Borderlands 4 is fast approaching, and there has been a wave of new exciting updates. Today, I want to share something particularly cool: the inclusion of what the gearbox calls for “dynamic events”. I had the pleasure of sitting with the creative director associated Grant Kao. In just half an hour, his enthusiasm for the functionality was contagious, which only added to my own admiration for the team.
Adding to the excitement of the room, a newly struck edition of the first new issue of Game Informer featured Borderlands 4 on the cover. I made sure that Grant could see him, strengthening my studio fandom he represented. After many questions outside the topics piloted by the fans that I will cover later, I asked him if there was something that he was particularly eager to share on the new system.
“I love dynamic events because it is a feature that helps increase all things about the seamless world we want, from narration to the reactive gameplay each time a player does things to [Borderlands 4] And also provide emerging things to do on the fly. “”
In Borderlands 4, the variety will be important
Above all, with dynamic events, the Gearbox team does not try to replace the favorite side quests for fans or the main moments of history with filling. On the contrary, they hope to provide a new batch of optional content which is really fun – whether you are crushing weapons, equipment or simply enjoying the adventure.
By relying on this, Borderlands 4 aims to always give you something significant to do. Instead of repeating the same missions or crowds again and again for this perfect drop, you can dive into activities that are actually fun and keep things fresh every time you play.
To further improve gameplay, they reward a variety of versions. It is not a question of cleaning a boss solo with the best class construction with a hypothetical blow.
“We know that there are versions that will be for the speed with which you can kill a boss. And now we have versions that can be, for example, how fast are you mob? You know, how fast do you go through and just erase more than 10 enemies in a meeting? ”
I want to go very quickly, grant, very quickly. Dynamic events are distinguished for their rare rehearsal in a single game, offering always new experiences for players.
I asked, “Will these dynamic events be placed in stone in each place? If you regularly pass the same place, will the same dynamic event appear in this area, or are they random? ”
Grant replied, “I would not say that they are really random, because the real random is in fact very difficult to make. There are a set of parameters and conditions which essentially read the data of a player in a form or a way.
Even [an enemy] With six different variations (excluding enemy types), and talking to someone has several variations. The variation is king.

“Then there are a set of conditions that determines different buckets of events that could occur. So there are different variations. Even an enemy killing at six different variations (excluding enemy types), and talking to someone has several variations. Variation is the king.”
He continued, “And, if you have done this event more than once, we record that too, and you may want a more dynamic experience. We respect the fact that the players have done it more than once, and the players are here with more than one player, when can we do and shoot this pool?”
Playing with friends also means increasing the bet to everyone. There will be more enemies, larger health pools and more explosions. Of course, there will also be more claptrap cries: “With dynamic events, I guess there is a scale?”
“100%, yes. There is more increase, sorry to cut you (it was incredibly eager to answer this question). There is increased density, there is also increased differentiation in the type of crowd, so sometimes you could have more elite or hard -cooking enemies.”
“And these enemies, you know, require more coordination and target priority. So, yes, increased density and increased difficulty in certain cases, for example, due to global events,” Clarified grant.
What is even better is that the game will explain what has played what and where the follow -up of the achievements and continuous objectives to adapt the experience. Consequently, dynamic events will react to you and your friends, offering living and breathable content adapted to what happened in your games of play.
“So we will vary things strongly, depending on different sets of parameters”, “ he said in short.
And, of course, I had to ask questions about the loot: if the increase in scaling would cause a larger loot pool for the players involved.
As for whether the addition of more people to chaos will generate more loot, said Grant, “All the loot is instanced for the player, in the manner, so there is no increase, thanks to the content reward, but there is an increase in the whole, because you have 4 players who all get their own loot. And then you can share it with your friends, if you get your loot.”
It looks like I need to get a group of volunteer friends who want to cultivate legendary to give me the best chances of agriculture than the beloved meta-love weapon for my construction.

Speaking of some legendary, you can expect a wide range of them to be available via the loot pool of dynamic events. Although agriculture, a specific element comes down to a range of levers and switches that we probably never understand it, we will always shoot in a global legendary swimming pool for players.
“Dynamic, dynamic events would have been difficult for the main player to target a specific event with a specific dedicated loot pool. So we have moved away from that, ”said Grant.
Grant continued, “Instead, what we have done is that we make sure that the loot pool inside any trunk you could acquire from a dynamic event could touch everything we wanted to touch. So you know, there are three types of levels to events.”
There are three levels of dynamic events in Borderlands 4: ambient events, activity -oriented events and global events. Each level offers different experiences and awards throughout the game.
“There are ambient events, where, like. We don’t really want you to think it’s an event. We want you to watch it and think it’s just a normal part of the world. You don’t feel like you are engaging in this activity, but if you follow, or if you are a very lively observer, you could, maybe, be rewarded for that,” Grant said.
For me, it looks like a level of loan to the attention that some players will surely pass. However, I’m here for that. I will certainly take advantage of all the advantages that I can on the 9-5 players that grind this game 24 hours a day.
“Then there is the second level, which is more focused on the activity, asking the player to do several stages of things, or to ask the player to find something, or to spend some time on this event. And this can also touch, you know, legendary swimming pools across, mainly linked to biome, in the world.”
So, if you are looking for specific elements in a certain pool, these activity -oriented spots will probably attract you most frequently. However, nothing is guaranteed, and the cream of the harvest will come from the highest level of the game.
Finally, there is the world event, which is a very big event filled with shows which is unique by zone.

These global events offer opportunities to win the rarest legendary and cosmetics in the game’s booty basin.
Dynamic events are exactly what I expected in Borderlands 4. They promise to keep the end of fresh game, to ensure that each agricultural race is unique and to reward attentive and qualified players. As a long -standing fan, I am delighted to dive and see how much my favorite areas can become more committed.
With less than two weeks before the launch of the game, me, as well as millions of others are impatiently awaiting our chance to bring our fingers into the world of borders.
