One of several side quests in Borderlands 4, Meat is Murder differs from the rest in tone. Rather than Borderlands’ signature humor, this mission is a dark murder mystery where players must investigate an attack on a farmstead and hunt down a serial killer. Not required to proceed with the main campaign, it’s an engrossing distraction that blends atmosphere, combat, and story tension. Beginning the Quest The quest is started when you save Byron from within the barn at Harper’s Hideaway, which is west of the first Safe House prior to the Launchpad. Byron is trapped behind a barricade in…
Early in Borderlands 4, the quest Recruitment Drive familiarizes you with Safehouses, exploration, and Claptrap’s signature nonsense. After taking the broadcast tower by storm and declaring it your first Safehouse, the quest takes a sharp turn when you’re instructed to turn on the elevator. The twist? You require clearance, and the game doesn’t precisely state what that entails. Finding the Elevator Clearance When you arrive for the first time at the elevator, Claptrap makes sure that it will not operate without proper clearance. Rather than checking the tower itself, face straight ahead of the elevator. There is a dead Ripper…

Henry may tackle each scenario with brute force, stealthy infiltration, or even by poisoning food…

Firmware in Borderlands 4 is an endgame element for those who want to maximize their builds. Firmware is not like weapons because it will not appear on any guns, but only on Ordnance, Rep-Kits, Shields, Class Mods, and Enhancements, and it provides passive benefits that are incredibly powerful when stacked. Having a number of items of the same Firmware unlocks set bonuses so that players have an option to specialize in damage, survivability, or special mechanics. There are 18 Firmware sets in total, and they can give a maximum of three escalating effects depending on how many pieces you have…

With guns numbering in the billions, Borderlands 4 returns to form with widespread elemental weapon variety. While all of the elements are capable of harming monsters, some do a much better job at overcoming specific defenses than others. The ability to switch to the correct element can be the difference between wearing down an enemy or evaporating their health bar in seconds. Enemies in Borderlands 4 are divided on the basis of three main defenses: Health (Flesh), Shields, and Armor. They each respond differently to elements, so players will always have to change their loadouts for optimal efficiency. Flesh Enemies…
