In-< Case You Missed It: From Gamescom to PAX West
[p]We’ve been on the road (and in the air), traveling the world to connect with YOU. Gamescom was such a blast (literally), with hands-on gameplay, the infamous Rage Room, and talented cosplayers taking on some of our favorite characters. And while we were so sad to leave, we’re so excited to be hitting PAX West RIGHT NOW. Our Gearbox Main Theater Showcase panel was earlier today, and we will be on the floor all weekend with gameplay and… you guessed it, our RAGE ROOM.[/p][p]We’ll share more about this weekend’s events in the next issue, but for now, here are some moments from Gamescom that are too good to not share:[/p][p][img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfwSJiGVwH4RLBGAIvrHaBjohgorb35yr1M68hHwRlOgGTcgZt3yUtCrhpft8afnBezWAxtIFZnSdTMF7m5JTJkqi3ivMnrEXBLc3KSCdwVOrptMI_9i-_KWuchy38CiGsi_Jjzdg?key=CmWrc-AO1hsRfwUsQtzMvrA"][/img][/p][p][img-< src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcGsoXS0vihuZk8oDLyPXlCUvRNprDoYs76UOzdAR5HBb1FrxI_b-69Vw_PnZhoKmQa7lF_Bv7Y0bHX1wjmG7GHaRLV5852AUrqTpIeHzTz2c_oKSFAWt6NSd4OduXK5nr8wnCA?key=CmWrcAO-

Quality of Life News: Sort and Filter
[p]Looting got a hell of a lot easier with the following Sort and Filter features. In Borderlands 4, players will be able to sort their equipment by:[/p]- [p]Recent (the order in which items were picked up) [/p][/*]
- [p]Rarity[/p][/*]
- [p]Type[/p][/*]
- [p]Level Requirement[/p][/*]
- [p]Sell Value [/p][/*]
- [p]Manufacturer[/p][/*]
- [p]"Comparable" stats on item cards, like Damage, Accuracy, etc.[/p][/*]
1hsRfwUsQtzMvrA"][/img][/p][p]Comparing-< an item while sorting by stat will also show comparison indicators for each item being sorted.[/p][p][img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeLlkN9r01oqnCJ-SLH05weqpdUTBfBRrxb6vYHkqPmWjFht_Z2VnDi4rTAmltOnabzweoCAONleBN7tpOe1AxTQjXg3gnL5Yp41FfGowi5vsAt_52U-vi9-tRkOFyIZwig3ACd?key=CmWrcAO-

Filters
[p]Filters-< have been a longtime request from players and are being implemented for BL4. Like the stat sorting, the filter list is populated dynamically based on the player's current inventory. Items that match the current filter get pushed to the front of the list and items which do not match also get slightly dimmer.[/p][p]This allows players to quickly narrow down item searches by very specific criteria, creating a quick "cross-section" view of matching items.[/p][p]Criteria including:[/p]- [p]Rarity[/p][/*]
- [p]Damage Type [/p][list]
- [p]Elemental damage types as well as Kinetic (non-elemental)[/p][/*]
- [p]Damage type might be for primary or secondary or both firing modes on a weapon[/p][/*]
- [p]e.g. Pistol, SMG, Assault Rifle, Energy Shield, Armor Shield, Grenade, etc...[/p][/*]
- [p]Favorite, Trash, Tag Group, etc...[/p][/*]

1hsRfwUsQtzMvrA"][/img][/p][p]Item-< counts in the filter are relative to the current filter settings. These two screenshots are from the same set of items. When filtering by Incendiary and/or Shock damage types, there are no Pistols which match those criteria, so the Pistols entry shows "0" and is unselectable. However, this inventory does have Pistols – When filtering by Pistol, we can quickly see there are 3 and we expect none of them to be Incendiary or Shock type, so those now show "0" and are unselectable. [/p][p]Within the Type group, the other options all now show a number wrapped in parenthesis "(#)", indicating that is how many items almost match the current filter. For example, no Shotguns match the current filter because we're currently only filtering by Pistols. If we add Shotguns to the filter we will see 5 items added to the matching items list.[/p][p][img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdVhYTZ7IXEPG_AbwNdzDRpfgC4CWQJahIkzwDLET8O6EfwLJ3nDstZldWvK5cJoOVBtiZboU6Wy49A98bGr36oZuGzZ5suBpMlg1NhBpW2LkYMN18i6jQFwYtFYMVBcLWUrvmOzg?key=CmWrc-
AO1hsRfwUsQtzMvrA"][/img][/p][p]At-< least one of those Shotguns must have elemental damage associated with it, since Kinetic was the only option available before. Let's see which one.[/p][p][img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcZuIkTJZzp3OkechJHLwg02kVV3lcRLg0fyoPFw4-0x9tzBN0QrRaLogtzWdrCRpYO75dm_hS5nkHManW-UMZNLDXOL9T8trbCiPJ2jFHtX_ywb747ymnnSl7ZGqdW4Mhwg6Mm7A?key=CmWrc-
AO1hsRfwUsQtzMvrA"][/img][/p][p]Now-< we have only one item that matches all of the criteria. We can tell from the Filter list alone that it's a Common rarity Shotgun that also can deal Shock damage. Kinetic damage now shows (7) and if selected will bring those back into the matching items list. Pistol is still selected as part of the criteria, but there are no pistols which deal Radiation damage, so the count falls to 0.[/p][p][img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfUVCizhqSdj5AMxYTUsJg9IMSP4NEriEVF3sLUBBi7UbAI2y7sLrWkPbP7403D0oHuJWEiOIr2T3BGkXUUSX6mnPRJ4ZIwFkhIixQM-eyZV6qiHb7sytVvPKN2aqCHu_ipwl26?key=CmWrcAO-
1hsRfwUsQtzMvrA"][/img][/p][p]Now-< we can see that there are 3x SMG and 1x Assault Rifle that would match the rest of the filter if those options were added to the filter's criteria. [/p]
Mark All Filtered
[p]It's now also possible to mark items in bulk, which will apply the chosen mark to any items in the filter which are not already marked, the exact number of applicable items will display in parenthesis "(#)".[/p][p][img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcXL-zoTcDhcIbrH1b9kusiv6a2ADTNFd6jO2EZt_vp_8SxcCAOmBNDd5BbQH5RPoiKRFZRiUJX_oMgifm9F3ndnSYseVBevOKfBlBs6HRuJ5khkVwmpiWhML1Wb9bSsQA0F6VOaQ?key=CmWrc-AO1hsRfwUsQtzMvrA"][/img][/p][p][img-< src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXd_qZ0cJ69idayjQ8n-kcEVcqGHsGgl7chl7aLh__nLd7IR7Z4Oi0_RhBzON9SWfo4VcZwH0ppMIigGHJnm998JkrpGbaaOT_hbwtZKppjI7tZECuM8hPqSvpwUn6I9s4PAQQTM9A?key=CmWrc-

Send-< Items To Bank
[p]When items have been flagged as "Bank" a prompt will appear to allow players to instantly send those marked items to their bank from anywhere in the world. [/p][p]Players will still need to access a physical bank in-game in order to retrieve items, but the ability to send items to the bank remotely works as long as there is still space in the bank to hold something.[/p][p] [img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfGsbaH3kpnyXDpkJnpXI6xF4CFUnRHfv3oBVAbH5CtzVCg_sh1rdMkRsEP-H9AI3ZPkgit_fXTHz0qoR041SxicJ2ZGybPYcOG8QFtABdVvwmlCqPrflNutol7RZg7Pj9LtRf3uA?key=CmWrc-AO1hsRfwUsQtzMvrA"][/img][/p][p] [img-< src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcth5cCFsdtUy2jsiybxGINshcqCkKMj77aEtzMDY8bhT8OHV5R_ktK-bMVOT9kldjfqRXqAlFqKV4Ttw6cVh_enNyOVYW9Nwg5GRjfTxVpnRNM_z5CjuUwUuwl4Vey71HPx5odSw?key=CmWrc-

Behind-< the Team: Hunter Wolfe, Borderlands 4 Social Media Manager
[p]Every week, we’re spotlighting one of the minds behind the mayhem. You’ll get to learn about folks from both Gearbox and 2K, and how each person who touches the game both influences and is influenced by Borderlands 4. This week, we're talking with one of 2K’s Social Media Managers, Hunter Wolfe:[/p][p][/p][p]What does it look like for you to get into the mindset of the Borderlands voice when you're working on something for social media?[/p][p]Hunter Wolfe: When I'm writing copy or planning assets, I'll ask myself: is this unhinged enough? If it is, then mission accomplished! But if not, I'll workshop it. Borderlands is all about being not-so-serious and oh-so-chaotic, after all.[/p][p][/p][p]How important are your interactions online in the comments sections? What do you find most important about engaging with the community?[/p][p]Hunter: Chatting with community members online is one of my favorite parts of the job! We're all Borderlands nerds here, so getting to connect with fans on something we all love is just really fun.[/p][p]To the second part of your question though, I think replying to comments is important because it lets people know that they're part of a two-way conversation. Community feedback is massively important to us, and my hope is that when we reply to folks, it sends that message. I want our community to always feel like we're listening, because we are![/p][p][/p][p]If you were a Vault Hunter, what would you be packing?[/p][p]Hunter: I'd make sure to pack a daily multivitamin, because most of the places you go in the Borderlands games look like they'll give you tetanus, and I think you want to keep a healthy immune system on your adventures. That and probably a pistol that shoots potatoes. My siblings and I used to play with potato bazookas as a kid, so it feels like it'd be a fitting, lore-rooted part of my kit if I were a Vault Hunter.[/p][p]
