Gearbox finally fixes Borderlands 4's infuriating class mod drops and snore-inducing Wildcards—oh, and its first DLC is now free

Borderlands 4 update: Rafa dressed up in a festive nutcracker skin while firing a weapon from his hip inside a dark, smoky building.

While its launch was a massive success, in the weeks and months since, Borderlands 4 hasn't had the best of times. Small issues and bugs have been piling up, the Halloween event was a flop, and we've all been frustrated with the lack of an endgame.

All of this stacking up before the launch of the first paid DLC, a holiday-themed pack, certainly put a damper on the celebrations. I'm glad to report that the latest Borderlands 4 weekly update has solved a number of these hot-button issues, and Gearbox has even left us a present under the tree.
