GAME INFO
Learn more about the looter shooter action and new game features that await in Borderlands 4, set on the all-new planet Kairos.
VAULT HUNTERS
In Borderlands 4, you play as a Vault Hunter: a badass mercenary on the hunt for alien Vaults, wielding wild guns and devastating abilities. Each Vault Hunter class offers a unique playstyle that empowers you with one of three signature abilities called Action Skills. Between your Action Skills and three branching skill trees, each packed with socketable abilities and potent passive effects, you can create a huge variety of supremely powerful builds.
ONLINE AND COUCH CO-OP
Play solo or team up with friends to wreak looter shooter havoc across Kairos. Borderlands 4 supports up to 4-player co-op online on all platforms, or 2-player splitscreen couch co-op on PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. Crossplay between all platforms is fully supported so you can play with your friends wherever they are, powered by an improved lobby system for drop-in/drop-out action. With instanced loot for each player, dynamic level scaling, individual difficulty settings, and the option to Fast Travel directly to your co-op buddies, Borderlands 4 keeps the party together and having fun through the whole campaign.
Online play requires Internet connection, and cross-play requires SHiFT Account. Console online play requires separate paid subscription. Terms apply.
WELCOME TO KAIROS
This vast, beautiful world is rife with warring factions, deadly fauna, and subjugated inhabitants under the rule of the oppressive Timekeeper. Kairos has four distinct, seamlessly connected regions to explore: the rolling hills of the Fadefields, the frigid peaks of Terminus Range, the shattered lands of Carcadia Burn, and finally the Dominion, the Timekeeper's impenetrable fortress city.
FADEFIELDS
With radiant beaches, whimsical rolling hills, and verdant forests, the Fadefields appear to be a temperate paradise. But under the serene veneer, danger lurks among darkness and long-buried secrets. Idolator Sol rules the Fadefields ruthlessly, controlling food and supplies to appease his beloved Timekeeper.
CHARACTERS
Say hello to your sworn enemy and some helpful allies that await you on Kairos.
TIMEKEEPER
The Timekeeper is the well-mannered and disturbingly calm tyrant who rules over the prison planet of Kairos. Obsessed with order, he uses cybernetic implants to watch over and control his citizens.
CLAPTRAP
Claptrap is a fast-talking, overenthusiastic robot built by Hyperion and now recruiting resistance fighters on Kairos! Eager for adventure and desperate for friendship, Claptrap is still as relentless as he is endearing.
RUSH
Rush is the affable leader of the Outbounders, who goes to great lengths to care for his people. He can still remember the outside universe and wants to show the denizens of Kairos what lies beyond the veil. Though not an experienced soldier, the iron fist of the Order has forced Rush to learn new ways to fight for the Outbounders' hopes.
DEFIANT CALDER
Defiant Calder is an Auger whose sense of justice far out-measures his stature. Both boisterous and resourceful, Calder laughs in the face of danger and is determined to see the end of Timekeeper's reign over his people.
LEVAINE
Levaine is a poised and witty woman who suffers no fools—unless they're useful fools. Once a member of Dominion City's upper crust, Levaine and the rest of the outcast Electi are now learning firsthand how ruthless and deadly life on Kairos really is.
MOXXI
Mad Moxxi is a bold, flirtatious, and deadly entrepreneur known for her sultry charm, sharp wit, and gladiatorial love for the fight. Stranded on Kairos, Moxxi has had to adapt quickly to build back her empire of services.
AMARA
Amara is a bold, battle-hardened Siren who thrives in a fight. Armed with ethereal fists and a no-nonsense attitude, she's a hero to some and a brawler to all.
ZANE
Zane, a semi-retired hitman turned Vault Hunter, is equal parts cocky and charismatic. He treats every fight like a job and every job like a joke, but he'll always have your back when it counts.
WEAPONS
Every Vault Hunter knows that you always need an arsenal of outrageously powerful guns at the ready. There are eight unique manufacturers supplying the billions of wild and deadly weapons you'll find in Borderlands 4, each with their own characteristics and trademark strengths. With the new Licensed Parts system you’ll even find guns with behaviors and abilities of multiple manufacturers, giving Borderlands 4 even greater variety for your best-ever loot chase.
ORDER
Use the advanced arsenal of the Timekeeper's Order army against him, loading extra ammo into high-powered bursts to eliminate targets with precision accuracy.
NEW GAME MECHANICS
RIDE ON YOUR DIGIRUNNER
Cruising around Kairos is a breeze on your personalized Digirunner vehicle, which you can summon almost anywhere. When you're not jet-boosting across huge expanses or using the Digirunner's front-mounted turret to mow down enemies, you can customize its components and handling via unlockable Hover Drives, and give it a new aesthetic with collectible cosmetics.
EXPLORE WITH ECHO-4
This loyal drone buddy is always ready to provide guidance with the press of a button, showing you the best path across Kairos to your next objective. Your ECHO-4 also lets you upgrade your ammo-carrying capacity or change your Vault Hunter's cosmetic appearance no matter where you are.
TAKE KAIROS BACK
As you traverse Kairos, keep an eye out for Points of Interest that you can claim for your Crimson Resistance, weakening the Timekeeper's grip on the planet. Once you've wiped out any nearby enemies, you can reclaim places like safe houses to expand your Fast Travel options, or silos with decommissioned Order communications balloons that let you take to the sky, scope out your next target, and aid your search for elusive Vault Key Fragments.
