When do the new vault hunters get released? I thought we were supposed to get a gambling robot, the first actually interesting Vault Hunter to be released for the game. It released with only lame, generic ones that all played like they came from CoD. I miss the beast master, cyborg ninjas, and other unique heroes. It’s why I never beat BL4, it got old really quick. It’s the first one since the Pre-Sequel that I just got bored with and don’t care to return to. Usually I platinum these games.
