The primary DLC vault hunter in Borderlands 4 shall be a robotic cowboy gambler named C4SH who throws enjoying playing cards

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 shall 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 not less than, 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 distinct skill every time you used it.

C4SH additionally has a capability that includes 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 abilities had been used as reference for this, with movies of him palming and throwing playing cards utilized by the animators. I might possibly have finished with extra data about how C4SH performs and fewer demonstration of Pitchford’s magic abilities, however I suppose it would not be a Gearbox presentation with out them.
