Okay, let’s see if I can piece this together without losing my mind (or yours). So, Borderlands 4 is nearly here, right? People are kinda buzzing about it—not like bees or anything, but, well, you know what I mean. The trailers? They show this weirdly serious vibe. Like, who asked for that? Maybe it’s just my cynical side, but hey, could spice things up a bit.
Right, so humor isn’t out the window. Nope. Claptrap’s back, and trust me, folks have feelings. Mostly the “Why is this robot still talking?” variety. His chatter gets a volume slider now—genius, right? Or is it kinda risky? The slippery slope of silencing characters, blah blah. What next, a mute button for free speech? But enough about that—what’s with these characters that everybody loves to loathe? Ava? Davis Pickle? Yeah, those guys. I can hear the calls for their own sliders already.
Quick side note: Remember how we worried it’d be $80? Nah, turns out it’s $70. A steal? Maybe.
Anyway, back to Claptrap being obnoxious. Borderlands’ old running joke is maybe more marathon than sprint. Some love him, some don’t. Volume slider? Funny … for now. Got a feeling it needs to chill as a one-time gag, not a franchise staple. Just saying.
And oh, if you’re curious about who you’ll be shooting things with, meet Vex, Rafa, Harlowe, and Amon—the new Vault Hunters. No pressure or anything, right?
Anyway—or is it meanwhile?—September 12 is the date to circle. A new story, new chaos, and yeah, Claptrap probably won’t stop. Not much longer, and we’ll all be diving back into the madness. Ready or not, here it comes.
