The Exclusive Hands-On Experience


Exciting news for all the Borderlands fans out there! Game Informer recently had the incredible opportunity to have an exclusive hands-on experience with Borderlands 4, diving deep into the gameplay with all four Vault Hunters from the base game. The anticipation for the latest installment in this beloved franchise has been building, and this hands-on preview provided a glimpse into what players can expect from Borderlands 4.



Meet the Vault Hunters


First up, we have the Gunner, a formidable force on the battlefield with her heavy arsenal and powerful abilities. When playing as the Gunner, you'll have access to a variety of devastating weapons and the ability to summon a mech suit for added firepower. Taking down enemies has never been more satisfying than with the Gunner's explosive playstyle.


Next, let's talk about the Siren. With her mystical powers and elemental abilities, the Siren brings a unique flair to the Vault Hunter lineup. Players who enjoy a more strategic approach to combat will appreciate the Siren's versatile skill set, allowing for both offensive and defensive tactics. Mastering the Siren's abilities can turn the tide of any battle in your favor.



Exploring the Skill Trees


Each Vault Hunter in Borderlands 4 comes with their own set of skill trees, offering players the opportunity to customize their playstyle and tailor their abilities to suit their preferences. Whether you prefer a tanky build focused on survivability or a glass cannon approach dealing massive damage, there's a skill tree for you.


For the Gunner, the skill trees offer options to enhance her firepower, improve her mech suit abilities, or bolster her defenses. Players can mix and match skills from different trees to create a hybrid build that best suits their playstyle. Experimenting with different combinations is key to finding the perfect balance for your Gunner.



Gameplay Impressions


During the hands-on session with Borderlands 4, the gameplay proved to be as addictive and exhilarating as ever. The gunplay felt tight and responsive, with each weapon having a distinct feel and impact on the battlefield. Whether you prefer sniping from a distance or getting up close and personal with shotguns, there's a weapon for every playstyle.


One of the standout features of Borderlands 4 is the improved enemy AI, which keeps players on their toes and provides a greater challenge compared to previous installments. Enemies will adapt to your tactics, forcing you to constantly strategize and switch up your approach to succeed in combat.



Visual and Audio Design


Borderlands 4 continues the franchise's tradition of vibrant and stylish visual design, with cel-shaded graphics that pop off the screen. The environments are richly detailed, offering a variety of locales to explore, from sprawling cityscapes to barren wastelands. The art style perfectly complements the over-the-top action and humor that Borderlands is known for.


Accompanying the stunning visuals is the game's immersive audio design, which brings the world of Borderlands 4 to life. From the thunderous sound of explosions to the quirky dialogue of NPCs, every audio cue adds to the overall atmosphere and excitement of the game.
