The modified version of Borderlands 4 is being sold on eBay, with customized gun parts and special effects.However, as of this writing, this modified version of the loot gray market does not seem to bring much profit.

修改版《无主之地4》武器在eBay上架 但并不怎么赚钱

eBay is no stranger to gaming-related side jobs.Over the years, with the launch of popular online video games, many account, appearance props and service sellers have opened stores on the platform.

"This is quite difficult because they have added a new encryption method to weapons this year, which makes it very, very difficult to build a specific configuration of weapons, and I estimate it will take a long time to perfect this cracking technology."

This new encryption method promoted by Gearbox not only makes it difficult to create specific modified weapons that players want, but also makes the profit prospects of sellers slim - the reason is that it costs to obtain the decryption value of weapons that people are willing to spend money on.When asked how the business is going, the seller said:

"Not very good. Since the game was released, I have only sold three or four pieces, with sales ranging from around £15 to £20, which is not enough to cover the cost of building these weapons, but I'm not doing this for money or profit.

"To make a modified weapon, you usually need to spend money on forms made by data miners that dismantle the various parts of the firearm. Each part of the firearm has an encrypted value, and information on rarity, manufacturer, grade, etc. is no exception. The purchase price of such forms is not low, ranging from about £50 to £100."

So, at present, the gray market for selling modified versions of Borderlands 4 is more for enthusiasts than those who want to make a fortune with popular new games (unless you are a data miner who can sell valuable information rather than those popular weapons themselves).

As time goes by, more loot encryption in the game has been cracked and released. Whether this situation will evolve into a serious problem is still a potential hidden danger in the future.However, as a PvE game, the modified equipment seller put forward a point of view explaining why the behavior of modifying the game is not harmful:

"The Borderlands series has always been modified. Since I played Borderlands 1, I have modified every work in this series. This is also an important reason why I love this series so much."
