Kairos Weekly #17 (November 1-7, 2026): 100 million sold, The Hunt and Boss Blitz start November 6, Bloody Lumberjack is the Wildcard reward
We have no new hands-on data this week.
Borderlands passed 100 million units sold, and a sale plus two community events landed around it. On the weekly side, the Wildcard Mission now pays out the Daedalus assault rifle Bloody Lumberjack.
Official news
- The franchise is past 100 million units. The post also recaps year one of Borderlands 4 post-launch content: two Story Packs, five Bounty Packs and two new Vault Hunters. Weekly Activities and community challenges continue.
- The Franchise Sale runs through November 16. Base games and DLC across the series are discounted, and there are new multi-game Steam bundles.
- The Hunt runs November 6-15 across Borderlands 2, 3 and 4, raising money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. 2K Foundations and Gearbox match donations up to the previous record, which could push the total past $230,000.
- A new Twitch Drop, the “The Horns” head, is live. Link your SHiFT and Twitch accounts and watch drops-enabled streams for 30 minutes. Claim it on Twitch within 24 hours.
- Boss Blitz is on. If the community racks up 500,000 boss kills as Vex, Amon, Rafa or Harlowe between November 6 and 15, a SHiFT code unlocks four weapon skins: “Troubled Upbringing”, “Fresh Spray”, “Tally Them All” and “Merch Line”. Any Vault Hunter can use them.
Weekly Activities (November 5-12)
- Big Encore Boss: The Battle Wagon
- Wildcard Mission: One Slimy Issue (Wimpy, Ticking, Dazed). The reward is the Daedalus assault rifle Bloody Lumberjack.
- Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine moved, and its stock differs per player.
Our take
With no new rolls this week, here is what our existing reviews say about the reward.
Bloody Lumberjack (Wildcard reward)
Our Bloody Lumberjack review describes its Timber effect as sawblades that pierce and ricochet, leaving bleed on whatever they hit. That makes it a good fit for packed groups of enemies.
We have not logged a roll of it, so DPS and other numbers are not measured and we are not guessing at them. Some details in the review are still unconfirmed too. We will update once we have a drop on record.
The Battle Wagon
We have no logged data for this boss. Not measured.
