Vending Machine location locked behind a quest this week called Price of Freedom took about 25 minutes to find and complete.Vending Machine had level 60 Brit's Bees with really cool underbarrel effect and Large Kill Spring Healing kits but it's different for everyone.Going to get a bunch of Brit's Bees guns. I think my eyes are bothering me from all the times I fought Bloom Reaper last week but I have a pattern down for him thankfully. Really don't need to farm him anyway.
 
Did some Matchmaking on Bloom Reaper got a Fire Rainmaker. Did 3 rounds and quit he was cheating though. I only got the minutes and half Mark once by myself. I think I need to grapple closer to him or get The Dead eye Perk to two slots for 35% more damage looking for a syringe so I can transfer to my Shiny War Paint. The Crystal part I have down pat maybe I can use the Rocket launcher when he's in the smog homing rockets.
 
I'm so done with Bloomreaper I got the 1.5 minute mark twice by myself but I give up for now. I just got three items implanted firmware with Deadeye perk that made a huge difference in Damage. I got two class kids legendary but they were both ripper. The class mods for my character don't compare to the dlc class mods.

The Phlebotomist Class Mod for Harlowe is definitely the best depending on what spec you are using. I got a handful doing rifts but I sometimes change it out depending on mobs or bosses.

Pretty sure that is what I have equipped it has Extra Boss Damage I got this crazy 85% Shotgun Damage enhancement with a Gold Key. Basically melts Bloomreaper with the right skills equipped. Everyone used delayed Torgue stickies but I found they don't do much Damage. Might of been good for level 50 but 60 is different.
 
Joined a few Co-ops this morning got a good selection of Rainmakers I got a Torgue Sticky Raimaker but it's not as fun as a regular one. Says it's worth alot of money in my Backpack compared to the regular ones I own. I can solo Bloom Reaper really good the guys on Reddit said to use x3 Deadeye Firmwares for Crtical Damage then use x2 High Calibur Firmwares does some pretty good damage on Bloom. You need to do Co-op to get the Better drops got a few Class Mods Legendary but nothing I can really use.
My Favorite gun is still Brit's Bees with the Undebarrel that shoot rockets really a crazy gun I got it in the Vending Machine last week.

This guy helped me out on about x6 runs of BloomReaper the problem with Matchmaker I was with a level 38 guy for a while he had Cash =) Then a level 54 guy but this person was a level 60 and did alot of Damage with I think the gun she had equipped for the 2nd stage with the smoke. I would launch Rockets but sometime Bloom would jump in the wrong direction and they would attack Trash Mobs instead. This one time playing alone I really got some good Homing Rockets with Ordanace in Blooms eye was setup just right. I think I need to get Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode 2 3 4 and 5 Unlocked now I never got around to it I think I can take Bloom at UVHM 2 anyway solo. I had a Backpack of aboutr 15 Rainmakers when I was done sold all the Junk ones.
 
Watching videos of people using The Mantra Shotgun. I never tried it before Damage looks Insane I have a Auto Scoot but have no good Pistol enhancements.

Unlocked UVH2 shield goes down faster have 44k shield but I defeated Bloom Reaper on UVHM 2. I know when I get to UVH 3 or 4 its going goto be rough due to Gear scaling.
 
Just got to UVHM 4 tried Bloom Reaper took 3 tries I defeated him at Silver Tire at this level the Adds knock you all over the place sometimes out of bound where you drop and just fall. I opened a Gold Chest at the Speak Easy and got a really good Rep Kit Shiny War Paint but the Recharge was too slow so you do get alot better drops at UVHM I was wondering what the scaling would be like. You have to defeat all 3 Primorial valuts for
UVHM 5 didn't feel like running all of those tonight. I think I just need a better Bod now since I'm 3 levels above the one I have.

Killed Bloom at UVHM 6 not for the faint of Heart solo the adds are nuts at this level. I'm not really sure if I can get better gear see what happens. I might farm for a Bod later on today see what drops.
My Eridum and Cash is bugged because someone hacked my game along time ago. Not sure who it was

Got two Corosive Rainmakers from Bloom Reaper UVHM 1 I tried farming a better Bod at UVHM 6 got two to drop but the stats were the same basically or worse. So went back to UVHM 1.
I can get 1.5 mintues like 75% of the time depends what he does and if he stagger I lauch my passive rocket at him for the 2nd stage that hone for a few seconds then use the Bod at the same time.

Be Carefull playing online lots of Hacks had a Dirt Bag join my game he had a Audio file from the game loop every few seconds. I thought it was a quest he didn't complete but when I completed it the Voice actor audio clip was still playing had to reload a Save file from a few hours back to fix it.

My best machines were a really good Linebacker level 60 with shock that I still use for Bloom and Brits Bees with rocket underbarrel level 60 I did get a Whisky Foxtrot Machine but was level 50. I have like 260 hours in this game last game I racked that many hours was Duke Nukem forever another Gearbox game.

I have my Amon build partially speced to a Mobalytics build and the rest what I wanted, it's deals a huge amount of damage while also has high survivability at UVH6.
My current load out is all level 60 gear:
wombo combo in all four elements
raiding darkbeast submachine gun
castigating canillated bully pistol
ballistic storming bod shotgun
collateral storming bod and the triple bypass repkit and super soldier shield.

I was using the wrong shield for along time on Bloom Reaper I thought an Energy Shield would be better it's ok for when your in the air. But if you go right next to him and take alot of damage you can die. So I changed it to a Protein Shield that he drops which drops health packs and oversheilds as I'm shooting him I'm not dying as much now. I wonder if they tweaked Bloom in the recent patch he does different stuff.
I speced in Ordance for my Specilization so I can kill him faster in the 2nd stage I just hop on a differnent Pillar and prefire my rocket laucher just as he's filling the room full of smoke.

I think I got every type of Rainmaker you can get now have Radioactive Corrosive Shock Frost Fire and the regular ones. The best scope on them is the full circle one if you ask me other stuff just gets in the way of the line of sight.

Finally got the Best Pearl in the game to drop I think it took me about 80-90 runs over a few weeks. The scope is a ugly spider web though but it's still useable.
Crazy Earl is basically a Randy Pitchford voiced over Boss. I respeced Ordance to the Max to make the runs easier. My specialization level is 82-83.

I was on UVHM 6 which give a 1% chance drop rate its .1% with UVH mode off. Not sure if that is accurate.

If you are holding out to try the game when its 5.00 you are going to miss out on Multi-player unless you know somone else Blomreaper Boss runs are dead already. Next Raid Boss is in two weeks.

I'm grinding the Guns I missed in first Bounty pack just got a shotgun Doe from Bore Tex.
Update: The Doe Shotgun works great for the 1st part of Bloom Reaper. I got another Pearl from the last boss of the DLC but it's a really bad Assault Rifle.
I'm pretty much done with this game untill the Raid Boss or level Cap I hope there isn't a Level Cap actually I spent tons of time getting my level 60 gear.

Starting on May 28, any Vault Hunters looking for an endgame challenge can take on the Raid Boss 2 encounter, Subjugator and Thol the Invincible, as part of the free Version 1.7 update!



Starting on May 28, any Vault Hunters looking for an endgame challenge can take on the Raid Boss 2 encounter, Subjugator and Thol the Invincible, as part of the free Version 1.7 update. Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for this deadly dual boss fight.


Subjugator and Thol the Invincible are languishing in their service to the Timekeeper. They’ve spent ages isolated on an island off the coast of the Fadefields, waiting for a worthy challenger to come along.


When you first start this encounter, you'll have to battle the hovering Subjugator and the hulking Thol in a tag-team matchup. They’ll take turns clashing with you, before joining up for a deadly dual attack.

But once the first of them falls, the battle has only just begun.

Eliminating one of the bosses will empower the survivor, and they’ll retreat to their domain where they'll be at full power. Each boss’ ascended form has different abilities to contend with, but no matter who you're up against, it's going to be a life-or-death duel.

Subjugator and Thol the Invincible loot drops​

Should you manage to put down Subjugator and Thol the Invincible, you'll have a chance at some powerful new rewards. Here's a list of the precious gear drops you can farm from Raid Boss 2:

  • 1 new Pearlescent weapon:
    • Jail-Broken Gatling (Ripper SMG): For each hit on an enemy, gain a buff that increases fire rate, damage, weapon recoil, and the chance to fire additional projectiles
  • 4 new Legendary items:
    • Lockjaw (Torgue Assault Rifle): Fires explosive projectiles that bounce between multiple targets
    • Shammy Kablammy (Tediore Pistol): Douses enemies in hot Moonshine, then throws an explosive projectile when reloading that burns doused enemies with Incendiary damage, scaling with how many targets you lit ablaze
    • Flak Cannon (Vladof Heavy Weapon Ordnance): Shred your enemies with a hail of bullets
    • Collector (Order Shield): Weather any storm with this Energy Shield that has a huge capacity and a quick recharge rate, offset by a longer recharge delay
  • 5 new Class Mods:
    • Each Vault Hunter has a unique Class Mod in Subjugator and Thol the Invincible's loot table. When the sixth Vault Hunter joins Borderlands 4 as part of Story Pack 2* in Q3 2026, a Class Mod unique to them will also be added to this same pool of possible Subjugator and Thol the Invincible drops.
  • New firmware:
    • Active Fire: At Tier 3, unleashing a charge weapon's full-charge shot the moment it's available will deal bonus damage, providing increased lethality as a reward for your precision timing
As a reminder, for raid bosses, you'll need to beat the main campaign before you can take on Subjugator and Thol the Invincible; if you haven’t yet, make sure to finish that up so you're ready to throw down on May 28.

In addition, for all you dedicated Vault Hunters who have been pushing the highest Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (UVHM) levels, Version 1.7 will fittingly add UVHM Level 7 to further test your skills and builds, compounding the endgame difficulty even further.


b93d140c28ba77b16e31a784ab0131d0d0569518.jpg


Shared Character Progression toggle​

Version 1.7 will also include the Shared Character Progression toggle for all players. For context, the previous Version 1.5 update introduced Shared Character Progression for a variety of features across all your Vault Hunters: Collectibles, Activities, Map Progress, SDU tokens, Vault Powers, Vehicle skins, and Hover Drives.

When Borderlands 4 first launched, players had requested Shared Progression to bring their discovered collectibles and unlocked SDUs with them across characters, removing the need to repeat content they've already completed and weren't interested in playing through again. We've also heard the community's desire for Shared Progression to be optional so that starting fresh with a new Vault Hunter is still possible.

When Version 1.7 goes live on May 28, the new Shared Character Progression toggle will let you roll a new Vault Hunter with a completely clean slate if you so choose. If you've been wanting to rediscover Kairos with a new character as if you're experiencing the world for the first time, you'll have that option. Thanks for your patience as we worked to make sure this feature accommodated players no matter their preference of playstyle.

It looks fun, hopefully it's not like bloom reaper, at UVH6 that boss was a bitch.

I started playing Vex since the other characters are Lackluster guess she's suppose to be Goth says in her one liners. Luckily I could transfer all my Weapons to her using the Bank I gave her a Wombo Combo and a Bod that I farmed with Harlow along with a Rainmaker and Doe Shot. It's good to keep duplicates. I dumped about 50 Harlowe Class mods to make room for Vex stuff. Running Story Pack 1 again to get the better Enhancments. I forgot to Post the Last Randy Pitchford twitter thing for Golden Keys missed it too. I'm using the Witchy Twitchy Fingers Skill Tree I got a really good fire rate with that tree. The skills is ok I haven't tried all the Minions. I might have to switch the Skill Tree around again because I used a level 50 one from Moby.
 
Vex was my fave. Haven't played in a while but the kinetic dmg/blood (or vamp/whatever) build melted pretty much everything. The Bod was objectively stronger but I had the most fun popping heads reloading insanely fast with the Hot Slugger.

The Hot Slugger is the unsung hero in BL4. I used it on both my Harlowe and Vex and it is the undisputed one shot champ. It works great on Harlowe with the Critical Funding skill.
