Borderlands 4 Atlas EX Review — ファームウェア

This review was machine-translated from the Japanese original. Numbers are checked against the original; if the wording reads oddly, the Japanese version is authoritative.
Atlas gun’s target lock connects to the next enemy each time you kill, lock chain type.
Full (3 pieces) Effect
When you kill an enemy that is under Atlas target lock, automatically lock a nearby other enemy
- Whether Atlas gun (homing bullets) is your main weapon makes its value completely opposite
- In a herd, the hassle of reapplying lock disappears, and you can process by continuous firing
- If you don’t have an Atlas gun, it’s a complete death slot
The same Atlas line Atlas Infinum goes in the direction of “never missing a lock once”. Connecting with kills is E.X., not breaking until you switch weapons is Infinium, so stacking both has little meaning.
How many to activate?
Firmware changes its effect stepwise depending on how many of the same set you have equipped.
| Tier | Required number | Effect of Atlas EX |
|---|---|---|
| Minor | 1 piece | (unverified) |
| Major | 2 pieces | (unverified) |
| Full | 3 pieces | When you kill an enemy under Atlas target lock, automatically lock a nearby other enemy |
The actual numeric values for Minor / Major are unverified. Minor (1 piece) and Major (2 pieces) have set-specific constant increases, and there is no reliable public source that lists the actual values for all 21 sets. This page will be updated as soon as they can be confirmed on actual hardware.
How to arrange 5 slots (3+2)
Firmware attaches to the 5 slots other than weapons — Shield / Ordnance / Class MOD / Enhancement / Repair Kit. The maximum configuration is 1 set of 3 pieces (Full) + a different set of 2 pieces (Major) “3+2”, and you cannot stack two Fulls simultaneously.
If you place Atlas EX on the Full side, the remaining 2 slots should be chosen from a set that provides constant increases you actually use in your build. If the values on the 2-piece side are dead, it effectively works only for the equivalent of 3 slots.
How to collect / replace
- Level 25 or higher gear can have it randomly (not on weapons)
- Since the stats within the same set are considered identical across instances, selective farming of a perfect piece is unnecessary (observed on hardware. Comprehensive verification of all 21 sets is ongoing).
- Transfer machine can move gear between items. Only between the same gear type, item rarity does not matter. The donor’s gear is destroyed, and the transfer is locked after one use.
