‘Feels like I’m shooting pebbles’: Gearbox plans Borderlands 4 patches to buff legendary pistols, strengthen assault rifles and improve the Hellwalker

The Hellwalker was a standout in Borderlands 3 — intentionally echoing Doom’s Super Shotgun — but its impact in Borderlands 4 hasn’t matched expectations. The upcoming adjustments should help restore its signature power and give it back that satisfying, hard‑hitting feel.

Kao explains the team’s broader aim is to expand and diversify viable class and gear builds so players can tackle current content and future challenges. To that end, the immediate focus will be on raising the value of certain legendary pistols, followed by efforts to give assault rifles more opportunities to shine — hopefully ending the “pebble” problem for good.
