Borderlands 4 Gadget Ahoy Review — ファームウェア
| Type | ファームウェア |
|---|---|
| Drop source | Randomly granted to gear (Shield / Ordnance / Class MOD / Enhancement / Repair Kit) of Lv25 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.
When you get a kill with grenades etc. using Odance, overall firepower increases, throwing activation type.
Full (3 pieces) Effect
Damage +20% with Odance skill (15 seconds)
- The 15-second duration is relatively long. Once activated, it’s easy to maintain.
- It synergizes with reduced Odance cooldown.
- You can handle mobs with Odance → then shred bosses with guns while the buff is active, creating that order.
Even on the same Odance axis, Get Throwin’ amplifies the throws themselves. If you want the buff, use this; if you want to increase the number of throws, use that.
How many to activate?
Firmware’s effect changes in stages depending on how many of the same set you have equipped.
| Tier | Required | Effect of Gadget Ahoy |
|---|---|---|
| Minor | 1 piece | (unverified) |
| Major | 2 pieces | (unverified) |
| Full | 3 pieces | Damage +20% with Odance skill (15 seconds) |
The exact values for Minor / Major are unverified. Minor (1 piece) and Major (2 pieces) provide a set-specific constant increase, and there is no reliable public source listing the exact values for all 21 sets. This page will be updated once confirmed on actual hardware.
How to arrange the 5 slots (3+2)
Firmware applies to the 5 slots other than weapons — Shield / Odance / Class MOD / Enhancement / Repair Kit. The maximum configuration is one set of 3 pieces (Full) + another set of 2 pieces (Major) as a “3+2”, and you cannot stack two Fulls simultaneously.
If you place Gadget Ahoy on the Full side, the remaining 2 slots should be filled with a set that provides a constant increase you actually use in your build. If the values on the 2-piece side are dead, it effectively works only for three slots.
Acquisition & Swapping
- It appears randomly on gear level 25 or higher (not on weapons).
- Since the stats within the same set are considered identical across instances, selective farming of perfect pieces is unnecessary (observed on hardware; comprehensive verification of all 21 sets is ongoing).
- Gear can be transferred between items 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 a one-time lock.
