New Vault Hunter C4SH teaser

Gearbox Entertainment released a new teaser for the new Vault Hunter and I am not going to lie, this guy looks so cool. He has that cowboy vibe and in the teaser, you can also see that he also deals with a card deck and dice.

He also dual-wields weapons, which is a classic in the looter shooter style and the teaser ends with revealing his full kit. There are also some hints about his action skills and skill trees.

Here are some official details about him:

“A former casino dealer bot, C4SH is now a drifter who chases the probability-breaking highs of cursed eldritch artifacts. As luck would have it, Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned is full of cosmic horrors that harbor uncanny curios, some of which can surely bend the odds in his favor.”

There’s also a touch of necromancy, which might bring some black magic to his playstyle—especially when combined with Vex’s summoning mechanisms. Whether he’s reviving the dead or simply unloading clips, C4SH appears to be ready to alter up squad configurations in co-op runs.
