"A new update for Borderlands 4 is available now on all platforms, and after installing it you'll discover that all of the game's playable vault hunters are now stronger. But one in particular, Amon, is much, much more powerful after the patch, which is great because many (myself included) considered him to be the worst and weakest of the bunch."
"On October 2, Gearbox pushed out a new patch for Borderlands 4 that is focused entirely on improving each of the game's four vault hunters. After the update, Harlowe does more stasis slam damage, Rafa's APOPHIS Lance skill is deadlier, and the Siren Vex got some buffs to make some of her builds more viable. But it's Amon who got the most tweaks by far, with the new patch notes listing 60+ buffs."
"While it might seem drastic, Amon truly needed these buffs. I've now played as Rafa, Vex, and Amon in Borderlands 4, and by far the most boring and weakest was the big, tanky Amon. It often felt like I was tossing points into his skill tree without ever feeling the effects. Hopefully, these buffs help his kit feel more exciting and effective to use during combat encounters."
Gearbox released a Borderlands 4 update on all platforms that buffs every playable vault hunter and emphasizes balance improvements rather than nerfs. Harlowe's stasis slam damage is increased, Rafa's APOPHIS Lance skill receives damage boosts, and the Siren Vex gained adjustments to make additional builds viable. Amon received the largest overhaul with over 60 buffs, including a listed 100-percent increase to Massive Forgewave Damage. The game launched last month to mostly positive reviews and performance has improved through patches. Players who found Amon underwhelming should notice more impactful and exciting combat performance after the changes.
