Performance Enhancements & PS4 Pro Support
Like many of you, we are technophiles who love to support new hardware and technology when it benefits our players. With this update, you will experience performance enhancements across the board. Every map, mission, and mode has been touched to improve optimization, with a particular focus on the 4K capabilities of PS4 Pro. On PS4 Pro, Battleborn can now run at 1080p at 30 frames per second, 1080p at up to 60 frames per second, or gorgeous 4K at 30 frames per second. Needless to say, this update is an absolute game changer.

The performance and visual improvements aren't just for PS4 Pro. Improvements and optimization all around means PS4 players now have a new option to run Battleborn at 1080p at up to 60 frames per second. The universe may be disappearing into the void, but it has never looked this good!

All 25 Core Characters Unlocked!
That's right, 25 badass playable characters, no waiting! With this update, the core 25 characters will be unlocked for all players after completing the Prologue.

Two New Training Modes
Build up your skills before hitting the battlefield in two new training modes: Incursion Tutorial and the Dojo!

Incursion Tutorial: Hone your PVP skills and learn the key elements of competitive play in Battleborn. Your first play-through is solo, but this practice mode can be repeated with groups of up to three players.
Dojo: Take each and every Battleborn hero for a test drive! Learn how to slice, dice, blast, smash, and rocket your way through waves of minions.

Draft Mode
This is one of the most exciting new additions! On top of a whole new character select experience, Battleborn will also offer pick/ban drafting in public and private matches. Players and teams can now take turns picking and banning characters to create an excellent competitive roster based on what the other team is choosing.

Normal Draft: Normal draft mode will be available in both public and private matches, allowing each team to take turns voting for their banned characters and creating their roster.
Captain's Draft: Private matches have an additional draft mode called Captain's Draft. In these private matches, each team has a captain, so choose wisely! Not only will the captain be directing the team in battle, they also have final say over which characters their team will ban.

Introducing Quests
New challenges await with the quest system in Battleborn! Players can now take on new objectives through Main and Daily Quests for a variety of different rewards.

Main Quests: Main quests lets you explore different aspects of the modes and missions in Battleborn.
Daily Quests: Unlock a new quest every day! The reward varies depending on the difficulty of the quest, with the hardest quests also having the biggest rewards.

Command Rank and Character Rank Increase
Are you the best of the best of the best? Climb the ranks in Battleborn with higher level caps for Command Rank and Character Rank! We pushed the cap to 150 for Command Rank, and rank 20 for each character. Don't be fooled, this will not be an easy climb, but you will get all-new awesome rewards along the way!

[Jarod McChicken]

Cry here if you read "Bloodborne" too fast ;__;

 

[Blizzje]

Although I feel the game disappoints on all levels, this is great. Kudos to the dev team for supporting the game in this way.

 

[delSai]

Time to jump back in

 

[giancarlo123x]

Will pick up on the cheap for some 1080p/60fps fun.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

So, Xbox patch?

 

[Caayn]

4K30fps, and 1080p60fps? Pretty good deal if you ask me. Battleborn getting a better Pro patch than Overwatch.

 

[OmegaSmash]

But where are the nude skins?

 

[KennyLinder]

Cry here if you read "Bloodborne" too fast ;__;

Tears everywhere.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Guess the fan art they made paid off 😂

 

[thatJohann]

Does it have supersampling?

 

[Xandremi]

Well I did just see some battleporn on Reddit the other day guess I'll give this game a chance

Spoiler

lol no I won't since I have no time

 

[Dovahking]

Patch done right!

 

[Bluth54]

After Randy's latest tweets I'm disappointed they're no nude skins in this patch.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Say what you want about Battleborn, these dev's are passionate about their game and try keep their fans happy.

 

[Banderdash]

Stop trying to make Battleborn happen... it's not going to happen.

 

[kruis]

Although I feel the game disappoints on all levels, this is great. Kudos to the dev team for supporting the game in this way.

Indeed. The games was a complete sales failure, it was sold for basement prices in just a couple of weeks time. Nevertheless, the game keeps getting respectable upgrades. Gearbox are doing the right thing here.

 

[deoee]

Game is good, I'm surprised about the support it's still getting

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

Indeed. The games was a complete sales failure, it was sold for basement prices in just a couple of weeks time. Nevertheless, the game keeps getting respectable upgrades. Gearbox are doing the right thing here.

Are they doing the right thing? For a fanbase that's practically non-existent, doesn't supporting a game that no one plays more hurtful to their bottom line, and just put their studio at risk more?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Stop trying to make Battleborn happen... it's not going to happen.

It's an update dude. No need to be hostile here.

 

[Caayn]

Are they doing the right thing? For a fanbase that's practically non-existent, doesn't supporting a game that no one plays more hurtful to their bottom line, and just put their studio at risk more?

Maybe, but it also sends a signal that the studio is willing to support a game despite the commercial success.

From my perspective it's a good thing that a dev is willing to support a game like Battleborn this much considering all the negativity that surrounds the title.

 

[Castef]

Although I feel the game disappoints on all levels, this is great. Kudos to the dev team for supporting the game in this way.

This. They are doing a wonderful job of supporting it. There are much more successful games which get 1/5 of post-launch support.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

PC is dead, but Ps4 aint too bad ive heard
Definitly gonna cop for cheap when I get my Quad

 

[Alcoholikaust]

$9.99 New at Gamestop comes with a figure

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

They're just fulfilling the promises they made for the game. But until the F2P version launches, if that ever happens, I expect this to be the final major patch.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

New mode: Fan Pornography Theatre

 

[Jawmuncher]

Did they make the campaign easier?

 

[Lucifon]

Any idea if XB1S has unlocked framerate also? I see the PS4 now has 1080p "up to 60fps".

 

[opricnik]

Why they just dont release a demo ffs if they want to expand game? Or f2p version on PC atleast

 

[The Last Wizard]

$9.99 New at Gamestop comes with a figure

Hmm, maybe for coop with friends.

 

[Beartruck]

Having all the characters inlocked right away should've been there from the start. I played the game about 8 hours, and only had access to half of them.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Also new character, Beatrix is coming out for people with season pass or digital deluxe.

 

[Cornbread78]

only $10 new at Wal-Mart as well.

Is this worth the $10?

 

[Jacob4815]

1080p/30 mode is with enhanced graphic or supersampling?

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Confirmed that there is no fps parity rule.

 

[delSai]

only $10 new at Wal-Mart as well.

Is this worth the $10?

I would definitely say it's worth 10 bucks.

 

[Cornbread78]

I would definitely say it's worth 10 bucks.

What does it play like; what is the most similar game to it?

 

[Freeman76]

Did they make the campaign easier?

It has a campaign?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

What does it play like; what is the most similar game to it?

It's a MOBA. Very heavily focused on characters fulfilling specific roles and stat boosting.

It has a campaign?

Yes. The campaign plays like raids from Destiny. You could solo it but only with assault classes like Oscar Mike.

 

[Transistor]

Hell, I might just pick up the game to simply support a dev that actually made a 1080p60 patch for the Pro

 

[Square Triangle]

I assume Randy will tweet this news with Battleborn porn?

 

[Brerlappin]

PS4 Pr0n support

 

[ch4fx_]

Cry here if you read "Bloodborne" too fast ;__;

 

[Kthulhu]

Patch done right!

Shame it's wasted on a game no one is playing.

 

[Primeau31]

"up to" 60fps. I wonder if it's more of an unlocked framerate experience vs a more stable 60-59fps experience

 

[Ban Puncher]

 

[JP]

Cry here if you read "Bloodborne" too fast ;__;

My heart skipped a bit when I saw the thread title.

Still good for Battleborn players though.

 

[Turin Turambar]

Yes. The campaign plays like raids from Destiny. You could solo it but only with assault classes like Oscar Mike.

You would be surprised, I finished some hard levels with support classes, thanks to the flexibility of the ability system.

...you know what, now I want to play it again. I hope they make it F2P soon, so there is a bigger community.

 

[Kthulhu]

Lol, is this real?

My heart skipped a bit when I saw the thread title.

Still good for Battleborn players though.

Yeah, all 3 of them.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Lol, I gotta ask my GameStop if they have any. This game isn't selling so maybe they'll let me have one.
