2K and Gearbox Software have announced the Borderlands 4 Version 1.8 update, arriving on June 25, 2026.

The patch introduces both free and premium content, including the highly anticipated Bounty Pack 3: A Zane to Kill For and the first endgame raid, Takedown at Hadron Abyss. Players also gain access to Cross‑Platform Saves, allowing Vault Hunter progress to seamlessly transfer across platforms.

Bounty Pack 3: A Zane to Kill For

The latest premium DLC expansion for Borderlands 4 takes players into a neon‑noir arcade mystery, where Vault Hunters investigate the murder of Zane’s Digi‑Clone backup. Expect a new boss, two mini‑bosses, and repeatable missions packed with high‑tier loot.

Alongside the narrative expansion, Vault Card 3 offers 24 cosmetic items and four rerollable gear pieces, all earned through gameplay.

Free Endgame Raid: Takedown at Hadron Abyss

Accessible after completing the Borderlands 4 main campaign, the Hadron Abyss raid sends players into a submerged research station crawling with mutated horrors. The final showdown pits Vault Hunters against the Child of Terramorphous, with dynamic scaling based on party size.

Rewards include:

• 1 new Pearlescent weapon
• 9 new Legendary items
• 5 new Class Mods (with a sixth arriving in Q3 2026)

Players can ramp up the challenge with Mayhem levels or Hardcore one‑life mode.

Roadmap: Loveless the Hacker Joins in September

Looking ahead, Bounty Pack 4: Murders & Acquisitions lands July 30 with Version 1.9. Then in September, Bounty Pack 5 and Story Pack 2 introduce Loveless the Hacker, an ex‑Anshin assassin enhanced with cybernetics and a deadly self‑made digital virus.

Owners of the Super Deluxe Edition automatically receive all Bounty Packs and Story Packs, while Deluxe Edition players gain access to the Bounty Pack Bundle.
