Today, 2K and Gearbox Software shared new details regarding the upcoming Raid Boss encounter for Borderlands 4, Subjugator and Thol the Invincible. Starting May 28, any Vault Hunters looking for a new endgame challenge can take on these formidable foes as part of the Version 1.7 update, which is free for all players.
Subjugator and Thol the Invincible live in service to the Timekeeper, isolated on an island off the coast of the Fadefields where they await challengers. This encounter begins as a tag team battle against the hovering Subjugator and the hulking Thol. Once one is eliminated, the remaining boss will retreat to a distinct arena to reach full power in an ascended form, triggering a life-or-death duel.
Vault Hunters who manage to defeat this duo will have the chance to earn powerful new rewards:
One New Pearlescent Weapon:
Jail-Broken Gatling (Order SMG): For each hit on an enemy, gain a buff that increases fire rate, damage, weapon recoil, and the chance to fire additional projectiles.
Four New Legendary Items:
Lockjaw (Torgue Assault Rifle): Fires explosive projectiles that will bounce between multiple targets.
Shammy Kablammy (Tediore Pistol): Douses enemies in hot Moonshine, then throws an explosive projectile when reloading that burns doused enemies with Incendiary damage, scaling with how many targets are lit ablaze.
Flak Cannon (Vladof Heavy Weapon Ordnance): Shreds enemies with a hail of bullets.
Collector (Order Shield): Weathers any storm with a huge capacity and a quick recharge rate, offset by a longer recharge delay.
Five New Class Mods: A unique Class Mod will be available for each current Vault Hunter. A sixth Class Mod will be added to this loot pool in Q3 2026 when the next Vault Hunter arrives in Story Pack 2.
New Firmware:
Active Fire: At Tier 3, unleashing a charge weapon’s full-charge shot the moment it’s available will deal bonus damage, providing increased lethality as a reward for precision timing.
As a reminder, players must beat the main campaign before they can take on Subjugator and Thol the Invincible. Be sure to tune in to the Gearbox DevCast on May 26 deep-diving into the design, lore behind this fearsome dual boss fight, and offering a look at the battle arena of the Raid 2 encounter.
For dedicated Vaulter Hunters pushing the highest Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (UVHM) levels, Version 1.7 will also raise the level cap to UVHM Level 7. Additionally, this update includes a community-requested Shared Character Progression toggle. Previously introduced in Version 1.5, players are able to share progress for SDUs, collectibles, and more, and this new toggle allows players to roll a new Vault Hunter with a completely clean slate to rediscover Kairos as if for the first time.
Update 1.7, including Subjugator and Thol the Invincible, is the latest free drop outlined in the Upcoming Content Roadmap. Looking ahead, Version 1.8 is scheduled for late June, introducing a free Takedown and the paid Bounty Pack 3 DLC on the same day.

This 10-disc limited edition release features brand new 4K restorations of each film from the original negatives by Arrow Films, hours of special features, and newly commissioned extras.
New audiences didn’t always get the full picture of Jackie Chan’s signature style, performing his own death-defying stunts without a double. For their original North American releases, these breakthrough films were edited, redubbed, and rescored. This collection includes both the Hong Kong and International versions, allowing viewers to experience these films as originally intended.
Drunken Master II sees Jackie Chan return to the role of legendary folk hero Wong Fei-hung, blending martial arts with slapstick comedy in one of his most celebrated performances. Wong uncovers an operation smuggling Chinese antiquities to Great Britain. He can only bust up the ring with a kung fu style that requires heavy drinking. Rumble in the Bronx propelled Jackie Chan to international box office success. Hong Kong police officer Keung (Jackie Chan) travels to New York City where Uncle Bill (Bill Tung, Police Story) is selling his Bronx grocery store to Elaine (Anita Mui, Executioners). When gang activity threatens the neighborhood, Keung steps in to defend the business against escalating violence. Thunderbolt puts Jackie Chan behind the wheel in a high-octane showcase of automotive stunt work. Chan Foh To (Jackie Chan) is a mechanic with aspirations of being a race car driver, who becomes entangled in a dangerous rivalry with a notorious criminal, leading to a destructive showdown on the racetrack.
Police Story 4: First Strike involves international espionage. Hong Kong police officer Jackie (Jackie Chan) is caught in a globe-trotting espionage mission tied to a stolen nuclear warhead. The action escalates with high-risk stunts including ski chases, helicopter leaps, and underwater encounters. Mr. Nice Guy sees Jackie Chan as a TV chef in Australia who becomes an unwitting target after receiving incriminating footage tied to organized crime. Mobster Giancarlo Luchetti (Richard Norton, City Hunter) pursues Jackie across Melbourne, leading to relentless, large-scale action set pieces. Director Sammo Hung (Wheels on Meals) also appears. Who Am I? follows an elite special forces operative (Jackie Chan) suffering from amnesia after a mission goes wrong. Rescued in the harsh landscape of Namibia, he must piece together his identity while evading those who want him dead.

Leonetti (Annabelle), hours of special features, and newly commissioned extras. A Blu-ray edition will also be available.
Mortal Kombat introduces a once-in-a-generation martial arts tournament that pits the best fighters from Earthrealm against the supernatural forces of Outworld. If Outworld wins, Emperor Shao Kahn will be able to invade and conquer Earth. Raiden (Christopher Lambert, Highlander) recruits a team of champions, including Hollywood action star Johnny Cage (Linden Ashby, Wyatt Earp), Special Forces soldier Sonya Blade (Bridgette Wilson, Last Action Hero), and Shaolin monk Liu Kang (Robin Shou, Death Race). Together, they must face the sorcerer Shang Tsung (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Showdown in Little Tokyo) and his deadly warriors, including Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and the four-armed champion Goro. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation picks up where the first film left off, though with several new faces in familiar roles. Emperor Shao Kahn (Brian Thompson, Cobra) launches an invasion of Earthrealm despite the tournament’s outcome. Raiden (James Remar, The Warriors), Liu Kang (Robin Shou, Beverly Hills Ninja), Sonya Blade (Sandra Hess, Beastmaster III: The Eye of Braxus) and Johnny Cage (Chris Conrad, The Next Karate Kid) must unite to stop the invasion and save Earth from total destruction.
