Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford took to the stage at this 12 months’s Tokyo Sport Present to disclose a brand new Vault Hunter for Borderlands 4, who will likely be popping out as paid DLC in early 2026. Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel each added extra 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 not less than, greater than the third one did.
The brand new character is a robotic who used to work as a seller 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 primarily based on random likelihood. Which sounds a bit like Claptrap within the Pre-Sequel, whose motion ability might load in a unique capacity every time you used it.
C4SH additionally has a capability that includes throwing enjoying playing cards, perhaps like Gambit from the X-Males? On the Tokyo Sport Present stage Pitchford defined that his personal close-up magic expertise had been used as reference for this, with movies of him palming and throwing playing cards utilized by the animators. I might perhaps have completed with extra information about how C4SH performs and fewer demonstration of Pitchford’s magic expertise, however I assume it would not be a Gearbox presentation with out them.
The DLC containing C4SH will even comprise some “new story content material”, perhaps to elucidate how these mind-control bolts in Borderlands 4 work on a robotic. He is a part of the Borderlands 4 Vault Hunter Pack, which is included within the Tremendous Deluxe Version.
