Overview

• Gearbox released a character short and accompanying interview on August 14 to spotlight Amon, the hulking Vault Hunter enhanced by internal Forge Drones.
• Nick Thurston, Gearbox’s lead character designer, confirmed that tapping or holding Amon’s Action Skill activates two distinct abilities, effectively doubling his arsenal.
• Amon’s skill trees enable elemental projectile summons and melee-focused upgrades, offering players both defensive bulwarks and offensive builds for endgame content.
• Amon’s tragic origin as the sole survivor of a Vault Monster–worshipping cult drives his relentless quest to slay Vault Monsters rather than seek loot.
• Borderlands 4 launches September 12 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC with an October 3 release on Switch 2, and Gearbox plans post-launch balance patches if certain builds underperform.
