November 6.

Borderlands creator Randy Pitchford stated that other studios still don’t truly understand what players love about “looter shooters.” According to him, if developers had a deeper grasp of the thrill and decision-making behind loot, Gearbox would already have strong rivals.
