The September 10 Version 1.10 update for Borderlands 4 is live and free for all players, arriving alongside a cluster of paid expansions on the same day.

What changed

Free for all players

  • Maximum level cap raised by 10, from 60 to 70, granting additional skill points across all Vault Hunter builds
  • Buffs and balance adjustments for all base-game Vault Hunter classes, including "big damage increases" for Rafa the Exo-Soldier's APOPHIS Lance

New paid content (available separately)

  • Loveless the Hacker — a new playable Vault Hunter usable across the full game — $9.99 USD
  • Story Pack 2: FL4K and the Last Resort — new missions, activities, loot, and the region Providence — $19.99 USD
  • Bounty Pack 5: Amara and the Vile Shadows — narrative content, gear, and the Vile Test Chamber repeatable boss rush — $5.99 USD
  • Bounty Pack 5: Vault Card 5 — cosmetics and gear unlocked through gameplay — $5.99 USD

Previously released content now sold separately

  • Story Pack 1: Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned — $19.99 USD
  • C4SH the Rogue (Vault Hunter) — $9.99 USD
  • Bounty Pack 2: Legend of the Stone Demon — $5.99 USD
  • Bounty Pack 2: Vault Card 2 — $5.99 USD

Regional pricing applies on all storefronts.

For players who have stayed with the base game, the level cap increase is the most immediate change — ten extra levels of skill point allocation opens meaningful new build space without requiring any additional purchase.
