Siren Powers in Borderlands 4 Combine the Best Elements of BL2 and BL3’s Vault Hunters

Sure, here’s a revamped version with a casual, human touch:

So, Borderlands 4! Yeah, the folks who basically invented the looter-shooter genre are back after, like, six years. Crazy, right? The trailer just dropped, and everyone’s buzzing about it. It shows off these two new Vault Hunters — Rafa and the Siren Vex — and I gotta say, it’s got people hyped. Gearbox is throwing a bunch of new movement tricks in there too, which should make things feel smoother. Anyway, when the reveal trailer came out, a lot of fans were like, “Who are these people?” But today’s gameplay footage? It’s like, yup, Borderlands still rocks.

Now, about this Timekeeper character. Didn’t feature much, honestly. But there’s some juicy lore about Kairos. We see Rafa, this ex-Tediore soldier, and lots of Vex, who’s a Siren. Sirens? They’re always a big deal in Borderlands. We’ll have to wait and see what Vex’s deal is in the grand scheme. So far, though, her abilities look like they took the best bits from fan favorites Gaige and FL4K.

Speaking of FL4K and Gaige — no extra Vault Hunters from DLCs in Borderlands 3, right? Out of the original four, FL4K totally stood out with their beast-master thing. And Gaige from BL2? Loved her techno vibes. Vex seems to channel both. Players who liked either are like, “Okay, gotta see this.”

Vex has these two skill trees so far. One lets her grow phase wings — cool, right? And the other has a big cat sidekick named Trouble. Kinda gives me FL4K’s pet vibes mixed with Gaige’s Deathtrap. Also, you can pet Trouble in the game. Priorities, I guess.

And the elements! You can tweak Trouble’s damage type, so builds are totally customizable. Vex has a third skill tree too, but it’s mostly a mystery. We know there’s this shadowy figure with a scythe, though. Feels like we’re mixing Gaige’s tech with some dark, new stuff.

Vex is looking like an epic blend of those two other characters. Her black and purple aura screams necromancer — wonder how Gaige feels about that. But who doesn’t love a good pet-based build, right? Borderlands 4 definitely offers the best of both worlds from the last two games. We’ll see how it all plays out when it releases. But if you liked Gaige or FL4K, Vex should feel pretty familiar. Can’t wait to dive in!
