The latest Borderlands 4 trailer in Gearbox's ongoing Vault Hunter showcase stars Amon the Forgeknight, and I'm more than a little surprised by how much I like the cut of this guy's jib. Amon had largely slipped by me until now, but his mix of melee, shielding, and elemental damage has now landed him squarely on my radar.
Amon is described as a "resilient and highly customizable frontliner" who commands "weaponized drones" as well as forged weapons including axes, a shield, twin swords, chain blades, and a gigantic hammer. Melee builds have been hit or miss in Borderlands games for me, but there's something about Amon that smacks of the modern God of War games, and not just superficially, that's caught my eye.
