Borderlands 4 Version 1.9 Update Brings Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions
Borderlands 4 continues to expand its chaotic universe with the release of the highly anticipated Version 1.9 update, introducing Bounty Pack 4: Murders and Acquisitions.
Developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K, this latest downloadable content offers players fresh story missions, powerful enemies, valuable loot, and exciting rewards that further enrich the looter-shooter experience.
The update also sets the stage for even bigger content arriving on September 10, including the return of a beloved Vault Hunter, an entirely new playable character, and another major story expansion.
Explore the Dangerous Toxic Scowl
The highlight of Version 1.9 is undoubtedly Murders and Acquisitions, the latest narrative expansion included in Bounty Pack 4.
Players are sent into the harsh and polluted canyon known as Toxic Scowl, a hostile desert landscape filled with danger around every corner. Throughout the mission, players will assist Levaine, the leader of the Electi, who is determined to settle an ongoing conflict between rival Ripper factions.
The expansion introduces a brand-new repeatable mission, giving players more reasons to revisit the content even after completing it for the first time.
Face New Bosses and Earn Exclusive Loot
As expected from a Borderlands expansion, combat remains the heart of the experience.
Murders and Acquisitions introduces one challenging new boss alongside three additional mini-bosses, each offering unique encounters that test players’ skills and builds.
The rewards are equally impressive. Players can collect:
- One brand-new Pearlescent weapon
- Six exclusive Legendary gear pieces
- Additional loot exclusive to the expansion
These additions provide more build options for players looking to optimise their characters while giving dedicated loot hunters another reason to jump back into the game.
Unlock More Rewards with Vault Card 4
Alongside the story expansion, players can also enjoy Vault Card 4, which introduces another progression system packed with cosmetic rewards.
By completing gameplay challenges, players can unlock a variety of exclusive items, including:
- 24 cosmetic rewards
- Four rerollable gear pieces
The cosmetics embrace a stylish desert-inspired theme, allowing players to customise their characters while continuing their adventures across the Borderlands universe.
Players who prefer can purchase Murders and Acquisitions and Vault Card 4 separately, offering flexibility depending on which content they wish to experience.
Story Pack 2 Arrives This September
While Version 1.9 offers plenty of new content, Gearbox has already revealed what’s coming next.
Launching on September 10 with Version 1.10, Story Pack 2 marks the return of one of the franchise’s most popular Vault Hunters — FL4K, the legendary Beastmaster first introduced in Borderlands 3.
The new campaign will continue expanding Borderlands 4’s storyline while bringing back FL4K in an entirely new adventure. Fans recently received their first look through the official teaser trailer, generating excitement among long-time players eager to reunite with the beloved robotic hunter.
Meet Loveless the Hacker
September’s update also introduces an entirely new playable Vault Hunter named Loveless the Hacker.
Loveless is a former Anshin hacker turned elite assassin who combines advanced cybernetic enhancements with her own self-created digital virus. Rather than simply hacking systems remotely, her virus can physically manifest using Digistruct technology, becoming a powerful extension of her combat abilities.
This unique concept promises a fresh gameplay style that blends technology, stealth, and aggressive combat, making Loveless one of the most intriguing Vault Hunters introduced to the series.
Bounty Pack 5 Also on the Way
The September update doesn’t stop there.
Players can also look forward to Bounty Pack 5, which will include another narrative expansion together with Vault Card 5. While Gearbox has yet to reveal specific gameplay details, more information is expected closer to launch.
The continuous rollout of story expansions demonstrates Gearbox’s commitment to supporting Borderlands 4 with regular post-launch content that keeps players engaged for months to come.
Which Edition Includes the New Content?
Players who purchased the Borderlands 4 Super Deluxe Edition automatically receive access to:
- Bounty Packs 2, 3, 4 and 5
- Story Packs 1 and 2
- The complete Vault Hunter Pack
Meanwhile, owners of the Deluxe Edition receive the full Bounty Pack Bundle, while Story Packs remain available separately.
For players who only want specific expansions, every Bounty Pack and Story Pack can also be purchased individually.
Version 1.9 delivers another solid content update for Borderlands 4. Between the dangerous new Toxic Scowl region, repeatable missions, fresh bosses, exclusive Legendary loot, and the stylish Vault Card 4 rewards, there is plenty for both new and veteran players to enjoy.
Looking ahead, September’s arrival of FL4K, the debut of Loveless the Hacker, and the launch of Bounty Pack 5 promise that Borderlands 4’s post-launch journey is only getting started.
With a steady roadmap of narrative expansions and new playable content, Gearbox continues to ensure that the Borderlands universe remains one of the most exciting looter-shooter experiences available today.
