While Gearbox has not spilled the beans on who the next Vault Hunters will be, anyone who has played the earlier games can make a good guess about how to put together a killer loadout. The trick is still going to be matching your skill tree with the right gun traits and whatever the new version of Anointments ends up being.
If you have played before, you know that once those three things click, the damage numbers start going crazy. That is why a lot of players are already thinking about how to prep for launch, even down to farming early gear or stacking up some Borderlands 4 Cash so they can grab what they need fast.
For anyone who loves elemental chaos, the Siren is usually the go-to. If the next game sticks to tradition, Maliwan guns will shine here thanks to their built-in elemental types and charge shots. Pair that with skills that make status effects last longer or jump between enemies, and you can wipe out mobs without even aiming at all of them. Tediore is another fun option – throw your gun, watch it explode, and then do it again. If the Siren’s skill tree boosts grenade or splash damage, those reload tosses will hit like a truck. The whole playstyle is about turning the battlefield into a chain reaction of fire, shock, and acid.
The Soldier type is all about big guns and bigger explosions. Vladof gear with its insane fire rate makes you feel like a turret on legs, especially if you have perks that feed ammo back into your mags. Torgue’s sticky or impact explosives are perfect for splash damage builds – you can clear a whole room just by firing into a crowd. Dahl sits somewhere in between, offering burst fire or semi-auto modes so you can switch between spraying and precision depending on the fight. If you like things loud and straightforward, this is the style for you.
Then there is the Hunter or Assassin archetype – the one for players who live for that perfect headshot. Jakobs weapons are the star here, with their crit ricochet making one good shot turn into several kills. A build like this would stack crit damage, reload speed, and handling so you can keep the chain going. Throw in an action skill that marks targets or lets you vanish for a second, and you can set up devastating openings. It is less about spraying bullets and more about making every single one count.
The wildcard slot usually goes to something weird – a melee bruiser, a pet master, or just a mix of both. COV guns with their bottomless mags fit well with sustained fire skills, while Hyperion’s stabilizing shields help you stay accurate while charging in.
The real magic for these builds often comes from a single legendary weapon that pairs perfectly with a top-tier skill, creating a loop where every hit feeds the next. Players who want to experiment and find broken combos will probably spend hours chasing that one perfect setup, and having some Borderlands 4 Cash for sale ready might make that hunt a lot easier.
