Kairos Weekly #15 (October 18-24, 2026): Version 1.11 lands, Driller Hole is the Big Encore Boss, Golden God is the Wildcard reward
We logged no new rolls this week. Driller Hole is the Big Encore Boss, and the Wildcard Mission guarantees the Ripper shotgun Golden God. Further down, we line both up against rolls we already have.
Official news
- Version 1.11 is out (October 22). Support asks you to restart the game so the update applies and matchmaking doesn’t throw connection errors.
- Story Pack 2: FL4K and the Last Resort. Mr. Chew now fights alongside you, and the mission starts correctly in multiplayer when the host plays this content for the first time.
- Loveless. Her Contagion, shuriken and Wyrm pet AI were adjusted. Other Vault Hunters also got balance changes.
- The patch also clears progression blockers, tweaks boss fights, and improves guidance to the new objective.
Weekly Activities (October 22-29)
- Big Encore Boss: Driller Hole. A tougher variant of an existing boss, with a bigger loot pool.
- Wildcard Mission: Old Lads (Vampiric, Armored, Strong). The guaranteed Legendary is the Ripper shotgun Golden God, and you can rerun the mission to chase a better roll.
- Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine moved and changed its stock. The location is shared, but each player sees different items.
Our take
There are no new measurements, so every number below comes from rolls we logged earlier. None of them are from this week. Drop sources below follow our reviews of the regular boss; we haven’t confirmed that the tougher variant’s pool holds the same items.
Wildcard reward: Golden God
We have a Japanese review of Golden God. Its Rage effect keeps the magazine from breaking when it overheats, at the cost of ever-growing ammo use.
We have one logged roll:
| Item | Type | Logged roll | Rolls |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden God | Ripper shotgun | Lv50, 4,817 DPS, 4.5 shots/s, 20-round magazine | 1 |
One roll shows no spread. Since the reward is rerunnable, compare fire rate and magazine size on whatever you pick up before deciding what to keep. We’ll add rolls as we get them.
Driller Hole drops: rolls we already have
Two of the Driller Hole drops we review have logged rolls, both from earlier weeks.
| Item | Type | Logged range | Rolls |
|---|---|---|---|
| G.M.R | Order assault rifle | 7,117 DPS at Lv48, 4.7 shots/s | 2 |
| Fuse | Daedalus ordnance | 4,450 damage at Lv44, 455cm range | 1 |
- G.M.R (Japanese review): both of our rolls share the same prefix.
- Fuse (Japanese review): a single roll, so no trend to read.
- Katagawa’s Revenge (Japanese review): a Maliwan sniper that drops from Driller Hole. We have no logged rolls yet, so no numbers here.
