"For example, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 players leveraged the power of the Stendhal build to wipe the floor with enemies until developer Sandfall Interactive toned down the damage, and Bungie has nerfed numerous Guardian builds over the years, much to the annoyance of the game's fanbase. Borderlands has often been an exception to that school of thought, as players have discovered killer combos between weapons, gear, and skills that have helped them overcome tough fights."
""Chill guys, we're not going to knee-jerk react to anything," Borderlands 4 creative director Graame Timmins wrote on X/Twitter, in response to a video showing off how quickly Vex can melt a boss down to scrap metal with the right gear and skills equipped. "That said, this looks like a bug we fixed with Harlow and Rafa prior to launch that could recursively cause damage it and actually crashed the game and/or froze the UI. Going to investigate, could be legit stability problem.""
Borderlands 4 emphasizes buildcrafting, enabling players to create exceptionally powerful Vault Hunter builds. Vex, a Siren class, can produce extremely high damage with specific gear and skills, prompting concern about potential nerfs. Gearbox stated it will not make knee-jerk changes and will only react if stability is at risk. A particular Vex damage interaction resembles a previously patched bug involving Harlow and Rafa that could recursively increase damage and crash the game or freeze the UI. Other action-RPGs have nerfed dominant builds, while Borderlands has historically tolerated powerful combos and used difficulty modes instead. Borderlands 4 released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S and faces negative user reviews and PC performance criticisms.
