Summary :

The Vault Hunters find themselves in a powder magazine

It was already known that the player would take on the role of a vault hunter. From the visual indications in the first trailer, we now know that the Vault Hunters must make an emergency landing on the planet Kairos and find themselves in a powder magazine just waiting to explode.

Years ago, when a collision between Pandora’s moon Elpis and the atmosphere of the previously hidden world of Kairos tore a hole in its protective barrier, the events gave rise to a horde known as of the Ripper, led by their terrible Queen Callis. This horde fights on Kairos with Time Watcher, Borderlands 4’s new main antagonist, and his army of synthetic soldiers known as the Order. “Borderlands Mayhem in its entirety” is the result of this explosive combination, the developers explain.
