In the midst of rampant complaints about performance, both on PC and console, and a delayed Nintendo Switch 2 launch , the first Borderlands 4 paid DLC vault hunter has officially been revealed . C4SH, a former casino dealer bot, will be available in Q1 2026, and he will be available to players who own either the $129.99 Borderlands 4 Super Deluxe Edition, the $49.99 Vault Hunter Pack, or the unreleased Story Pack 1, titled Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned. C4SH will also come with his own unique set of gear, and he will be one of two paid DLC vault hunters coming to Borderlands 4, with the other not yet appearing on the post-launch roadmap . 2K has also confirmed that there will be more free content updates coming later down the line, with additional bosses, the return of Pearlescent weapons, and seasonal mini-events, which are slated for October.

All of C4SH's abilities revolve around luck and probability, and he has the usual three action skills and skill trees, each with three branches for customization. The actual action skills, skill trees, and gameplay for C4SH have not yet been revealed, but Gearbox also released a trailer showing off the new vault hunter's design, which looks very much inspired by classic cowboy and Western motifs. Gearbox did tease that C4SH's play style will be very high-risk, high-reward, and that his abilities will involve buffs for himself and allies, increased damage output, and enemy debuffs.
