Forza Horizon 6 Series 5 features a British Automotive theme running from September 10 to October 8; naturally,  Festival Playlist includes rewards from British brands such as Bentley, Ginetta, Jaguar, and Lotus.

However, the update with the most significant long-term impact centers on Drift Attack. Introduced in Series 5, this mode is a permanent addition featuring its own scoring system, leaderboards, and brand-new Clipping Zones, while also adding a new progression track to Collection Journal.

Players will also need to engage with this mode to unlock 1990 Jaguar XJ-S Forza Edition.

Series 5 Drift Attack Changes

While FH6 already featured Drift Zones and Horizon Drift, Series 5 introduces a standalone Drift Attack mode at Shimanoyama Circuit.

The gameplay concept is similar to a drift-focused Time Attack: lap performance is measured by Drift Score. Players can tackle the challenge solo or alongside others from their Convoy or Shared World, comparing results via in-game displays and Convoy leaderboards.

Leaderboards also display vehicle drivetrain types, making it easier to compare the performance of different drift builds.

There is no limit on the number of laps for a single challenge session; players can keep driving lap after lap to improve their scores.

Unlocking Drift Attack

Accessing this mode is straightforward: first, you must obtain Yellow Wristband in Horizon Festival Campaign. Once unlocked, head to Shimanoyama Circuit, where the dedicated Drift Attack icon will appear on the map.

In FH6, the challenge begins immediately when you drive through the gantry at the track entrance - no need to navigate through additional event menus.

Drift Attack Scoring

Drift Attack records the highest Drift Score achieved in a single lap; lap times themselves do not determine rankings.

The basic scoring mechanics are similar to Horizon Drift and standard Drift Zones - maintaining continuous drifts, speed, and angle is crucial - but Clipping Zones introduced in Series 5 add a new strategic layer to your driving line.

These zones are located at specific points along the track. Drifting while your vehicle is within a Clipping Zone grants a score multiplier for that section.

Therefore, chasing a high score requires balancing speed, angle, and racing line. Positioning your car at an extreme angle can easily cost you exit speed or cause you to miss the next high-value zone entirely.

Mastering Clipping Zones

When first tackling Shimanoyama Circuit, spend a few laps familiarizing yourself with the layout of the clipping zones, paying special attention to the transitions between consecutive corners. Often, your exit posture from one corner determines whether you can successfully hit the mark in the next zone.

Determine your line before entering the corner, carry sufficient speed into the clipping zone, and then use steady throttle control to manage your drift angle.

If the angle is too steep, your speed will drop rapidly, often requiring you to realign the car; a shallower angle that maintains rhythm makes it easier to cover multiple scoring zones in succession.

Avoid fully straightening out and re-initiating the drift at every single corner. Shimanoyama Circuit is best approached by treating adjacent corners as a single, continuous sequence, allowing the car's weight transfer to flow naturally.

High Score Tips

Familiarity with the track leads to rapid improvement. During your initial laps, ignore the leaderboard for a moment and focus on identifying which clipping zones require an outer entry and where you need to tighten your angle early.

Once you have locked in your line, accumulate your speed and drift angle; this approach is far more stable than trying to chase a high score while still learning the track.

Regarding Forza Horizon 6 cars, there is no need to chase maximum horsepower right away. RWD drift cars that offer smooth power delivery and make it easy to maintain an angle are better suited for learning the racing line.

Once you are comfortable, you can adjust the power output to match your steering and throttle control style. There is no need to quit immediately after a mistake; Drift Attack does not limit the number of consecutive laps, making it ideal for repeatedly running the course to fine-tune your approach to specific key corners.

Unlocking Jaguar XJ-S Forza Edition

1990 Jaguar XJ-S Forza Edition is a separate reward from the standard weekly prizes in Series 5 Festival Playlist.

This car is part of the new Drift Attack Collection Journal rewards; the current requirement listed for Series 5 is to accumulate 600 points in Drift Attack category. 

This same progression category also includes rewards such as Drift Attack Helmet and Race Suit. If you plan to tackle Drift Attack over the long haul, XJ-S FE makes for an ideal milestone: racking up points, mastering clipping zones, and progressing through Journal all happen simultaneously, so you don't need to carve out extra time for a completely separate set of activities.

While Series 5 update introduces a host of British vehicles, the gameplay changes focus primarily on Drift Attack.

Once you master the clipping zones at Shimanoyama Circuit and refine your technique - transitioning from isolated high-angle drifts to a stable, continuous racing line around the track - you will steadily rack up high scores and unlock Jaguar XJ-S Forza Edition as you keep playing.

Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.5.5 Forbidden Rites event created an extremely favorable environment for Witch minion builds, and among these builds, I believe Infernalist Minion Army Witch is the most powerful.

This is mainly due to its unique defensive cycle mechanism, which allows it to transform its resource system into a survival engine and flexibly command a diverse undead army.

Furthermore, its Ascendancy talents cleverly combine life, energy shields, and fire damage, addressing the traditional vulnerabilities of Witch builds.

This article will provide a detailed analysis of the advantages of Infernalist Minion Army Witch and how to build this build in PoE 2 Patch 0.5.5 Forbidden Rites event.

Infernalist Minion Army Witch Advantages

The core strength of this build stems from Infernalist's signature mechanic - Pyromantic Pact, which replaces Mana with Infernal Flame. While this sounds risky - reaching maximum Infernal Flame damage means taking damage equal to your maximum life plus Energy Shield - it's actually the key to this build's incredible resilience.

This self-damage triggers a regenerative survival loop. With the right belt modifier (Recoup Fire damage as Life), the damage from overflowing flames is directly converted into healing.

Since overflow damage is calculated based on your maximum life and Energy Shield value, stacking Energy Shield not only provides a buffer but also increases your healing output. This creates a seemingly counterintuitive yet extremely effective defensive mechanism: the higher Energy Shield, the higher the healing.

In addition to this defensive mechanism, this build offers several other advantages:

Flexible Minion Options

You're not limited to a single type of summon. You can effectively use Skeletal Snipers for ranged DPS, Skeletal Reavers for melee attacks, and even use Spectres like Bogfelled Commoner to build a tanky army of burning summons, adapting to the different content of PoE 2 Patch 0.5.5.

Strong League Starter

This build allows you to easily enter early maps and quickly farm monsters without spending a lot of PoE 2 currency on gear, making it an excellent choice for the new season's progression.

Passive and Effective Playstyle

Once your army is built, your task becomes relatively easy; simply focus on your positioning, and your minions will automatically deal damage.

How to Build This Build?

Passive Tree Priorities

The passive tree should focus on three aspects: increasing the number and damage of minions, improving your own survivability, and acquiring enough Spirits to summon an army. Let's discuss these in detail:

You should prioritize passive points that increase Skeletons cap and improve minion damage and health. To enhance your defense, prioritize passive points related to Energy Shield, as some of your health will be used to unleash your Infernal skill.

In addition, key talent points commonly used in this build include Mind Over Matter and Eldritch Battery, which complement Energy Shield. Then, remember not to neglect Spirit nodes in quests and gear, as more Spirit means you can summon a larger army.

Core Skills and Supports

In Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.5.5, your minion army will be supported by several key active skills. Elemental Weakness is crucial, as it weakens enemies before your summons attack; Frost Bomb can be used to apply Exposure effect, further increasing the damage output of your summons.

Summon Infernal Hound not only allows you to summon a permanent follower to assist in attacks but also absorbs a portion of the damage you take.

When configuring support skills, the goal is to maximize the survivability and damage output of your summons. For primary damage-dealing summons like Snipers, support gems that increase projectile count or elemental damage are excellent choices.

Essential Gear Slots and Ideal Modifiers

Weapon - Rattling Sceptre

In PoE Patch 0.5.5, the ideal scepter should have the affix +Level of all Minion Skills, making Rattling Sceptre the most important piece of gear for this build. You should also look for affixes that increase summon damage and as many Spirits as possible.

Amulet - Solar Amulet

Solar Amulet is the best base gear because it comes with Spirit affix, which can be used to maintain skills, summons, or effects that require Spirit. You can also add other affixes, such as those with +Level of all Minion Skills or additional Spirit.

Other Unique Items to Note

In PoE 2 Patch 0.5.5 Forbidden Rites event, some unique items can significantly enhance your Infernalist Minion Army Witch build. Bones of Ullr Lattice Sandals are excellent for maintaining Spirit's cost reduction, allowing you to summon more minions.

Trinchtimbre Spiked Club greatly increases summon skill levels, but it will occupy your off-hand slot. If you can obtain Ventor's Gamble Gold Ring with its good stats, that's also good, as it provides both Spirit and Resistance.

This concludes our analysis of the advantages and build methods for Infernalist Minion Army Witch build. For players who enjoy traditional summoner playstyles and seek fast map clearing and high boss damage, this build is one of the most attractive options in Patch 0.5.5 Forbidden Rites event.

When you're searching for equipment in the trading market or crafting it yourself, always remember that leveling up all Minion Skills is your primary goal. As the game progresses, your objective is to gradually upgrade each equipment slot to ensure your survival and keep your army fighting for you. Go try it now, and good luck!

After entering the late game of Path of Exile Curse of the Allflame, Luminary Armour Stacker is better suited for players looking for a high-budget endgame experience. The strength of this build is built around high Armour, Aura Effect, and Maximum Resistance, while Molten Strike and Replica Dreamfeather further convert defensive stats into offensive power.

As the gear becomes more complete, the overall damage, survivability, and endgame tolerance improve significantly. This is especially noticeable when mapping at high difficulty or fighting bosses, where some seemingly minor configuration details can determine whether build remains stable.

Below, EZG.com takes a look at the actual setup of this build and how Luminary Armour Stacker can further improve its endgame performance in PoE Patch 3.29.

Gear

For the weapon, Luminary Armour Stacker prioritizes a Replica Dreamfeather with the corrupted modifier Quality to Socketed Skill Gems. This effect increases Quality of Sniper's Mark, Mark on Hit, and Purity of Fire.

If your PoE currency budget is high, you can choose Gloves with Culling Strike, additional targets for Non-Vaal Strike Skills, and Aura Gem Levels. These gloves can also gain +1 Socketed Gem, allowing Enlighten to reach level 6 while further increasing the levels of Vaal Grace, Vaal Discipline, and Vaal Haste.

Luminary Armour Stacker needs to pay special attention to Mana. After activating Tincture, Mana can easily drop to 0. Once Mana can no longer be maintained, Link on Gloves will stop working. Mana Siphoner can cause the same problem and directly break Link, making mapping in Path of Exile noticeably more demanding.

For Body Armour, high Armour and an Overcapped Armour Mod are enough. Strength is relatively difficult to cap on PoE Luminary Armour Stacker, so it can be added directly to Body Armour to meet the requirement while also gaining additional Energy Shield regeneration.

Rings are an important part of the defensive system for Luminary Armour Stacker. Elemental Resistances Cannot Be Penetrated is a core modifier that can greatly improve stability against high elemental damage. Combined with Prism Plate, 90% Max Resistance, and Molten Shell, build can directly tank heavy burst damage in Path of Exile.

The other Ring can use Zana's Ingenuity. Elemental Resistances Cannot Be Penetrated remains the core modifier, while other modifiers can be selected according to the needs of your PoE character, such as a Reduced Effect of Curses or Reduced Damage from Critical Strikes.

Luminary Armour Stacker prioritizes Ashes of the Stars. Molten Strike's Skill Quality directly increases Hits and Ailments damage, providing a significant improvement. Combined with Aura Effect, it can become one of the core offensive items of the entire build.

It is worth noting that this type of amulet cannot obtain Charisma passive skill through Anoint in PoE. Without this effect, Mana Reservation becomes more restrictive, so additional Mana Reservation must be obtained from Passive Tree or relevant modifiers on gear.

For Boots, March of Legion can be used. If additional survivability is needed, Rallying Cry can be considered. For Boots Enchant, Action Speed Cannot be Modified Below Base Value is the priority, as this effect provides a significant improvement in PoE endgame content.

Valdo Maps in Path of Exile often contain large amounts of slow effects, while Sirus' beam can also reduce Action Speed. Without this Enchant, Sirus' beam debuff can noticeably reduce Attack Speed and overall damage, making Petrified Maps even more difficult.

Gem Configuration

The core offensive skill for Luminary Armour Stacker in PoE is Molten Strike. Body Armour uses a 6-Link setup with Molten Strike as the core skill, supported by Greater Multistrike, Slower Projectiles, Volatility, Inspiration, and Greater Multiple Projectiles.

Helmet uses Grace, Wrath, Enlighten, and Vaal Discipline. Grace provides a large amount of Evasion, Wrath and Smite provide additional Lightning Damage, while Vaal Discipline further improves defensive capabilities in Path of Exile.

Gloves use Purity of Elements, Determination, Vaal Haste, and Enlighten. Purity of Elements provides additional elemental resistance and improves survivability, Determination works with PoE armour stacking mechanic, and Vaal Haste further increases attack speed.

Boots use Vaal Smite, Cast when Damage Taken, Vaal Molten Shell, and Empower. Vaal Smite mainly provides additional flat lightning damage, while Vaal Molten Shell is an important defensive skill.

One Replica Dreamfeather uses Purity of Fire, Blood and Sand, and Enlighten. Purity of Fire further improves Fire Resistance, while Blood and Sand provides additional skill effects.

The other Replica Dreamfeather uses Mark on Hit, Sniper's Mark, and Leap Slam. Sniper's Mark increases damage against Path of Exile enemies, while Leap Slam is used for movement and travelling between packs.

Mercenary

The high-end Luminary Armour Stacker setup also needs to pay close attention to Mercenary. Max Resistance, Block, Life Regeneration, and Physical Damage Reduction should be prioritized as much as possible, allowing Mercenary to provide consistent support and survivability in high-difficulty PoE endgame content.

For Helmet, Increased Elemental Damage and -12 Lightning Resistance should be prioritized. If you have enough Path of Exile currency, +2 AoE Gems can also be considered.

For Body Armour, Additional Curse can be used together with an Abyssal Socket, while Life, Life Regeneration, Physical Damage Reduction, and Cooldown Recovery Rate should be prioritized.

However, there is no need to stack too much CDR. Prismplate in PoE already has a fast enough refresh rate, usually allowing Buff to be regained after around 4 to 5 seconds.

Amulet can use a double corruption for +1 Minimum Endurance Charge and +1 Maximum Resistances, combined with Potency of Will to increase Skill Effect Duration. This further strengthens Resistance, Endurance Charges, and the duration of various skill effects in Path of Exile.

Heat-attuned Tower Shield is recommended for shields. It can apply Scorch to enemies after blocking, while also providing additional Endurance Charges, life recovery on block, and physical damage reduction. By maintaining Endurance Charges consistently, the overall survivability of PoE Mercenary can be further improved.

Timeclasp can be used for Ring to extend the duration of Prismplate. This is particularly valuable during PoE boss fights, as it reduces the chance of Buff ending during phase transitions or prolonged encounters and keeps Prismplate coverage more consistent.

Luminary Armour Stacker has a clear advantage in the late game of Path of Exile 3.29 Curse of the Allflame. Once fully assembled, the experience of both mapping and boss fights changes significantly. Against heavy elemental damage and various endgame mechanics, its stable defensive system provides much higher tolerance for mistakes.

For players planning to pick up FC 27 Ultimate Edition, 6,000 FC Points included with the pre-order represent a crucial resource for the game's early stages. 

When the game first launches, Transfer Market prices fluctuate significantly; popular Gold players, as well as lower-rated cards suitable for SBCs and Evolutions, can often fetch high prices.

The question is: how should you spend these Points? Should you open Packs immediately, enter Online Drafts, save them for the first promo event, or hold onto them for Evolutions?

The returns vary greatly depending on the choice: some methods are better for quickly amassing coins, others rely on competitive skill, and some prioritize long-term squad value. Therefore, it is best to allocate these 6,000 FC Points in stages based on your personal playstyle.

How are 6,000 FC Points distributed?

6,000 FC Points included with Ultimate Edition are delivered in three monthly drops. The first 2,000 Points are granted when you first log in to FC 27, while the second and third 2,000-Point drops are delivered on the 15th of the following two months.

Standard Edition players do not receive these FC Points; consequently, for Ultimate Edition users, how these batches of resources are utilized can create a significant gap in early-game progress.

Option 1: Opening Packs

For most casual players, opening Packs directly is the simplest approach.

At the launch of an FC title, the store typically features basic Gold Packs. Based on previous titles, a basic Gold Pack costing around 150 FC Points would typically contain a mix of Gold players and club items - and these basic store packs are usually tradeable.

However, try to avoid Quick Selling low-rated cards during the first few days, as early market pricing is often highly volatile.

It is not uncommon for a player card with a Quick Sell value of only 200 - 300 coins to sell for 500 - 600 coins, or even more, on Transfer Market. Across a dozen packs, that price difference can easily add up to thousands - or even tens of thousands - of FIFA 27 coins.

Therefore, Packs route is ideal for players who want to avoid competitive pressure while quickly acquiring tradeable assets and resources to build a starter squad. 

Option 2: Online Draft

If you are confident in your FC skills, the expected return from Online Drafts can be higher than simply buying standard Gold Packs.

Each Online Draft entry costs 300 FC Points. After entering, players build a squad from a random selection of players and compete in a knockout tournament of up to four matches. The more matches you win, the better the final rewards.

Your initial 2,000 FC Points cover about six Draft runs. For players who can consistently reach the semi-finals or finals, there is significant potential for profit here.

Draft rewards can include tradable packs, FIFA coins, Gold players, and even Silver players; early in the game's lifecycle, scarce cards suitable for SBCs or Evolutions can command high market prices.

If you frequently secure high-value packs, the total return from Drafts often exceeds what you would get from buying standard Gold Packs.

However, this route demands a high level of skill. If you are frequently eliminated in the first or second round, the quality of rewards suffers, and the return on your FC Points becomes much less efficient.

A safer approach is to play Rivals for a while first to familiarize yourself with the defensive rhythm, passing mechanics, and meta tactics of FUT 27. Once your Division and win rate stabilize, you can consider investing your remaining FC Points into Drafts.

Option 3: Wait for the First Promo

If you are willing to be patient, there is no rush to spend your initial batch of Points immediately.

A few weeks after FIFA 27 launch, early Promos and Promo Packs usually begin to appear. Compared to standard Gold Packs, these often feature a better pool of available cards and sometimes include a minimum rating guarantee.

The potential upside is huge. Pulling a popular meta card, a high-rated player, or an early promo card could net you tens or even hundreds of thousands of FIFA 27 coins from a single card. With a stroke of luck, you might even solve your early-game funding issues in one go.

Of course, this method relies most heavily on luck. A higher price tag for a Promo Pack doesn't guarantee items of equivalent tradable value; it is quite common to spend many FC Points only to pull standard high-rated cards.

Option 4: A Mix of Packs and Drafts

If you don't want to put all your eggs in one basket, splitting your resources between packs and Drafts is a balanced strategy. 

Once the first batch of 2,000 FC Points arrives, you could use about half to open packs - building up your starter squad, consumables, and initial coin balance - while saving the rest for Draft mode or holding onto them until you are more familiar with FC 27 gameplay.

There is no need to be rigid about the allocation ratio; the key is to leave yourself some room to adjust. Another advantage of this approach is that FC Points are distributed in batches anyway.

During the first month after launch, you might still be getting a feel for the game's pace; by the time the later batches of points arrive, you will have played plenty of Rivals matches and gained a better understanding of squad building, market prices, and the level of competition in Draft.

Increasing your investment in Draft mode at that stage usually yields a higher success rate than diving straight in on day one.

Option 5: Evolutions

If you care more about your squad itself than your coin balance, Evolutions are worth considering.

In recent iterations of Ultimate Team, certain Evolutions can be unlocked using coins or FC Points. They allow specific players to improve their ratings, PlayStyles, attributes, and even positions by completing objectives.

The biggest difference compared to packs is the absence of RNG (random chance). You know exactly who your FC Points are being spent on and what the final player card will look like.

However, there is a clear downside: Evolutions increase squad value, but it is difficult to convert that value directly into liquid coins, unlike pulling a tradable item from a pack.

Regardless of the path you choose, keep a close eye on Transfer Market prices during the launch period. Many early-game Gold players, consumables, and players suitable for Evolutions or SBCs can sell for far more than their Quick Sell value. 

Converting the tradable items you acquire into FC 27 coins - rather than chasing a single big-name player - will help you build a solid foundation for your team more effectively.

Borderlands 4 Story Pack 2 and Bounty Pack 5 will launch on September 10, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, bringing brand new content. If you own Borderlands 4 Super Deluxe edition, Story Pack 2 and Bounty Pack 5 are already included. Otherwise, you'll need to acquire them separately.

This article will provide a detailed breakdown of the content of Borderlands 4 Story Pack 2 and Bounty Pack 5 to help you decide whether to get them.

Story Pack 2

Story Pack 2: FL4K and the Last Resort has two parts. The first part includes a new story, the new area of ​​Providence, quests, events, equipment, etc., and is priced at $19.99. The second part mainly features New Playable Vault Hunter and is priced at $9.99.

Story and Setting

Borderlands 4 Story Pack 2 DLC takes players to Providence, a remote tropical island resort located near an active volcano. Once a luxurious retreat built for those chosen by Time Keepers, it has now become a battlefield.

Tediore corporation has dispatched an expedition to the island in an attempt to seize a valuable resource called Ordonite and has established a strong military presence in the region.

The story centers on FL4K, who returns to carry out a rescue mission. His loyal Skager companion, Mr. Chew, has been kidnapped by Tediore soldiers during a hunt.

Tediore corporation plans to extract Mr. Chew's artificial intelligence, and FL4K will not stand idly by. Players will fight alongside FL4K to rescue Mr. Chew and teach the corporation a brutal lesson.

New Zone: Providence

The new map, Providence, in Borderlands 4 emphasizes vertical space and boasts a unique visual style. Unlike the green and gold color scheme typical of Borderlands series, Providence's design is inspired by neon-lit 1980s Miami, with sapphire-colored trees, purple rocks, and pink sunsets dotting the map.

Players can use ziplines to traverse lush jungles, quickly ascending to the treetops to find new combat positions and gain tactical advantages.

The development team also mentioned that players can combine different movement methods to become exceptionally agile, such as gliding from zipline to gliding, then using a grappling hook to dash, and finally returning to the zipline.

The island features a volcano, which Tediore has transformed into a fortified combat base. However, the volcano remains active, spewing Ordonite-rich lava across the island. Sometimes, lava will strike the ground during new world events, spawning mini-bosses.

New Enemies and Bosses

Tediore will deploy a massive army to fight against players. First, there are Deadframes, soldiers wearing exoskeletons who will continue fighting even if their organic parts are destroyed.

Then, players will face heavy mechs equipped with various weapons. These mechs can empower allies and call for reinforcements during combat; they will continuously spawn as long as the commander survives and signals for reinforcements.

This adds a new strategic dimension to the game, requiring players to decide which enemy to prioritize attacking at any given moment.

In addition, players will face five elite managers commanded by Lieutenant Harmony. However, reaching Lieutenant Harmony's location is a challenge in itself, as Tediore has transformed Providence's volcano into a war base.

Players must eliminate Tediore's regular soldiers, massive war machines, and the elite managers leading them to have a chance to challenge DLC's final boss. If you find this process difficult, you can spend Borderlands 4 money to acquire high-damage gear or reallocate your Vault Hunter skill points to change your build.

New Activities

Providence introduces a new event called Digiverse World Event, allowing players to enter Tediore's digital world servers and eliminate enemies before they appear in the real world by infiltrating the digital space.

The digital world is a digital space connected to Tediore Corporation, where digital units will appear in swarms, requiring players to eliminate them quickly.

New Loot

Players who survive the treacherous wilderness of Providence and the occupation by Tediore army will receive powerful new gear. This Story Pack 2 DLC includes 18 pieces of Legendary gear, including two brand-new Pearlescent weapons: Astonisher Ripper shotgun and Vladof Quadratus heavy weapon.

Pearlescent is an extremely rare loot category in the series, making these two weapons among the most coveted rewards in this DLC.

New Playable Vault Hunter: Loveless the Hacker

Borderlands 4 welcomes its second new playable Vault Hunter - Loveless the Hacker, a former hacker for Anxin organization who has now become an assassin.

Loveless possesses cutting-edge cybernetic enhancements and has merged her consciousness with a digital virus she created. This self-aware digital virus can be digitized and materialized, becoming a deadly extension of her pursuit of perfection, thus granting her a unique fighting style.

Her abilities include summoning digital Wyrms to fight alongside her, cloning herself, becoming invisible, and throwing shurikens that infect hordes of enemies, causing plague-like corrosive damage.

After DLC's release, Loveless will be available to players throughout all content in Borderlands 4, possessing her unique traits, active abilities, skill tree, and cosmetic items. It's important to note that she must be acquired separately and is unrelated to Story Pack 2 content.

Bounty Pack 5

Bounty Pack 5 will also be released on September 10, 2026, priced at $5.99. It is also divided into two parts. The first part is a replayable quest featuring the witch Amara from Borderlands 3.

She will investigate the phase rifts and instability caused by the arrival of Elpis in Kairos, tracing the source back to Vile Lictor's old laboratories. Players will return to Elpis to uncover the truth.

Bounty Pack 5 adds a new boss, Vile Grasp, as well as two mini-bosses and a new type of evil enemy. Rewards include a new Pearlescent weapon - the AeroDramatic Torgue Shotgun - and six new Legendary items. Upon completion, players will also unlock a Vault Hunter Skin, a Vehicle, and an ECHO-4 Drone Skin.

The second part is Vault Card 5, sold separately. It offers 24 cosmetic items and 4 resettable Legendary gear items. Rewards do not expire and have no time limit.

This concludes our analysis of Borderlands 4 Story Pack 2 and Borderlands 4 Bounty Pack 5. This DLC will be released alongside 1.10 update. This update will raise the level cap by 10 for all Borderlands 4 players, providing greater flexibility for Vault Hunter character building. Let's look forward to it!
