Mod Features

Vault Hunter's Challenge is a comprehensive mod that introduces a variety of new features and changes to the gameplay of Borderlands.

Data Modules

One of the key features of the mod is the introduction of Data Module items, which allow players to spawn specific weapons from enemies depending on their chosen option.

Credit to Tha Campin Dutchman for his vial system.

Available options are:

  • Manufacturer specific run - enemies will drop weapons from selected manufacturer.
  • Manufacturer specific run expanded - same as above but weapon type restrictions are removed.
  • Weapon type specific run - enemies will drop weapon type of your choice, for example Sniper Rifles.
  • Weapon type specific run expanded - same as above but manufacturer restrictions are removed.
  • All weapons run - enemies will drop all weapons from all manufacturers.
  • All weapons run expaned - same as above but there is no weapon type and manufacturer restrictions.
  • Randomizer run - all restrictions are removed, any weapon can spawn with any part!


Only one Data Module may be active at a time, if you activate different one, previous Data Module will be deactivated.

If you are looking for a challenge run with Eridian weapons I recommend my Eridian Weapons Overhaul mod.

Expanded Data Modules

Expanded data modules offer drops that normally are unavailable in the game.

For example if you select Jakobs Data Module Expanded you will be able to get Jakobs SMGs, Rocket Launchers, etc.

Another example if you select Pistols Data Module Expanded you will be able to get Hyperion Revolvers, Torgue Machine Pistols, etc

Randomizer Data Module

This part of the mod is for people who don't care about game balance.

Like mentioned above ALL PART RESTRICTIONS are removed, allowing you to drop the most broken and overpowered weapons in the game.
For example you can get Revolution Nidhogg Avenger Knoxx Gold Draco hybrid.

WARNING! RANDOMIZER WEAPONS CAN CRASH YOUR GAME (ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT SHOOT A LOT OF ROCKETS), BUT IF YOU WON"T SPAM THEM YOU SHOULD BE FINE.

Drop rates

Each enemy killed while Data Module is active has 4% chance to drop a weapon.
That includes legendaries, uniques and pearlescents.

Bug fixes

Vault Hunter's Challenges mod also includes a number of changes to the weapons that are dropped in this mod.

This includes a fix for all vanilla bugged weapons that weren't working as intended, had bad rarity issues, or were not displaying proper titles.

Unique weapons have their part restrictions removed, which allows more hybrid weapons to spawn.

Weapons dropped by this mod have '+' sign at the end of their name, so you can easly tell if the weapon is vanilla or modded.

THESE CHANGES AFFECT ONLY WEAPONS DROPPED IN THIS MOD NOT VANILLA ONES.

Full list of changes can be seen in Changelogs.
