Gearbox Shares Some Funny Borderlands Opening Weekend Stats

Borderlands 4 arrived last week, and planet Kairos is ripe for the looting. Gearbox Studios has released a handful of stats from Borderlands 4 that reveal just how far some players are willing to go to find loot.

According to the graph, 1,530,794 items were looted from an outhouse. Who knew there was so much treasure to be found there?! By comparison, only 487,585 items were looted from trashcans, which apparently means there's more to be gained from going into an outhouse than digging through a normal trash receptacle. Players also looted 1,811,970 items from boomboxes, beer coolers, and grills. However, red chests comfortably took the top slot with 14,814,296 items looted in the first weekend.

Getting all of that treasure didn't happen without a price; 2,034,399 players suffered an unfortunate end by barrel. Grenade fatalities were even higher with 4,563,416. Although deaths by toxic goo were much smaller with 349,734, those are the ones that looked like they hurt the most.
