Vicious New Cycle: Cannon Fodder | Borderlands 4 | As Rafa, Walkthrough, Gameplay, No Commentary, 4K

Borderlands 4, the highly anticipated continuation of the beloved looter-shooter series, arrived in September 2025, transporting players to the new planet of Kairos. Six years after the events of its predecessor, the game introduces a fresh band of Vault Hunters ready to confront the tyrannical Timekeeper and liberate Kairos from his synthetic rule. The core gameplay remains intact, a thrilling blend of first-person shooting, massive arsenals of guns, and character progression through extensive skill trees, all wrapped in the franchise's signature irreverent humor. The world of Kairos is presented as a seamless open-world experience, fostering a more dynamic exploration than previous installments, complemented by enhanced traversal mechanics and immersive environmental elements like a day-night cycle and dynamic weather. Within this expansive new universe, the "Vicious New Cycle: Cannon Fodder" side quest exemplifies the series' knack for dark comedy and memorable scenarios. Set in the Carcadia Burn region, this mission, part of Penelope Streams' "Vicious News Cycle" broadcast, centers around the eccentric Vault Gatherer, Zink. Zink's audacious plan involves launching himself via a colossal cannon to scout for vaults. Players are tasked with charging this makeshift projectile launcher. The delightful absurdity lies in the player's choice to merely charge the cannon sufficiently for Zink's launch or to indulge in the temptation of overcharging it, turning the chamber a menacing red. This moral ambiguity, presented with characteristic Borderlands nonchalance, allows players to embrace the chaos for their own amusement. Upon firing the cannon, Zink embarks on his skyward journey, eventually reporting the discovery of a "mini-vault," which amusingly turns out to be a standard weapon chest. Penelope Streams, ever the satirist, expresses a mild disappointment at the lack of a more dramatic or tragic outcome. Ultimately, the player reaps the rewards from the chest, having participated in yet another outlandish spectacle on Kairos. This quest perfectly encapsulates the Borderlands formula: engaging gameplay, a narrative rich in satire, and characters who are delightfully unhinged, all contributing to a uniquely entertaining experience.
