The release of Borderlands 4s first Story Pack DLC, Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned, has introduced the first post-launch Vault Hunter into the game. C4SH, the Rogue, is the first playable robot Vault Hunter in the Borderlands 4and has a kit that relies heavily on luck and manipulating that luck to the player's advantage. As players have had a chance to really dive into the new Vault Hunter skill tree and the DLC's new gear, an extremely powerful C4SH build has emerged, capable of taking infinite damage when set up correctly.
Even if Borderlands 4s new DLC has been controversial among fans, largely for its content-to-price ratio, most players find C4SH to be the standout addition of the expansion. The new Vault Hunter's three Action Skills include Cross-Fire, which allows C4SH to use his dual revolvers, Sleight of Hand, which allows C4SH to unleash random effects via cards, and Cleromancy, which allows C4SH to roll his Bone Dice and summon a Bone Totem based on the result. It is the latter of these skills, along with C4SH's unique Windfall trait, that allows Borderlands 4 players to achieve infinite damage with Vault Hunter.

Borderlands 4 developers discuss the current state of the game and admit that fixing lingering PC issues has been a somewhat stressful experience.
C4SH has infinite damage in Borderlands 4
Borderlands 4 is no stranger to infinite damage builds, as the game launched with an infinite damage build for Vex that took advantage of her ability to stack bleeds on enemies with her Bloodletter skill and a throwing knife with the Penetrator Augment. This infinite bleed construct for Vex was actually the result of an accidental interaction that was eventually patched out Borderlands 4. Now, with the release of Story Pack 1, another infinite outcome build is possible with a combination of C4SH's skills and the new Class Mod.
C4SH's infinite bleed built in Borderlands 4 was originally spotted by Reddit user Ancient_Rune, who shared a video of the damage scaling in action to the game's subreddit. In the video, C4SH can be seen constantly damaging enemies with very little user input necessary, resulting in millions of damage. Some Borderlands 4 players who got a chance to use Vex's infinite bleed build in its heyday will likely notice the similarities between the two, showing how overpowered bleed can be in Borderlands 4.
It's unclear if these bleed interactions are an intentional part of C4SH's gameplay or not, so Borderlands 4 players should use it before it gets nerfed.
How to achieve C4SH's infinite damage

Gamer Class Mod

Cleromancy Action Skill

The Wilds Passive
C4SH's infinite bleed build is largely based on its ability to proc bleed when critical hits land. To do this, players will need C4SH's Gamer Class Mod, which allows the Vault Hunter to bleed enemies when he troubles them. Killing an enemy with a crit while bleeding also allows C4SH to spawn a Chaos Totem, essentially giving players another source of damage with the potential to crit and cause another stack of bleed. So, the game loop becomes activating as many bleed sources as possible to keep increasing C4SH's crit source with new Totems to then cause more bleed in an infinite loop.
To further add to C4SH's crit potential, players should invest in his Cleromancy Action Skill, which allows C4SH to keep more Totems active on the field and increases the chance of a crit-proccing bleed. C4SH's green skill tree will provide this build with its most important skills, such as The Wilds, a passive that inherits damage source from C4SH, meaning it can also cause its own instance of bleed. The result is a build that can stack bleeds from a variety of sources very quickly, damaging enemies constantly and exponentially to the point where players don't have to do much other than stand back and watch health bars melt.
