Borderlands 4 Baker Review — ファームウェア
| Type | ファームウェア |
|---|---|
| Drop source | Randomly applied to gear (Shield / Ordnance / Class MOD / Enhancement / Repair Kit) of level 25 or higher |
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.
Increase max HP by 1/4 only. Works constantly without conditions, a non‑decaying survival set.
Full (3 pieces) Effect
Max HP +25%
- Since it has no activation condition or duration, it’s an always‑on effect, making it easy to place as a partner for the 2‑piece (Major) side
- Raises the threshold of “instant death or not” on higher difficulties
- It multiplies with max HP‑based healing (10% heal on kill from Lifeblood)
One of the few sets where the actual values for Minor/Major have been identified.
How many to activate?
Firmware’s effect changes in stages depending on how many of the same set you have equipped.
| Tier | Required number | Effect of Baker |
|---|---|---|
| Minor | 1 piece | Shield capacity +10% |
| Major | 2 pieces | Repair kit cooldown -15% |
| Full | 3 pieces | Max HP +25% |
It is one of the few sets where the actual values for Minor/Major have been identified (the source is the first series of English guides, so on‑device re‑verification is ongoing).
How to arrange the 5 slots (3+2)
Firmware can be attached 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 separate set of 2 pieces (Major) “3+2”, and you cannot stack two Fulls simultaneously.
If you place Baker on the Full side, choose a set for the remaining 2 slots that provides constant increases you actually use in your build. If the values on the 2‑piece side are dead, it effectively works for only 3 slots.
How to obtain & replace
- Randomly appears on gear Lv25 or higher (does not appear on weapons).
- Since the stats within the same set are considered identical across instances, there is no need to farm for a perfect piece (observed on device. Full verification of all 21 sets is ongoing).
- Gear can be transferred using a Transfer Machine. Only between the same gear type; item level and rarity do not matter. The donor gear is destroyed, and the transfer is locked after one use.
