You Got Time? Here’s My Messy Take on Borderlands 4
So, uh, where to start? Oh yeah, Borderlands 4 — the new deep dive trailer dropped, and everyone’s buzzing like bees on caffeine after a six-year wait. We get a juicy peek at two new Vault Hunters: Rafa and this Siren chick named Vex. Why Rafa’s first, beats me — Vex definitely steals the show.
Now, Vex’s doing her best Gaige and FL4K impression, remember those guys from the older games? They’re like fan favorites, and man, she’s got these wild minion-summoning powers. Think: a cat-like pet called Trouble (yes, you can pet it — major win there) and some shadowy, scythe-toting minion. Yeah, it’s as badass as it sounds.
Honestly, the trailer’s a bit of a tease. Not much on the Timekeeper or who Kairos is or isn’t, but Rafa gets a mention. Maybe he’s important later on, or not. But Vex? She’s got all eyes on her. Her skill trees? They’re this funky mix of empowerment and feline helpers. I mean, who doesn’t want phase wings and a big cat called Trouble tagging along? Nuts, right?
Gearbox really knew what they were doing throwing Vex into the pitch. Her skills? Complete mystery for now. But who cares, it reminds us of that FL4K’s beast-master vibe. And the Gaige nostalgia? Real strong with Vex.
By the way, did you notice that black and purple aura? So edgy. Makes me think of necromancers, maybe Vex’s a cooler spin on RPG classics. The combo of ghostly minions and a familiar protecting you sounds fun! Like, combining the best bits of Gaige and FL4K into one Siren? Genius.
Oh, and wait — they pulled a fast one on us with the release date. Changed it out of nowhere. So, pencil it into your calendar for September 23, 2025, or don’t. Up to you.
Anyway, went off on a tangent there. Back to Vex. Her powers? Gotta keep an eye on how they evolve. Could be the best mix yet. Or not — I don’t have a crystal ball. Just a hunch. Alright, that’s all from me for now. Stay hyped, or don’t — whatever floats your gaming boat.
