New Borderlands 4 patch stumbles by making the nerfed crit knife an actual DPS loss on some builds, plus a Halloween event that's 'like getting a dead rat in a box for Christmas'

Amara holds a piece of siren magic between her fingertips in Borderlands 4.

Borderlands 4 dropped a pretty hefty patch today, and before I tell you how Gearbox has screwed the pooch, I do want to be fair and at least highlight the positives while I roll my sleeves up:

Sort filters for your inventory now persist instead of auto-setting to "by manufacturer"; Your discovered locations persist when going from multiplayer to singleplayer; The combat radar now highlights legendary loot (well, it will. It's bugged right now); The "toggle junk" bug is fixed, and a bunch of performance tweaks and fixes have been applied. Including one where the "Ocean could occasionally fail to load." You can read the full list of changes in our Borderlands 4 weekly update.
