FL4K Is Back — But You Won't Be Playing as Them
The DLC is titled FL4K and the Last Resort. FL4K is prominently featured, and their missing companion Mr. Chew drives the story forward. But FL4K isn't the expansion's new playable Vault Hunter — instead, players team up with FL4K while playing as one of Borderlands 4's existing Vault Hunters or the newly introduced Loveless. Gearbox describes the narrative as FL4K continuing "The Hunt" on Kairos after Mr. Chew goes missing, a search that eventually collides with a Tediore corporation invasion on the island of Providence. That sets up the article's real hook: FL4K may be the character bringing fans back, but Loveless could be the one that actually gives them a reason to start a new playthrough.
