Borderlands 4 Trailer Introduces Amon And His Axe-Ceptional Skills

Forward of its launch subsequent month, Borderlands 4 developer Gearbox has dropped a brand new trailer displaying off gameplay for the Vault Hunter Amon. Whereas earlier movies confirmed off Rafa’s arsenal of weapons from his Tediore exoskeleton and Vex’s darkish Siren powers, Amon is designed to be a extremely customizable frontliner who can use his weaponized drones to offer him with a rock-solid protection or reduce unfastened with highly effective offensive talents.

Like the opposite Vault Hunters, Amon has three Motion Skills to select from, and every one may be enhanced with Augments and Capstones. Amon’s distinctive Vault Hunter trait is Forgeskill, which permits him to make use of talents like Molten Slam, Firewall, or Double-Edge, relying on the outfitted Motion Ability when its assigned button is held down.

Here is a fast breakdown on how every one works:

Press and maintain the Motion Ability button to slam a Molten Forgehammer into the bottom, dealing incendiary melee harm to enemies in a big space.

Firewall (Scourge Motion Ability outfitted)

Press and maintain Motion Ability to deploy a Firewall that absorbs enemy projectiles, and grants pleasant projectiles that move via it elevated harm and velocity. Absorbed harm is transformed into Vengeance if Scourge is lively. Enemies close to Firewall take incendiary standing impact harm over time.

Urgent the button leads to a rocket-punch to an enemy dealing incendiary melee assault harm in a short-ranged cone, and inflicting enemies–except for bosses–to be staggered if it connects.

Scourge (Vengeance talent tree)

Vengeance drains quickly if it has not been gained lately. Urgent the Motion Ability button launches a Forgewave, dealing cryo ordnance harm to enemies it passes via and consuming Vengeance to extend harm dealt.

This talent has three fees, and it lets Amon prepared Forge-axes that may be thrown and picked up off the bottom to refund cooldown time. Amon can throw a Flame Axe, dealing incendiary melee harm, or a Frost Axe to deal cryo harm. Enemies broken by Forge-axes are then primed and can detonate once they die or are broken by a Forge-Ability, dealing harm to close by enemies.
