A new Borderlands 4 update brings massive weapon buffs as Gearbox readies its second raid boss

A new Borderlands 4 update just deployed some serious damage buffs across a wide range of its weapon roster. With the Mad Ellie DLC now in the rear-view mirror and the FPS game's second raid boss on the horizon, Gearbox is planning several weeks of balance changes, gear tuning, and even some more dramatic overhauls. To start with, it's focusing on weapon buffs for some of the underperforming options, plus some assistance for energy shields. There are huge damage increases on the table, with the likes of shotguns, pistols, SMGs, and Order-manufactured weapons among the big winners.
