Borderlands 4 Vault Hunters

Compare Vex the Siren, Rafa the Exo-Soldier, Amon the Forgeknight, Harlowe the Gravitar, C4SH the Rogue, and Loveless the Hacker before you spend a character slot. Launch four are free with the base game. C4SH requires Story Pack 1: Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned. Loveless is a Version 1.10 paid hunter, also in Super Deluxe and the Vault Hunter Pack. Each class equips one of three Action Skills; traits such as Phase Covenant, Overdrive, Forgeskill, Entanglement, Windfall, and RAM change how those skills play. Filter the table by availability, trait, or skill name, then pin up to three hunters in the compare drawer.

How to read the six-hunter roster

  • Official class pages on the Vault Hunters hub give titles, traits, and three Action Skill names per hunter. The roster columns reuse those fields and add availability so you can see which hunters need Story Pack 1 or the Version 1.10 paid drop. Search matches name, title, trait, and skill text. Availability and DLC/Edition both key off the same launch / Story Pack 1 / Version 1.10 labels because that is the real unlock split.
  • Pin up to three rows to open the compare drawer. The drawer repeats trait text, the Action Skill list, and the extra note for each selected hunter. Cooldown numbers and damage formulas stay off the drawer because official class pages do not print them. For Augment and Capstone rules that apply to every class, continue to Action Skills. For the $9.99 Loveless SKU and Super Deluxe inclusion, see Story Packs and Editions. Filter launch versus Story Pack 1 versus Version 1.10 before you spend a character slot.

Launch four versus paid hunters

  • Vex, Rafa, Amon, and Harlowe are the launch four. Vex converts the current gun element into Action Skill and melee damage through Phase Covenant, then splits clones, self-buffs, and a familiar across Dead Ringer, Incarnate, and Phase Phamiliar. Rafa's Overdrive is a speed-and-damage window that pauses while a skill stays active, which matters if you hold Peacebreaker Cannons or keep APOPHIS Lance charges. Amon is the hold-to-cast Forgeknight: Onslaughter overloads the Forgefist, Scourge throws a projectile-eating Firewall, and Crucible's Double-Edge axe is Cryo out and Incendiary back. Harlowe Entangles targets so gun and skill damage splash, then chooses CHROMA Accelerator, Zero-Point stasis, or a Flux Generator that buffs allies and freezes enemies.
  • C4SH is a CasinoBot gated behind Story Pack 1, not a free unlock. Windfall builds Fortune on kills and spends it on reload or Action Skill to upgrade the current skill. Sleight of Hand draws a destruction spell, Cleromancy plants a Bone Totem from a dice roll, and Cross-Fire is the sure-shot revolver hail when you do not want luck. Loveless is the Version 1.10 paid hunter: RAM fills from crits and status, then spends into melee and gun damage. Plague Star throws a Contagion shuriken, Visual Paradox Nexus cloaks and decoys, and Malignant Construct digistructs the Wyrm. Functions tap and Executables hold modify those three skills. If you own Super Deluxe, both paid hunters are already on your license; if you own Standard, filter the roster to Launch roster until you buy the matching pack.
