Borderlands 4 Debuts First Story DLC, 'Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned'

A level-13 fast start lets players dive in without clearing earlier missions.

Overview

  • The add-on is live as the game's first story pack, adding a new character, fresh quests, new enemies, more guns, and a new zone.
  • Players can enter by starting a new DLC character at level 13 or by unlocking it on an existing save after reaching the required point in the main story.
  • The new-character path grants 12 skill points, four guns, a grenade, and a repkit so you can skip early progression.
  • For existing characters, you must own the DLC, complete the fourth main quest A Lot of Process, and travel to Zadra's Backup Plan in the Dissected Plateau.
  • Interact with the alien pillar there to start An Invitation, see Moxxi receive a mysterious letter, and get sent to the Whispering Glacier to begin On Icebound Shores Abandoned.
