Gearbox Software and 2K have confirmed that Borderlands 4’s fourth paid expansion, Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions, will launch on July 30, 2026, alongside the Version 1.9 title update. As detailed in the official Borderlands 4 update roadmap, the incoming DLC expands the looter-shooter’s endgame roster with a fresh narrative campaign, an updated Vault Card, and exclusive high-tier equipment, available automatically to owners of the Deluxe and Super Deluxe editions or as a standalone purchase.
The expansion takes players into Toxic Scowl, an industrial wasteland canyon corroded by acidic dust. Players are hired by Levaine, leader of the Electi, to arbitrate an escalating feud between two local Ripper factions: the pacifist commune known as The Flock and an aggressive group called The Blasphemers. The core story quest introduces branching dialogue and decision points that alter combat encounters, environmental hazards, and faction assistance during the final boss battle, encouraging players to complete multiple playthroughs to see every outcome.
Combat encounters within Toxic Scowl feature four new bosses, comprising one main boss and three distinct mini-bosses stationed at outposts throughout the canyon. Defeating these targets rewards players with a chance to collect seven exclusive high-rarity items, including six new Legendary gear pieces and a Pearlescent Jakobs sniper rifle dubbed PRISM. Running parallel to the narrative expansion is Vault Card 4, which allows players to earn 24 desert-themed cosmetic items and four pieces of rerollable gear by accumulating experience points.
Gearbox also provided a preview of post-July updates, confirming Story Pack 2: FL4K and the Last Resort for release on September 10 alongside Version 1.10. That expansion marks the return of Borderlands 3 Vault Hunter FL4K on a mission to track down his lost skag across a jungle island, while simultaneously debuting Loveless the Hacker, a new playable character utilizing cybernetics and digital virus constructs.
