Borderlands 4

Gameplay

In Borderlands 4 the action is viewed from a first-person perspective (FPP).

Characters (Vault Hunters) and skill trees

In accordance with the tradition of the series, the game offers us a choice of four playable characters. They are:

1. warrior Amon,
2. scientist Harlowe,
3. soldier Rafa,
4. mermaid Vex.

Each character has three individual skill trees to develop, assigned to special active abilities.

Open maps on Kairos

Borderlands 4 offers greater freedom of exploration than previous games. The surface of the planet Kairos has been divided into four zones implemented in the form of open maps without loading screens, where a wide range of side missions and other additional activities await us. We can also participate in random events.

Moving around vast spaces is facilitated by new skills, such as gliding in the air, and the ability to use fast racers that levitate above the ground.

Weapons and other loot

Just like before, a very important part of the gameplay is collecting loot, with weapons at the forefront. Weapons are randomly generated based on various parts and statistics, appearing in a range of varieties (from pistols, through assault rifles and shotguns, to rocket launchers or handheld cannons).

In Borderlands 4, previously unseen weapon manufacturers appear (determining weapon's basic properties). The novelty is also the possibility of equipping the arsenal with parts from various companies, which gives the weapon hybrid features.

Apart from weapons, we equip ourselves with other items, such as grenades or syringes, which allow us to heal the character or provide other bonuses at a chosen moment.

Combat system, enemies

Combat in Borderlands 4 has become more dynamic thanks to the ability to use new moves on the battlefield such as dodges or swinging on a rope to quickly jump from one end of the arena to the other.

Enemies usually attack in groups and there is a great diversity among them. There is also no shortage of minibosses and bosses - the creators devoted more attention to the latter, to make the battles with them more memorable. They can also be repeated multiple times (similarly to selected story missions).

Coop and cross-platform

Similar to the previous parts of the series, Borderlands 4 allows for single-player gameplay or online cooperative mode for up to four people (interestingly, each of them can individually adjust the difficulty level to their preferences). Thanks to the cross-platform function, s of different platforms can cooperate with each other.
