Deploy devastating Action Skills that unleash your unique abilities. Craft your perfect build with branching skill trees and a deep, rewarding loot chase full of wild weapons and powerful gear.

Wreaking havoc across Kairos is awesome alone and even better with friends in four-player online co-op.

Who you play as in Borderlands 4

Meet the Vault Hunters

In Borderlands 4, you play as a Vault Hunter, each with a unique playstyle that empowers you with one of three signature Action Skills. Mix these with branching skill trees full of abilities and passive effects, and you can create a huge variety of supremely powerful builds.

Borderlands 4 - Harlowe gameplay

Harlowe, the Gravitar

Nothing says "power fantasy" like wiping out waves of enemies with a combination of crowd-control abilities and area-of-effect annihilation – both of which happen to be the specialty of Harlowe, the Gravitar. Using her collection of combat-ready inventions, Harlowe can dominate any space by nuking the battlefield with Cryo and Radiation damage, or protect herself and co-op allies with enhanced shielding and more.

NPCs to meet, greet and defeat

The characters of Kairos

Say hello to your sworn enemy and some helpful allies that await you in Borderlands 4.

Timekeeper

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. 

Point, shoot, loot

Weapons in Borderlands 4

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.

Daedalus

Easy to use, reliable and quick to reload, Daedalus guns run the gamut from full-auto assault rifles and shotguns to burst-fire pistols and SMGs, with the ability to use multiple ammo types.

Jakobs

Jakobs' black-powder firearms pack some mean critical-damage ricochets and can unload bullets in a flash, perfect for sharpshooters with twitchy trigger fingers.

Order

Use the advanced arsenal of the Timekeeper's Order army against him, loading extra ammo into high-powered bursts to eliminate targets with pin-point accuracy.

Not worth money you guys and girls
Okay I first started borderlands 1 back in the day on PlayStation 4 didn't know how to play it but then I started learning and I finally beat it right and I fell in love with it the series then I star t playing borderlands 2 then borderlands 3 I bet all three of them I thought hey borderlands 4 coming out I was so happy then the CEO says oh true fans will buy my game at family Dollars selling literally marked as on Twitter AKA x then he got backlash about that but yet the series is good I never played to spin off because a Thought why spinoff I like the main story AKA in main series but yet borderlands 4 it's awful 100% awful it's like you don't know what to do first because it's like an open world map but yet the graphics bad The vault hunters bad even the humor is bad and ain't no auto aim like it used to be so if you're thinking about that then nope and plus the game's too buggy to make it fun story is not great at all it's flat so you be playing and it's just boring boring you can beat the main story so quickly if you can and I didn't beat the game yet but I'm telling you don't pay full price because I got it on sale it's like a true fan so if you're fighting on getting it I have no saying matter you get it or not it's my option to not get it that's why I'm saying I don't control you I'm just saying do not get the game and there's a DLC it's not even worth it either it's something about murder and mayhem I think it's called you'll find it you can beat that one either because I beat the first DLC when I didn't even know how to play it easy but yet the other DLC I don't know if bug or not but yet I thought hey maybe I need a little more I'm level 48 with legendary weapons with automatically I high damage I don't want back into it nope not how much you level up and he got legendary weapons with high damage the boss is still powerful than you so the worst DLC I got and the worst borderlands game in the series I ever played and the movie is not good either with the famous actors so I'm saying this game ain't worth it you can just save your money up for GTA VI Call of duty modern warfare 4 or anything else you enjoy but not this game because this is worthless and you wonder why it's got low rating 3.4 that's really low

Easily the worst Borderlands game
I'll start by saying I have played every single Borderlands game from start to finish a minimum of two times. This includes the Tales games. I also loved the movie. The better games I have played a ha lf dozen times. I am a true fan, to the extent I have a tattoo of Tiny Tina and Claptrap that takes up a big portion of my arm.

I preface with that because this isn't just another bad review. This game is truly awful. They took away everything that made this series what it was. The humor is gone, the engaging gameplay is gone, the beautiful art is gone. I get angry every time I play it. This is the worst AAA game I have played in years. I bought it on PC first, but the graphics are so unnecessarily taxing that my PC, which easily runs every single other game I have ever installed on it, is unable to play it. Since I love the series so much I decided I will buy it again on PS5 when it went on sale. I regret that decision so much.

Borderlands was up there with my favorite game series of all time. After this I doubt I will never play another one. I have defended these games every time someone complains about them since the Pre-Sequel came out and fans started turning away. I defended the movie when everyone panned it. Gearbox has lost its way and lost me as a fan.

Entertaining but confusing
I love BL and will always love BL. But this version doesn't have the same storyline flow that others before it have. I fell like I spend most of my time traveling from one place to another and less ti me playing the game. There's so much going on and none really seem connected to the next. It's entertaining and fun to play the missions and side missions but I fell there's no story throughout.
