The Borderlands sequence has an enormous provide of characters you possibly can pull off at any time on Gearbox, and lots of of them are fan favorites. With the discharge of Borderlands 4, we gained extra characters, however ended up dropping many others.
After the occasions of Borderlands 3, the crew break up as much as seek for Lilith. In fact, now that she’s been discovered, there might be any variety of them hidden away in future DLC.
The Mad Ellie and Vault of the Damned DLC already added Ellie to Borderlands 4, however there are many different characters to select from.

Lord Hammerlock
and wainwright
For the time being, Lord Hammerlock is a serious character within the Borderlands sequence. He has appeared in Borderlands 2, The Pre-Sequel, and Borderlands 3.
It nearly looks like a criminal offense that he did not seem in Borderlands 4, however we get it. After the occasions of the Weapons, Love, and Tentacles DLC, he’s dwelling his finest life with Wainwright Jacobs. It could nonetheless be good to get updates on what is going on on with him and his partner.
Maybe they may go to Kairos to verify on Lilith, or possibly keep at a speakeasy. In any case, they love spending time in spooky locations.

athena
After retirement
It’s possible you’ll keep in mind Athena as a serious character from Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. In any case, she is without doubt one of the 4 playable Vault Hunters within the base sport, and was chosen by most gamers for her shield-throwing motion talent.
On the finish of the pre-sequel, Athena is captured by the Crimson Raiders and about to be executed, however is saved by The Watcher on the final second. Since then, she has deserted her mercenary life to cool down with a girlfriend.
It is nice to see Athena talked about once more since The Watcher appeared in Borderlands 4, particularly since she performed a giant function in Elpis, however she now lives on Pandora.

Franc
enterprise guide
To be trustworthy, I wasn’t a giant fan of the New Tales from the Borderlands video games, however the characters, particularly the Tediore Troopers, left a long-lasting impression on me. One of many principal characters on this story-based sport is Fran, an offended frog store proprietor.
Every of the characters in New Tales from the Borderlands has their very own day, however Fran stands out as one of many higher ones. The gang ended the sport by beginning a company consulting enterprise, however it could be fascinating to see all of them return in a future Borderlands 4 DLC.
Now that the Timekeeper is gone, it is easy to think about their consulting enterprise being concerned in some form of vault shenanigans on Kairos.

Dr.Zed
Who wants therapeutic?
Sadly, Dr. Zed did not seem in Borderlands 3 exterior of the usual merchandising machine. The explanation for his absence was not revealed in-game, however the voice actor was reportedly coping with well being points throughout improvement.
Zed remains to be nowhere to be seen in Borderlands 4, with the character solely being talked about within the merchandising machines round Kairos. That is unusual since he has by no means been to Kairos, however the DLC could repair that.
Maybe Zed is displaying as much as assist Lilith. It is because she is clearly poor in essential vitamins after her lengthy keep within the Part Dimension. It is exhausting to say, however it looks like a criminal offense that he is been lacking for thus lengthy.

mordecai
B crew
The core crew within the authentic Borderlands title consisted of Lilith, Mordecai, Brick, and Roland. In Borderlands 2, the crew helped the Vault Hunters defeat Good-looking Jack. In Borderlands 3, Mordecai and Brick are assigned to the B-Group.
The time has come for Mordecai to return. In fact, it isn’t the identical with out Brick, however it feels bizarre not having him within the image when Lilith comes out of the section dimension.
I need to imagine that Mordecai will rush to assist his pal. In any case, they spent years making an attempt to save lots of Pandora. All he can do is name and verify on her.

salvador
arms race
Salvador is without doubt one of the authentic Vault Hunters in Borderlands 2 and is a fan favourite together with Zero. Lots of Borderlands 2’s characters have been round because the starting of the sequence, however Salvador has solely appeared as a commentator.
Borderlands 3’s Designer’s Minimize DLC helps you to be a part of the arms race between Salvador and Axton. This actuality present is a bit gimmicky, however it’s labored properly for them, and it is nice to see it return in Borderlands 4.
However even higher is seeing Salvador dwell, preventing within the area alongside the brand new Vault Hunters. Please convey this gunzerker again into battle as quickly as doable.

jenny springs
From Elpis to Kairos
We won’t speak about Athena’s return with out mentioning his girlfriend Janie Springs. If you happen to’ve performed The Pre-Sequels, you most likely keep in mind this black market vendor.
As talked about earlier, Janie and Athena live fortunately on Pandora. Nonetheless, Elpis is Janie’s true homeworld, and the moon was teleported to Kairos on the finish of Borderlands 3.
Thanks to those occasions, I used to be capable of see Janie seem in Borderlands 4. Because it seems, there could have been some sort of misery name that allowed Janie to search out Elpis. She then returned to verify on the Vault Hunters, solely to search out her house destroyed.

Patricia Tanis
One other siren
There isn’t any yet another knowledgeable on sirens than Patricia Tanis. She first appeared within the authentic Borderlands title, then reappeared in Borderlands 2, and as soon as once more in Borderlands 3.
In Borderlands 3, it’s revealed that Angel bequeathed the Siren talents to Tanis, giving Tanis the flexibility to make use of phase-shifting talents. Nonetheless, Tanis has not been seen since Borderlands 3.
Borderlands 4 focuses closely on Siren talents and the Part dimension, so I can think about a DLC centered on exploring Phases, with Tanis main the best way.
2
Mr. Torg
explosion!
Mr. Torgue is without doubt one of the finest NPCs within the Borderlands sequence. He had a small function within the authentic Borderlands sport, however reappeared in Borderlands 2 in each the primary story and a number of DLCs. He additionally appeared in Borderlands 3 as a commentator for the Circle of Slaughter.
Sadly, his function in Borderlands 3 wasn’t as massive, which provides us much more motive to need him again in Borderlands 4. With Endgame missing a bit, it could be nice to see the Circle of Slaughter and different types of carnage that includes the Circle of Slaughter and Mr. Torg added within the Endgame DLC.
If we’re fortunate, we’ll get a small bounty pack DLC that includes this musclehead, much like Borderlands 2’s The Horrifying Starvation of the Ravenous Wattle Gobbler.

little tina
Extra D&D?
Few characters have touched our hearts like Tiny Tina from the Borderlands sequence. We first met her in Borderlands 2, the place she performed a supporting function, however she quickly acquired her personal DLC referred to as Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Preserve.
Followers beloved this character and its DLC a lot that a complete sport was created titled Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. The match was a bit of lackluster, however Tina remained as chaotic as ever.
Sadly, she was not included in Borderlands 4. Many have requested her to be a playable Vault Hunter, and with one other Vault Hunter deliberate for the longer term, it could be wonderful to see her return within the function of the Demolitionist. Not less than I would be comfortable to see her and the remainder of the B crew.
