The latest Bounty Pack 1 in Borderlands 4 introduces a fresh lineup of Legendary weapons and gear connected to the Vault Card system, giving players new incentives to grind, unlock rewards, and optimize their loadouts. To help the community quickly understand which BL4 items are actually worth farming—and which ones are worth spending your hard-earned Tickets on—MmoGah has put together a comprehensive ranking of every item featured in the Bounty Pack. This breakdown is fully based on SpartanGameZone's in-depth video analysis, presented in a clean format that's easy for both new and returning players to follow.
How the Vault Card System Works
Vault Cards function similarly to a battle pass. Players can:
● Earn Tickets by gaining XP
● Complete rotating daily and weekly challenges for bonus Tickets
● Spend Tickets on Legendary gear and cosmetics
● Re-purchase the same weapon for 10 Tickets each time to “re-roll” parts
● Buy multiple copies until you get the exact variant you want
With the basics covered, let’s jump into the full power ranking.
Bounty Pack 1 Full Ranking (From Weakest to Strongest)
7. Health Razor (Rip Kit)
Drops from the DLC final boss
The only non-weapon item in the pack. Its effect spawns a Health Booster at the start and end of its duration—but since Rip Kits already heal you, this bonus is redundant.
Verdict: Low value and low impact, making it the weakest item in the pack.
6. Inscriber (TDOR Pistol)
Higher drop chance from the final boss
Available in all elements, including kinetic, the Inscriber hits hard but fires painfully slow. Its unique effect, "Effigy," launches four extra rounds behind the target, but these rarely connect—even with Atlas tracker darts.
The real strength is its massive thrown-weapon damage, ideal for Superior Rafa builds.
Tip: Look for one with the Homing Replicator part for automated high-impact throws.
5. Hardpoint (Torgue Pistol)
Obtained via Vault Card
Hardpoint fires a bizarre converging projectile pattern that flips direction after colliding. The gun is extremely powerful but challenging to aim due to its strange trajectory.
● Impact mode: Best for mobbing
● Sticky mode: Highest damage potential for bossing
Master the projectile pattern and the weapon becomes a serious powerhouse.
4. Royal (COV Ripper SMG)
Available through Vault Card
Royal comes in all elements and always features Ripper + COV parts. It deals small-radius splash damage and fires quickly, making it a reliable mobbing SMG.
Uniquely, it never breaks like normal COV guns. When overheated, it simply stops firing and cools itself, letting players manually manage heat for longer sustained DPS.
A fast, stable, dependable SMG—great for clearing waves.
3. Rowdy Rider (Jakobs Cryo Assault Rifle)
Higher drop chance from the DLC final boss
This cryo-only rifle produces two additional ricochet shots on crits, allowing it to freeze enemies almost instantly.
Its defining feature is the extremely wide range of critical damage multipliers: from -50% to +50%.
● With positive crit damage, the gun melts (or freezes) everything
● With negative crit stats, performance drops sharply
Best roll: Torque Sticky mag + positive crit multiplier.
2. Missile Laser (Deadless “Shotgun”)
Purchased via Vault Card
Despite the classification, this is not a traditional shotgun. It has two modes:
● Laser mode: 100% accuracy, strong continuous damage
● Missile mode: Fires twin sticky rockets that home in on enemies
● Unique interaction: Hitting rockets with the laser detonates them instantly for huge burst damage
The two modes combined create extremely high DPS in a short window. Players using Rafa’s infinite-ammo talents can push this even further.
1. Rooker (Order Sniper Rifle) — The Best Weapon in Bounty Pack 1
Purchased via Vault Card
Rooker offers kinetic primary fire and shock elemental alt fire—but the alt fire is the real reason it takes #1.
It launches twin laser needles that circle, shred, and track targets with multi-hit, splash, and elemental damage.
Highlights:
● Massive AoE and mobbing potential
● Excellent boss DPS
● Damage continues even if targets move
● Can fire needles, switch weapons, and stack more damage
● Even more powerful with the Free Charge Order enhancement
Simply put, Rooker delivers one of the strongest and most versatile alt-fire modes in the game, making it the overall best weapon in the entire pack.
Conclusion
Bounty Pack 1 brings a variety of creative weapon designs, but only a handful offer truly top-tier performance. If you're farming Tickets and want maximum impact, the Rooker should be at the top of your list.
For players looking to accelerate gear progression, upgrade routes, or Vault Card farming, MmoGah offers reliable Borderlands 4 Money and Borderlands 4 Boost options to support your adventure.
