Borderlands 4 releases next month on PC and console, and as that date draws closer, developer Gearbox has been releasing a steady stream of videos highlighting the new Vault Hunters in the game. This week, it’s time for the hulking warrior Amon to take the spotlight, but don’t expect him to be all brawn and very few brains like Brick, the beefy brawler from the first Borderlands game.
Unlike his counterpart, Amon is a tragic warrior with a surprisingly tender side–and an appreciation for the best ice cream flavor, pPistachio–who was raised in a Vault monster-worshipping cult. After a Vault was opened and the living weapon inside of it killed Amon’s entire cult, he dedicated his life to finding and slaying as many of the beasts as he could. You can see just how good he is at doing that in the video below.
As seen in the video, Amon is a one-man army in action thanks to the Forge Drones implanted throughout his body. This makes him an axe-ceptional warrior, as he can be customized to soak up damage with a defensive build or level the playing field with his offensive abilities.
If you’re curious to read up on just how versatile Amon is in battle, you can check out our Borderlands 4 interview with lead character designer Nick Thurston.
Borderlands 4 launches on September 12 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and it’ll be coming to Switch 2 a little later on October 3. In case you’ve missed the previous character shorts, you can check out Vex’s necromantic abilities and how Rafa makes a good case for adopting Tediore technology on the battlefield.
