Borderlands 4 The highly anticipated Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned Story Pack is finally here. The premium DLC added a new story to the game along with tons of additional content, including weapons, gear, and a fifth Vault Hunter called C4SH.
With Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned Borderlands 4 We've released a huge new update for all players. The free update includes highly anticipated changes, including increasing Borderlands 4's level cap by 10, from 50 to 60. Players now have 10 additional skill points to spend on their builds, making Vault Hunters more powerful than ever. However, the update also added a highly requested feature, allowing players to share progress between characters. This meant that various collectibles, Vault Powers, SDU Tokens, map progression and many other items no longer had to be completed again with a new character. Interestingly, not all players seem to be on board with this big change.

Gearbox Software reveals more features coming to Borderlands 4 with a new story pack and a major update coming on March 26th.
Make Shared Progress Optional in Borderlands 4
Although many fans welcomed the addition of shared progression, Borderlands 4Some weren't too thrilled about 's Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned story pack. Based on this feedback, Gearbox announced that the studio is working on ways to make this feature optional. This allows players to turn off shared progression if they wish in the game settings. It appears there are a lot of people in the community who don't like the “all or nothing” nature of this change. So starting fresh with a new character and getting the option to unlock and find everything is a welcome announcement. Unfortunately, there is no confirmation on the time frame, so we don't know how long players can wait for this setting to be implemented.
In the comments, some players went one step further and requested that Gearbox make the shared progression aspect: Borderlands 4 More customizable. Ideas range from a toggle-style menu where players can essentially choose which items they want to share, to having the SDU still unlocked but the original event still active, awarding XP upon completion. Based on the feedback, there seems to be no shortage of opinions on what to do. Borderlands 4 It should, but time will tell whether Gearbox will ultimately agree to this idea.

Feedback is nothing new for the Borderlands franchise. This is especially true in this topic. The discussion surrounding shared progress is actually much more civil than usual. Borderlands 4 We experienced a self-review bombing event after launch last year. At the time, many fans were upset by technical issues affecting the game, especially the PC version. Adding fuel to the fire was Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford. He made several comments before and after release that didn't sit well with fans of the franchise. Not all issues were resolved, but eventually fixes were made and the tension went away.
Currently, PC players are still experiencing ongoing issues six months later. Although the gaming experience is better now than it was then, Gearbox executive producer Eli Luna admitted that the remaining gaming experience is: Borderlands 4 The problem has proven to be particularly stressful when trying to balance new content while continuing to work on game performance. Nevertheless, Luna recently Borderlands 4 The update improved FPS by 20%, but noted that there is still a lot of work to be done and that players who only meet the minimum system requirements will not be abandoned.
