Raid Boss 2: Subjugator and Thol the Invincible coming May 28
Starting on May 28, any Vault Hunters looking for an endgame challenge can take on the Raid Boss 2 encounter, Subjugator and Thol the Invincible, as part of the free Version 1.7 update. Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for this deadly dual boss fight.
Subjugator and Thol the Invincible are languishing in their service to the Timekeeper. They’ve spent ages isolated on an island off the coast of the Fadefields, waiting for a worthy challenger to come along.
When you first start this encounter, you'll have to battle the hovering Subjugator and the hulking Thol in a tag-team matchup. They’ll take turns clashing with you, before joining up for a deadly dual attack.
But once the first of them falls, the battle has only just begun.
Eliminating one of the bosses will empower the survivor, and they’ll retreat to their domain where they'll be at full power. Each boss’ ascended form has different abilities to contend with, but no matter who you're up against, it's going to be a life-or-death duel.

Gearbox DevCast focusing on Raid Boss 2 drops May 26
Two days before Subjugator and Thol the Invincible arrive on May 28, we'll be dropping a new episode of the Gearbox DevCast deep-diving into the design of the Raid Boss 2 encounter. Hosts Andrew Reiner and April Johnson will be joined by Lead Level Designer David Ruiz, discussing the lore behind this fearsome dual boss fight, offering a look at the domains where you'll battle their ascended forms, and talking more about the additions coming in the Version 1.7 update and beyond.
If you’d like to catch up on previous episodes, you can start from the beginning on our YouTube channel!
ICYMI: Shared Character Progression Toggle!
Version 1.7 will also include the Shared Character Progression toggle for all players. For context, the previous Version 1.5 update introduced Shared Character Progression for a variety of features across all your Vault Hunters: Collectibles, Activities, Map Progress, SDU tokens, Vault Powers, Vehicle skins, and Hover Drives.
When Borderlands 4 first launched, players had requested Shared Progression to bring their discovered collectibles and unlocked SDUs with them across characters, removing the need to repeat content they've already completed and weren't interested in playing through again. We've also heard the community's desire for Shared Progression to be optional so that starting fresh with a new Vault Hunter is still possible.
