Borderlands 4 is much more iterative than it is inventive, but the fourth game in the main series has come up with a few ideas and improvements to shake things up, and changes introduced with the latest playable Siren have certainly caught my attention.
In a new video explaining the abilities of new Vault Hunter Vex, lead game designer Nick Thurston of developer Gearbox highlights the different play styles that our latest playable Siren can lean into. Vex is described as a necromancer-ranger hybrid, combining pet and summon-based combat with deathly energies – spreading her power around the battlefield or concentrating it on herself for more of a warlock fantasy.
