Borderlands 4
Description
Borderlands 4, released on September 12, 2025, continues the franchise's legacy of chaotic looter-shooter action on a new planet called Kairos. Set six years after Borderlands 3, players take on the roles of four new Vault Hunters – Rafa, Harlowe, Amon, and Vex – who must join the Crimson Resistance to overthrow the tyrannical Timekeeper and his synthetic army. The game boasts a seamless open-world experience across four distinct regions of Kairos, enhanced traversal mechanics, and the signature outlandish weaponry and character customization players expect.
Among the formidable challenges awaiting Vault Hunters on Kairos is the Vile Lictor, a boss encountered during the main story mission "His Vile Sanctum" in the Umbral Foundry. This multi-phased fight demands strategic adaptation and precise execution. Initially, the Vile Lictor is invulnerable, shielded by floating limbs that must be destroyed to expose its core. During this phase, players must dodge energy walls, avoid explosive drones, and deflect the boss's hand projections and energy claw attacks. The limbs themselves also fire projectiles, creating a hectic battlefield.
Once the Vile Lictor's health is depleted, it enters a more aggressive second phase. Attacks intensify, with faster-moving energy walls and rapid-fire hand projections. A new mechanic involves a phase energy nova that requires players to use their grappling hooks to escape the main platform. Throughout the entire encounter, smaller drones provide crucial resources for ammunition and potential Second Winds. Effective preparation is key; the boss’s armor in phase one is vulnerable to corrosive and cryo damage, while its shields on the limbs are weak to shock. In phase two, its primary health switches to a shield, making shock damage the optimal choice. Upon defeat, the Vile Lictor rewards players with highly sought-after legendary loot, including the "Super Soldier" shield and "Ruby's Grasp" pistol, with Moxxi’s "Big Encore Machine" allowing for repeated farming.
