Borderlands 4The first seasonal event will be the Lakmust test for the game's content after launch, which means that the recently announced horror from Kairos will set the tone for what players can expect from seasonal events in the future. While Borderland Series are not stranger to kick things with a Halloween event, Borderlands 4S horror of kairos must live up to expectations set by Borderlands 3Bloody harvest events. The tire already seems to be stacked against Cairo's fear, as it misses the opportunity to add an obvious Halloween theme.
Announced under Borderlands 4 PAX Australia Panel, the horror from Cairo's seasonal mini event will start on October 23 and run through November 6. Horror of Cairos will be a free update for all Borderlands 4 Players, although the first paid DLC Bounty Pack – how Rush Saved Mercenary Day – was also detailed under the panel and will be released on November 20. The content of Horror of Cairo's event should receive Borderlands 4 Players in a sufficiently scary mood, but it feels missing in the cosmetics department without a vault hunter-specific head.

“Gourd Your Loins” Jack-o-Lantern Head for all arch hunters
-
“Hex appeal” weapon

The stars of Horror of Cairo's event are the two new legendary weapons for Borderlands 4 Players to discover. Murmur Legendary Tediore Assault Rifle performs weakened enemies, with a guaranteed criticism of enemies with less than 35% health, and Skully Legendary Order Grenade launches projectiles when it search for the nearest goal. Both of these weapons will have the chance to release from Borderlands 4World bosses, which have the new seasonal blood rainstorm.
When it comes to cosmetics offered during the horror from the Cairo event, players can have the gourd that your lumbar heads can be used by all arches and hex -appealing skin for all weapons. Gourd your lumbarhead fits with the Halloween spirit in the event as a jack-o-lamp with a gap stuck in it, but Borderlands 4 Missing an excellent opportunity to give each arch hunter their own unique season's head to adapt the player's horror of the Cairo experience.
Borderland 4's Horror of Cairo's event lacks an obvious cosmetics
Vex is Borderlands 4poster children for frightening season, given that she is portrayed as a witch in her introduction as Borderlands 4S playable siren. As such, it would have been a NO-Brainer to give Vex a witch hat cosmetics for a Halloween event as a horror of Kairos, to really lean into her witch, Goth aesthetics. While the Gourd Your Loins head is a fine cosmetic, it feels like adding a witch hat for Vex as such an obvious supplement that it would have been more meaningful for every vault hunter to get a unique Halloween theme, such as a media elevator executor for AMON, a crazy researcher for Harloe, and the bird's cream for the Raf A crazy researcher for Harlowe, and the bird scare for Rafa to join with a witch hat for Vex for AMON, a Mad researcher for Harlowe, and the bird scare for Rafa to join with a witch hat for Vex for AMon, a Mad researcher for Varlowe, and the bird cream for raf for RAFA to go Mad scientist for Harlowe, and the scarecrow for Rafa to join a witch hat for Vex.
Vex gets the short end of the stick in horror from Cairos
With the inevitable Nerf to VEX's endless bleeding building that will hit the vault hunter particularly hard, the fans of the siren will take a one-two-ranking in the coming weeks. Not only will Vex players likely to lose on their best construction option with October 16 The patch set to deal with unintentional interactions with its blood letter capacity, but the missed opportunity to give the siren a witch hat cosmetics as a consolation prize during the horror from the Cairos event will certain This Halloween event would have been the perfect time to add a witch hat cosmetics for Vex, and without it it is unclear if Borderlands 4 Players will ever see this head added to the game.
