Borderlands 4, the latest installment in the popular Borderlands franchise, has announced the addition of a new Vault Hunter as part of its paid Story Pack DLCs. According to the developers, they used first-person footage of Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford throwing cards to help animate the new character's unique abilities. The developers claimed that Pitchford and the new Vault Hunter have "a lot in common," suggesting that the character's design and abilities may be inspired by Pitchford's own mannerisms and skills.
