borderlands 4 to Feature 200 Collectibles Scattered Across Planet Kairos
Gearbox Software’s highly anticipated title, borderlands 4, is set to offer players a wealth of hidden items to discover. According to Randy Pitchford, the game will include approximately 200 collectibles strategically placed throughout the planet Kairos.
Pitchford detailed the progress process in a complete thread on X (formerly Twitter). He explained that the studio focused on creating a vast, seamless world and ensuring it was densely populated with content. To facilitate exploration of the planet’s notable vistas and remote locations, the team incorporated new mobility features. Players will have access to abilities such as double-jumping, grappling, dashing, and gliding.
The idea for these collectibles emerged from a desire to reward players for reaching challenging, hard-to-access areas. Graeme Timmons,Borderlands 4‘s Creative Director,collaborated with designers,artists,and engineers to devise a narrative for these hidden items.
Pitchford shared the in-universe clarification: a crate, purchased by a resident of the moon elpis from their preferred vendor, was caught in a cataclysm. This event sent the crate hurtling towards Kairos, where it broke apart, scattering its contents – the collectibles – across the planet. These collectibles are identified as marcus Kincaid bobbleheads, a nod to the proprietor of Pandora’s weapon vending machines.
Borderlands 4 is scheduled for release on September 12, 2025.
