One of the most frustrating things about Borderlands 4's loot system is the way class mods seem to almost never roll in your favor, leaving you with mods that aren't applicable to your class and thus are 100% useless to you – unless you have another character who's the right class. Thankfully, it seems Gearbox has heard from enough players saying the same, as there's a new patch out now that seems to address this very problem.

"Class Mods have been adjusted to drop more for your current character," reads a line under the recent patch notes's "notable changes" section. It's such a small line amongst a massive list of bug fixes and other quality of life stuff, but it really should make a big, positive difference to loot and progression, which is pretty much the whole point of Borderlands 4.

I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
