Borderlands 4’s October 1-8 Rotation Brings Sidney Pointylegs and a Stray Ripper
Hangover Helper features Robin Colinson, Quickened, and Irritable modifiers, while Maurice's vending machine has a shared location but player-specific stock.
Borderlands 4‘s October 1-8, 2026 Weekly Activities are live through a server-side update. This rotation sends players after Sidney Pointylegs, pairs the Hangover Helper mission with a Stray Ripper Sniper Rifle reward, and moves Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine. Gearbox detailed the lineup in its Steam announcement.
The activities are available while playing online. After completing the main campaign, players can find the Weekly Big Encore Boss and Weekly Wildcard Mission in the Map tab of the ECHO menu. The new rotation replaces the September 24-October 1 lineup, which featured Sludgemaw and The Falling Wall’s Plasma Coil reward.
Sidney Pointylegs leads the rotation
Sidney Pointylegs is this week’s Weekly Big Encore Boss. The Wildcard Mission is Hangover Helper, with Robin Colinson, Quickened, and Irritable modifiers. Completing it awards the Stray Ripper Sniper Rifle as Legendary gear.
Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine has a new location, and the announcement includes a visual hint for finding it. The location is the same for everyone, but the items in each player’s machine can differ.
