Borderlands 4's Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions Arrives July 30 With New Legendaries and a Vault Card Refresh

Gearbox detailed Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions on its latest DevCast - a repeatable mission set in the Toxic Scowl with a new Pearlescent weapon, six Legendaries, and a refreshed Vault Card. It arrives July 30 alongside the V1.9 update, with Story Pack 2 already teased for September.

Borderlands 4's Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions Arrives July 30 With New Legendaries and a Vault Card Refresh

Borderlands 4 is getting its next chunk of post-launch content. Gearbox used its latest DevCast to detail Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions, confirmed to launch July 30, 2026 alongside the game's V1.9 update.

Borderlands 4 combat

A Turf War in the Toxic Scowl

The new content centers on a repeatable mission set in the Toxic Scowl, a polluted desert canyon where players help Levaine, leader of the Electi faction, mediate a conflict between two rival Ripper factions - the pacifist Flock and the aggressive Blasphemers. True to Borderlands form, it's a choice-driven encounter: your decisions shape the dialogue, alter the combat, and change which side shows up to help you against the boss.

New Loot on Offer

Beating the final boss and three mini-bosses drops one new Pearlescent weapon and six new Legendary items, plus a new Vault Hunter skin, vehicle skin, and ECHO-4 drone skin for completing the content. Bounty Pack 4 is being sold in two pieces: the core Murders and Acquisitions narrative expansion, and a refreshed Vault Card 4 carrying 24 cosmetic rewards plus 4 rerollable gear pieces.

Story Pack 2 Already on the Horizon

Gearbox used the same DevCast to tease what's next: Story Pack 2: FL4K and the Last Resort, which sends FL4K hunting a missing skag across a volcanic jungle island tangled up in a Tediore operation. It arrives September 10 alongside Bounty Pack 5 and a new playable Vault Hunter, Loveless the Hacker.

Why It Matters

Borderlands 4's post-launch cadence has stayed steady and choice-driven rather than purely loot-focused, and Bounty Pack 4 keeps that pattern going - a real narrative beat wrapped around fresh Legendaries, not just a boss reskin. With Story Pack 2 already dated for September, Gearbox is signaling this is a Vault Hunter roadmap built to run well into the back half of the year.
