Borderlands 4 dev says “the way we’ve done guns before is great,” but Gearbox is still overhauling its weapons to offer even “more opportunity for surprise” new features
Borderlands 4’s new gun manufacturer system offers “more opportunity for surprise,” even if Gearbox acknowledges that the previous system was pretty good.
Speaking to GamesRadar+, executive producer Chris Brock noted that with Borderlands 4, Gearbox is trying to overhaul movement and exploration, similar to the way that it attempted to overhaul gunplay in Borderlands 3. But that doesn’t mean that shooting and looting isn’t in the studio’s crosshairs too
Five weapon manufacturers are returning to the Borderlands universe, alongside three new manufacturers. But Gearbox is adding the idea of ‘licensed parts’ to Borderlands 4, that allows behaviors from different manufacturers to appear on the same guns. “We give all these parts different behaviors and just let the system do its thing,” Brock explains.
