It's been a minute since the most recent mainline entry in the Borderlands franchise, Borderlands 3, continued the legacy of the looter-shooter giant. In the time since, spin-offs have taken center stage. While the spin-offs played their role as temporary, if worthwhile, distractions from the main story, the fanbase's attention has firmly turned to the topic of Borderlands 4. With Gearbox officially confirming Borderlands 4's development a little over a week ago, discussions of feature reprisals and new additions to the franchise are only natural. Speaking of potential reprisals, the Arms Race mode was particularly divisive in Borderlands 3, and the category's future in the series is still up in the air.
