  20-11-2025 22:48 via gamesradar.com
  
  One of the most frustrating things about Borderlands 4's loot system is the way class mods seem to almost never roll in your favor, leaving you with mods that aren't applicable to your class and thus are 100% useless to you – unless you have another character who's the right class. Thankfully, it seems Gearbox has heard from enough players saying the same, as there's a new patch out now that seems to address this very problem."Class Mods have been adjusted to drop more for your current cha

  While GTA 6 is currently all set to release simultaneously on both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S when it eventually launches next November (a year as of yesterday, hang in there, folks), that wasn't a luxury Xbox always had.
