Nobody Seems To Like The New Halloween Event In Borderlands 4

"As we reach the end of October and get closer and closer to Halloween, many live-service and online games start to activate seasonal, limited-time, Halloween-themed events. Borderlands 4 is one of these games, and its new "Horrors of Kairos" event went live on October 23 and ends on November 6. And nobody really likes it, as the "event" is less of a big, in-game Halloween celebration and more of a small change to a pre-existing mechanic with two new weapons and some pumpkin-y skins."

"Basically, the new Halloween event in Borderlands 4 changes how random world boss spawns work in the looter shooter. They still happen during "Horrors of Kairos," but now, when you enter the boss's holo-bubble to start the fight, the sky turns orange, and when you kill the big bad, they might drop one of the two new legendary guns temporarily available during the spooky event. Then the bubble closes and the sky goes back to normal."

"This is not very exciting. And because world bosses spawn randomly in the open world, players have to just drive around waiting for a boss bubble to appear. And if you have a strong build, the fight might be over in less than a minute. Compared to Borderlands 3 and its big Halloween event, this is extremely disappointing. In the last game, the Halloween event introduced a new character, added a new limited-time map, featured a new boss, and more."

Borderlands 4 launched a limited-time Halloween event called "Horrors of Kairos" from October 23 to November 6 that makes only minimal changes. The event alters random world boss spawns by adding orange skies during boss holo-bubble encounters and introduces two temporary legendary guns plus some pumpkin-themed skins obtainable via a free Shift code. World bosses still spawn randomly in the open world, requiring players to search for bubbles, and powerful builds can defeat bosses very quickly. Many players find the event disappointing compared with Borderlands 3's larger Halloween offerings that added maps, characters, and new bosses.
