The paid DLC Bounty Pack 1: How Rush Saved Mercenary Day offers a festive-themed adventure with new missions, legendary loot, and cosmetics. If you’re Deluxe or Super Deluxe Edition owners then you won’t need to purchase it separately. Here’s everything you should know about Borderlands 4 Bounty Pack 1 DLC!
What Is Bounty Pack 1: How Rush Saved Mercenary Day?
The upcoming first paid DLC will expand the narratives for Borderlands 4! The story focuses around Rush, the Outbounders leader, who finds himself feeling homesick as Mercenary Day approaches. This festive content will bring the same cheerful spirit of gift-giving to the Kairos alongside the gunslinging.
But Screw, the Timekeeper’s Minister of Culture, is bound to screw up Rush’s holiday plans and keep the celebrations bland. Now, it is up to you to save the holidays and show Screw the true meaning of Mercenary Day. You’ll have to complete a series of all-new Main Missions while collecting legendary loot along the way!
Vault Card System and Rewards
Beyond the expansive content, Bounty Pack 1 will also include a Vault Card which you may have been familiar with. You can activate the Vault Card through their Echo menu while leveling it up alongside their regular XP progression. Also, the experience system will have accompanying daily and weekly challenges for additional XP and loot.
The Vault Card will feature 24 cosmetic items alongside 4 pieces of rerollable gear. You can earn these gears multiple times making it a valuable inclusion. With this, you can hunt for the perfect stat rolls that will complement their specific builds. Here’s what to expect from the reward pool:
-
- 4 Rerollable Weapons
- 4 Vault Hunter heads
- 4 Vault Hunter skins
- 5 Weapon Skins
- 5 Vehicle Skins
- 4 ECHO-4 Drone Skins
- 2 ECHO-4 Attachments
The good thing is that Vault Cards will have no time limits or expiring rewards, allowing you to claim it at your pace. After purchasing the cards, you’ll already own the content permanently and take your time on working through the progress.
Exclusive Content and Extras
Other than Vault Card rewards, Bounty Pack 1 includes several exclusive items which players can unlock through gameplay. After starting the first Main Mission, you can gain access to a new Digirunner Vehicle for expanded transportation options across Kairos. Plus, completing the final Main mission and defeating the boss leaves you with two additional rewards:
-
- Vault Hunter style usable by all 4 Vault Hunters (Amon, Harlowe, Rafa, and Vex)
- Exclusive ECHO-4 Drone Skin
How to Access Bounty Pack 1
Gearbox laid out several options for you to access this festive content! If you already purchase the Deluxe or Super Deluxe Edition then you’ll automatically receive the Bounty Pack 1. Meanwhile, players with the standard edition may purchase it individually or as part of a Bounty Pack bundle.
Overall, the Bounty Pack Bundle offers the most cost saving option for players planning to experience all future DLC. This provides access to multiple content Drops at a bundled price. However, you may still opt for individual purchases if you prefer to buy content based on their theme and rewards.
Conclusion
Borderlands 4 Bounty Pack 1 DLC will surprisingly fill your holiday season with joy and exciting action throughout! This will be available starting on November 20, 2025, with immediate access to Deluxe and Super Deluxe Edition buyers. You may also opt to purchase the individual DLC to help Rush save the Mercenary Day from Screw!
