Familiar game with new turns

Season the proven and true formula

Ever since the first post in 2009, the game formula for Borderland Has mostly been the same: an addictive and fast looter shooter with a first personal perspective. Although its core game has been done over and over again with little change over the years, it still turns out as fun as ever and really doesn't have to change.

But change can be good, and that is there Borderlands 4 Can really influence with its upcoming edition. Especially something like changing the game's stimulation, which enables a more stealth -oriented attitude to certain situations, instead of the usual “weapons that blast” that the games have always forced players to. It is not to be said that the “fast and high” method should not be an option, but giving every player more freedom to plan meetings would be a small change that can do a lot to spice Franchise's regular game formula.

Returning characters

Calls to the old role

Borderland Has contained some large, unique personalities over the years and has also presented many of their previous roles as returning characters with supportive character roles.

Borderlands 3 included a lot of previous fan favorite characters such as Brick and Lilith, originally seen in the first game, as well as others like Ellie and Sir Hammerlock, who were introduced in Borderlands 2And it's just to name a few of them. See the trend continue Borderlands 4 Would be a treatment for fans and a pleasant call to the series' previous payments. At least, at least players can expect to see Claptrap make their usual return.

More adjustment

Millions of randomized firearms, but not much for adaptation.

A key component found in almost all Borderland Games so far have been the huge collection of weapons that every game has offered. Although the weapons may look similar, the system works by randomizing various damage, types and effects. It turned what would be a small arsenal into a massive collection containing millions of different firearms options.

Although they are undoubtedly a crucial function for the series, many fans have expressed the desire for more choices in adaptation earlier only cosmetics and small tweaks. Letting players replace even more connection options for different play styles, or even let them build their own custom firearms from scratch to suit their needs, would give more depth to Borderlands' Already large selection of weapons.

Melee-focused weapon

Takes after Tiny Tina's Wonderland

Those more fond of the “close and personal” type of play style have asked for the next Borderland Games to include a greater focus on their melee weapons. Not only in its selection of weapons offered, but also in their game mechanics and skill systems overall.

Many fans have quoted Small Tina's Wonderland Melee system as a good example. It included Melee weapons in its own equipment site separately from the usual firearms, which allowed the Melee-focused play style to be much more viable. While the attacks themselves work mostly in the same way, it allowed the weapon to actually be equipped like any other firearms. It gave a feeling that Melees was actually its own category instead of just an acute secondary attack.

Fortunately, it looks like an update for the Melee system may be possible when you see playable characters like Amon The Forgeknight, which has been shown with double axles.

A new atmosphere

The deserts get a little dry

Fans have already seen that Borderlands 4 Will take place on the brand new planet Kairos, shown in the game's latest game status, reveals, so there are no secret players will see a new map in the next part.

The point is also that Borderland Has been known for its dry, rocky environments, with occasional change in landscapes here and there. Sure, there is nothing wrong with the series' previous places, but the same old dry desert design can get, yes, a little dry. Fans have expressed the need for more frequency in environmental differences over the map to the example of the introduction of jungle or swamp-like atmospheres. These would even open the door to completely new opportunities for the different creatures that can also arise.

A more focused plot and characters

A large stick point in recent records

The Borderland Series may not be known to have the deepest plots, but they have undoubtedly contained some unique core concepts and have done a good job with Lore and World Building in Borderland universe.

But a very large stick for fans of the series' latest editions has been the writing, both in terms of story and characters. The general reception is not horrible, but it has been quite mixed among society, with most people who indicate plots and personalities in the newer titles have not exactly lived up to previous items. While Borderland have always been about the game, a good story can really make the difference, so fans are hopeful Borderlands 4 will deliver something new in the writing department.
