Borderlands 4’s New Vault Hunter Is a Throwback to Borderlands 2’s Best Character

Key Points:

• Borderlands 4 will introduce its sixth playable character, Loveless the Hacker, on September 10, filling the missing assassin archetype previously represented by Zer0 in Borderlands 2.
• Loveless is a cyber hacker with stealth, sniping, and melee abilities, infused with tech powers from a mind-controlling virus she assimilated to prevent its outbreak.
• Her unique skills include a stealth cloak called Visual Paradox Nexus (VPN), a contagious shuriken attack called Plague Star, and a summonable metallic dragon-like pet worm that can be controlled or left to act independently in combat.
• Loveless features a novel RAM mechanic that powers up her attacks as she lands critical hits or inflicts status effects, with Gearbox incorporating topical humor about the current cost of RAM in her design.
• The character adds fresh combat mechanics and lore depth to Borderlands 4, coinciding with the FL4K and Last Resort expansion that introduces a new island for players to explore.
