Borderlands 4 Will Get Individually Scaling Difficulty Levels

Borderlands 4, the upcoming installment in the popular looter-shooter franchise, will offer players more difficulty options than previous games. The game will have three main difficulty settings: Easy, Normal, and Hard, with each offering unique gameplay adjustments. Easy mode will feature reduced damage and less importance on elemental affinities, while Hard mode will increase damage taken, cash, and loot quality, with elemental affinities mattering more. Notably, difficulty can be selected individually for each player in co-op, allowing friends to choose different experiences. Additionally, Borderlands 4 will have an endgame "Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode" with five increasing difficulty levels, providing a high-risk, high-reward playstyle for experienced players. These difficulty options aim to make the game more accessible to a wider range of players, catering to both casual and hardcore audiences.
