Gearbox Software has officially introduced C4SH, the first DLC Vault Hunter coming to Borderlands 4 early next year. The first new entry in the series in six years has plenty to offer players right out the gate, but Gearbox already has more in store for Borderlands 4 players in the near future, including expansions to the character roster.
In classic Borderlands fashion, there are four unique characters to choose from in Borderlands 4‘s base game, each with their own unique skills and playstyles. The current selection of Vault Hunters has proven to be a hit with fans for their versatility and buildcraft potential, but Gearbox isn’t stopping there, as the studio has confirmed that two more playable characters will be added to the game as paid DLC throughout 2026.
Borderlands 4 Shows Off New Vault Hunter C4SH
As teased earlier this week, Gearbox lifted the veil off Borderlands 4’s first DLC character at the Tokyo Game Show. Slated to arrive in Q1 2026, C4SH is a robot that once worked as a casino dealer before switching trades and becoming a Vault Hunter, which is reflected in the dice and playing cards included in his kit. According to Randy Pitchford, C4SH will have powers based on random chance, though how exactly that will translate to gameplay remains to be seen. It also remains to be seen when information regarding Borderlands 4’s second DLC character will be revealed.
C4SH will be available to players who own Borderlands 4’s Super Deluxe Edition or Vault Hunter Pack. He will also be included in the game’s first Story Pack, Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned. Set in a new region of Kairos, it will provide players with new campaign missions and side quests to take on, as well as new gear and cosmetics to earn. With both C4SH and Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned slated to launch in Q1 2026, fans hopefully won’t have to wait too long to find out when exactly the new character and story expansions will be added to the game.
That’s not to say that players won’t have anything new to look forward to before then. According to the game’s post-launch roadmap, Borderlands 4 is set to receive plenty of additional content throughout the last quarter of 2025. In addition to the first of four paid Bounty Pack DLCs containing new missions, bosses, and more, players will also be treated to free content such as a seasonal event called Horrors of Kairos, new legendary weapons and cosmetics, and an additional Ultimate Vault Hunter mode level.
