Borderlands 4: Weekly Update - May 21, 2026

PUBLISHED:
UPDATED:

The only change in this Weekly Update is a new set of Weekly Activities as we prepare next week's big Version 1.7 update, coming May 28. As part of the Version 1.7 update for all players, we'll be adding Raid Boss 2: Subjugator and Thol the Invincible, as well as a Shared Character Progression toggle; you can learn all about those upcoming features here.

Please restart your game to ensure that the update goes through and to prevent connection errors in matchmaking.

If you're encountering any issues, we have an Issue Tracker for known issues, our PC Troubleshooting Guide, or the Tech Tinkering Tips section of this very help center! Just in case you need more help, you can also contact our Support Teams directly.


Weekly Activities: 

  • Weekly Big Encore Boss has switched to a tougher variant of a different existing boss with an even more rewarding loot pool for those that take it on. 

    • Vile Ted & The Experiments

  • The Weekly Wildcard Mission has changed. These missions feature a guaranteed Legendary drop that you can repeatedly earn to get your ideal roll.

    • Mission: Dark Subject (Leaking, Strong, Vampiric)

    • Legendary Gear Reward: Lead Balloon Torgue Shotgun

  • Maurice's Black Market Vending Machine has moved to another location and changed its offerings. Remember, while the location is the same, your vending machine items are different from other players, so ask around to see if someone has the item you're looking for!
