Gearbox DevCast: Borderlands 4: Raid 2 Breakdown

Welcome back to the Gearbox DevCast! In this episode, hosts Andrew Reiner and April Johnson are joined by Lead Designer David Ruiz to unpack what goes into making a punishing, but ultimately rewarding, endgame experience in Borderlands 4. Under the microscope in this edition of the DevCast is our upcoming free endgame boss encounter, known as Raid 2. We will explore how player feedback from the previous raid boss, Bloomreaper, informed what players will encounter: a brutal tag-team fight against Subjugator and Thol. Ruiz and the team created an encounter where they’ve given you, the player, control over where and how you wage battle based on who you kill first. Make your choice and alter reality itself to either head first to a grappling-heavy "Heaven" or a claustrophobic "Hell." No matter what, this fight will push your builds to their absolute limits. We’re also talking about: Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode 7 (UVHM7) and its Tiered Time Trials New weapons such as the Lockjaw assault rifle and Jailbroken Gatling SMG Taking questions from the community about the highly anticipated Shared Progression toggle We’re sharing the release date and names for Bounty Pack 3 and the Takedown!

Gearbox DevCast: Risk of Rain 2: Hallowed Concepts

Wishlist Risk of Rain 2: Hallowed Concepts https://store.steampowered.com/app/3055670/Risk_of_Rain_2_Hallowed_Concepts/ Welcome to our first Gearbox DevCast where we talk all things Risk of Rain 2! Hosts Andrew Reiner and April Johnson sit down with Bruno Fontanetti, Lead Designer on Risk of Rain 2, to talk about its next DLC, Hallowed Concepts. This deep dive brings you up close and personal with everything we’ve been working on: an amazing risk-and-reward loop, a healthy (or unhealthy, depending on your perspective) dosage of psychological horror, and the opportunity to reach a broken version of god hood. Bruno shares the Risk of Rain 2 team’s design philosophy behind the eerie new death realm known as N'kuhana, provides a sneak peek of the new Lynx tribe enemies, and outlines what players can expect from the new "N’tormat" item system. Additionally, Andrew and April will cover with Bruno in this episode: Introducing horror to the Risk of Rain 2 universe: The new DLC marks the first time players will experience a horror theme, so it’s important to dig into that. Deep dive into lore: Players will eventually learn first hand about N'kuhana, the goddess of life and death being introduced in this DLC. Before then, they’ll get a preview here of what will be unleashed upon Petrichor V. New enemies: Players will encounter the Lynx tribe, a feline-like group first seen in Risk of Rain Returns. Additionally there will be a new boss that features both mushroom and teleportation powers. And that’s just what we’re sharing right now! The N’tormat system: Hallowed Concepts will debut a new, cryptic item system that provides players with even more variety to vary every playthrough. High risk, high reward: N'kuhana's Wrath and the catch of the N’tormat Be sure to also check out our Risk of Rain 2 Dev Diary here: https://youtu.be/O7LAec_h2eE Chapters: 0:00 - Welcome to Gearbox DevCast featuring Risk of Rain 2! 0:51 - Bruno’s journey from Risk of Rain super-fan to becoming Lead Designer 1:58 - Broken builds, mobility, and the master class of the Mithrix boss fight 3:27 - First look at the new DLC Hallowed Concepts 5:41 - The story behind N'kuhana and what it means for Petrichor V 6:17 - The new friendly and not-so-friendly faces: Lynx Tribes and Mushroom Bosses 7:05 - Harnessing the N’tormat system (and surviving her wrath) 9:42 - Rapid Fire: New survivors and their wide array of skins 11:09 - Examining the psychology behind pursuing “just one more run” 14:27 - Community Q&A: Buffing older skills, how we track (and squash!) bugs, and improving loops Subscribe for more insights from developers and to receive official updates from Gearbox..
