Borderlands 4 Gets New Vault Hunter In Early 2026

Here is a 196-word summary of the key points from the news article: Borderlands 4, the latest entry in the popular looter-shooter franchise, has faced some performance issues since its launch. However, developer Gearbox Studios is looking ahead to the game's future content, including a new playable Vault Hunter named C4sh. C4sh is described as an ex-casino dealer bot turned drifter who "chases the probability-breaking highs of cursed eldritch artifacts." The character will be introduced as part of the game's first story pack DLC, which is scheduled for release in Q1 2026. The DLC will also include a new tale called "Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned." Gearbox has also teased the addition of a second new Vault Hunter, but their identity has not yet been revealed. Meanwhile, the Claptrap voice actor has shared his own "head canon" about the relationship between Claptrap and C4sh. Gearbox has released a new patch to address Borderlands 4's stability and performance issues, and a PS5 Pro patch is in the works. However, the game's upcoming Switch 2 port has been delayed indefinitely.
