Children of the Vault
Besides the corporations trying to take control, there is a new thread in the galaxy. The ‘Children of the Vault’ is a religious cult run by the Calypso Twins. This duo united all the bandits throughout the galaxy to claim the Vaults for themselves.
Vault Hunters
At the start of Borderlands 3, you can choose between 4 different playable characters, each with their own unique abilities and play styles.
Moze
Moze the Gunner has a giant mech called Iron Bear. She can equip it with 2 weapons to combat her enemies. Iron Bear can be outfitted with mini-guns, grenade launchers, laser guns, rocket pods, flamethrowers, or just big arms that pack a punch.
Zane
Zane the Operative has several gadgets at his disposal. He can use a Barrier Shield, SNTNL Drone, and a holographic Digi-Clone in combat.
Amara
Amara the Siren can deal devastating elemental damage. She can lock enemies in place with her PhaseGrasp, Shoot out energy projections of herself with her PhaseCast, or wreck her opponents with a PhaseSlam.
FL4K
FL4K the Beastmaster always brings a companion along. They are a Skag, Spiderant, or a Jabber. FL4K can supercharge them, can become invisible, or let a pack of Rakk attack their enemies.
Skill Trees
Each Vault Hunter has 3 skill trees that they can spec into and customize their play style. You can earn new passive skills that boost your abilities or augment your action skill.
