Vault Hunters from Borderlands 3
(L-R): Moze, Zane, Amara; in background: FL4K
Borderlands 3 has four character classes, with no new ones planned to be added, although there are plans to add additional skill trees to the current characters. All four of them went to Pandora to find Vaults, but all for different reasons.
Classes function differently in this game, as each character has an action skill per skill tree, and the ability to augment these action skills by investing more skill points into their respective skill trees. This is alongside that each class has additional perks tied to them, like foregoing grenades for an extra action skill.
Amara: The Siren[]
Amara was born and raised on Partali as a vigilante and earned the name "The Tiger of Partali" or "The Tiger". She traveled to Pandora as she was drawn to it. Her Siren powers manifest as spectral arms.
- Brawl tree: Has the Phaseslam action skill and focuses on close-quarters combat and survivability.
- Mystical Assault tree: Has the Phasecast action skill and focuses on the interplay between using the actions and buffing other stats as a result.
- Fist of the Elements tree: Has the Phasegrasp action skill and focuses on elemental damage and status effects.
FL4K: The Beastmaster[]
FL4K is an indexing unit that gained self-awareness and a lust for murder. FL4K sees Death as a mistress and took up Vault Hunting and "The Hunt" in their quest for her. FL4K is always accompanied by a creature and their action skills reflect different styles of hunting.
- Stalker tree: Has the Fade Away action skill, a jabber as the pet, and focuses on gunplay and attacking from unseen angles.
- Master tree: Has the Gamma Burst action skill, a skag as the pet, and focuses on boosting both FL4K and their pets' damage and the survival-based interplay between the pet and FL4K.
- Hunter tree: Has the Rakk Attack! action skill, a spiderant as the pet, and focuses on kill skill and critical hit damage and bonuses.
Moze: The Gunner[]
Moze is an ex-Vladof soldier who survived a suicide mission but was presumed dead by her superiors. Due to spare parts not being cheap, she became a Vault Hunter to afford the maintenance and repairs needed. Moze’s action skill is summoning Iron Bear and skill trees come with two installable weapons each.
- Bottomless Mags tree: Has the Minigun and Salamander action skills and focuses on firing weapons for longer both in and out of Iron Bear.
- Demolition Woman tree: Has the V-35 Grenade Launcher and Vanquisher Rocket Pod action skills and focuses on dealing splash damage.
- Shield of Retribution tree: Has the Railgun and Bear Fist action skills and focuses on shields, survivability and gun damage.
Zane: The Operative[]
Zane has left his bandit brothers (Baron Flynt and Captain Flynt) for a black-ops unit, and became a capable operative for mercenary and assassination work, but found it increasingly difficult to have a moment's peace with so many wanting him dead. He traveled to Pandora on the recommendation of an associate on where to lie low. As the Operative, Zane can forgo using grenades in favor of another action skill.
- Under Cover tree: Has the Barrier action skill and focuses on freezing enemies and protecting Zane.
- Hitman tree: Has the SNTNL action skill and focuses on kill skills and using the SNTNL, for both attacking and debuffing enemies.
- Doubled Agent tree: Has the Digi-Clone action skill and focuses on interplay with it, diversion and grenade utility.
