Watch On
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford took to the stage at this yr’s Tokyo Recreation Present to disclose a brand new Vault Hunter for Borderlands 4, who will probably be popping out as paid DLC in early 2026. Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel each added further Vault Hunters as DLC, however Borderlands 3 did not add any, so asserting a DLC character this early suggests Gearbox is assured in Borderlands 4 having some longevity. Or a minimum of, greater than the third one did.
The brand new character is a robotic who used to work as a vendor at a on line casino. Disillusioned by the horror of working in a customer-facing service place, C4SH turns into a Vault Hunter with powers based mostly on random likelihood. Which sounds a bit like Claptrap within the Pre-Sequel, whose motion talent might load in a unique skill every time you used it.
C4SH additionally has a capability that entails throwing enjoying playing cards, possibly like Gambit from the X-Males? On the Tokyo Recreation Present stage Pitchford defined that his personal close-up magic expertise have been used as reference for this, with movies of him palming and throwing playing cards utilized by the animators. I might possibly have carried out with extra information about how C4SH performs and fewer demonstration of Pitchford’s magic expertise, however I suppose it would not be a Gearbox presentation with out them.
