Borderlands 4 Player’s Guide: Vault Hunter’s Handbook

Introduction to Borderlands 4

Borderlands 4 is finally here. It might be the best looter-shooter game yet, throwing millions of wild guns and endless, frantic action at you. The development team kept the classic Borderlands flavor: the hilarious jokes, the bright, cartoon-like art, and the addictive joy of chasing the next Legendary drop. At the same time, they introduced a massive new world called Kairos and a sinister villain that fights across time itself. So, players quickly realize this game demands more than just sharp shooting. You’ll need to master gear synergy, optimize movement, and constantly match your elemental damage to beat the powerful Timekeeper threat. This handbook will help you prepare for the non-stop insanity and the raw power you’ll feel as you land on this unstable new planet.

Welcome to Kairos: Setting and Premise

Your journey leaves behind the familiar dust of Pandora. It takes you instead to Kairos, a huge planet constantly broken by time glitches and fractured realities. Because of this chaos, the world shifts violently between three main eras: a dense prehistoric jungle, a glittering modern city, and a ruined future desert. This constant instability forces you to switch up your fighting tactics constantly, so adapting to the environment is crucial.

The main story centers on The Timekeepers. This is a secret group led by a mysterious figure named Chronos. They use potent, time-based weaponry to rewrite history. These deadly devices are hidden across Kairos. In a tricky twist, you’ll quickly learn that these enemies can speed up or slow down their attacks, and certain bosses can even rewind their health, meaning old strategies won’t work. Most important of all, the stakes are unbelievably high: The Timekeepers aim to erase the first Vault Hunters and reset the universe. Thus, you are fighting against the clock, literally.

Why Play Borderlands 4? (Core Loop and Innovations)

The Borderlands loop is beloved because it always rewards combat and exploration. You defeat enemies, you get better guns, and you use those better guns to defeat tougher enemies faster. In this new title, Borderlands 4 enhances this loop with key innovations. First, the new Gear Calibration system lets you spend rare materials to slightly re-roll a weapon’s minor bonus stats. This finally lets you chase that elusive “god-roll” item.

Beyond that, the Digirunner vehicle has been dramatically overhauled. It now applies your character’s main elemental damage to its primary weapons, making vehicular combat a viable part of your overall damage strategy. Additionally, the refined Mayhem Level system is now the “Chronos Difficulty.” It offers increasingly brutal challenges right from the start. This is a feature that keeps leveling up fun, even for long-time players. So, you’ll feel that every engagement and every loot chest brings you closer to ultimate, world-shaking power.

Platforms, Editions, and Getting Started

Borderlands 4 runs on both previous and current-gen consoles, but it looks and plays best on the newest hardware. You can purchase the game on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. For these systems, the game uses fast hard drives for near-instant travel between zones and runs at a buttery smooth 60 frames per second on its performance setting. Players who snag the Chronos Edition get all four planned story updates and exclusive cosmetic gear. To get started, just install the game (it’s the biggest in the series so far). Then, customize your visuals. After that, you face the biggest decision: picking your Vault Hunter.

Choosing Your Vault Hunter

Overview of the Four Classes: Amon, Harlowe, Rafa, Vex

Four new Vault Hunters have arrived to take on the Timekeepers. Each is built around a distinct combat role. You’ll want to pick the one that best fits your personal style before starting the game:

• Amon, The Operative: Amon is the stealthy damage dealer. His main Action Skill, Phase Cloak, renders him invisible for a brief period while creating a decoy. This allows him to reposition, revive teammates, or line up massive critical strikes. Overall, Amon excels at precision gunplay and maximizing critical hit damage.
• Harlowe, The Siren: Harlowe wields the Siren’s signature energy damage. Her Action Skill, Singularity Pulse, generates a mini black hole, pulling all nearby enemies into a tight cluster before detonating with random elemental damage. Because of this unique ability, Harlowe is the undisputed master of crowd control (CC) and massive area-of-effect damage.
• Rafa, The Beastmaster: Rafa fights alongside a fiercely loyal, tanky alien companion named Rix. Rafa’s Action Skill is special: Rix Rampage temporarily makes Rix gigantic and invulnerable, rapidly beating down enemies with powerful melee attacks. If you like constant pressure, you’ll want Rafa for steady pet damage, reliable health stealing, and enemy distraction.
• Vex, The Commando: Vex is a highly mobile, armored powerhouse. Her Action Skill, Gravity Slam, launches her into the air before she crashes down, inflicting heavy shock damage and stunning all enemies in a radius. Ultimately, Vex is brilliant for enemy suppression, team defense, and builds specializing in shock and explosion damage.

Skill Trees and Playstyles

Each Vault Hunter comes with three deep skill trees that allow for a huge variety of builds. You’ll see immediately that the trees often align with a specific function in combat.

Amon and Harlowe Skill Tree Breakdown

1. Amon, The Operative
   • Tree 1 (Sniper): Focuses on boosting critical damage, accuracy, and gun handling. This is ideal for players who prefer to engage targets from long range.
   • Tree 2 (Stealth): Lowers your Action Skill cooldown, improves your decoy, and adds powerful Damage over Time (DoT) effects.
   • Tree 3 (Support): Provides team benefits by recharging ally shields and debuffing enemy defenses with status effects.
2. Harlowe, The Siren
   • Tree 1 (Elemental): Maximizes all elemental damage types and status effects. This is her primary offensive tree.
   • Tree 2 (CC – Crowd Control): Increases the pull strength, duration, and radius of the Singularity Pulse. It’s all about enemy grouping.
   • Tree 3 (Support): Focuses on healing the party’s health and regenerating key resources like ammo or shield capacity for teammates.

Rafa and Vex Skill Tree Breakdown

3. Rafa, The Beastmaster
   • Tree 1 (Tank): Boosts Rix’s shields and health while reducing damage taken by Rafa. This helps both of you stay alive longer in tough fights.
   • Tree 2 (Pet Focus): Increases Rix’s damage output, adds life-steal capabilities, and improves Rix’s combat intelligence. This is the tree for maximizing Rix’s power.
   • Tree 3 (Gunner): Boosts Rafa’s own gun damage based on Rix’s current health and the number of enemies Rix is engaging.
4. Vex, The Commando
   • Tree 1 (Tank): Maximizes armor and health stats while significantly reducing incoming elemental damage to Vex.
   • Tree 2 (Explosives): Increases explosion radius, grenade damage, and rocket launcher effectiveness. It is focused on massive Splash Damage.
   • Tree 3 (Mobility): Increases Vex’s running speed, slide distance, and lowers the cooldown for Gravity Slam, ensuring rapid movement in and out of battles.

Beginner Recommendations and Customization

For new players or those returning after a long break, it’s highly recommended to start with Rafa, The Beastmaster. The biggest advantage here is that Rafa offers a safe learning curve. Rix draws enemy fire and can revive Rafa when she’s downed. You’ll appreciate the balanced start that allows Rix to cover you while you get the hang of enemy elemental weaknesses.

Amon, on the other hand, is the most difficult to master, requiring near-perfect aim to maximize his critical hit damage. However, customization is vast. You can change your Vault Hunter’s appearance, including heads, skins, emotes, and even the appearance of your Action Skill. Remember, you are never locked in to a skill tree. You can reset all your skill points at any Quick-Change Station for a small in-game cash fee. This freedom means you can experiment fearlessly.

Story and Campaign Walkthrough

Non-Spoiler Plot Summary: The Timekeeper Threat

The central narrative showcases the devastating arrival of the Timekeeper Syndicate on Kairos. A mysterious and powerful leader known only as Chronos directs the group. Their mission is to seize the power of the main Temporal Vault—a relic that can collapse all timelines into a single, easily manipulated reality. As you might expect, you find yourself in a frantic race against Chronos and his twisted lieutenants.

These lieutenants are often corrupted versions of enemies from past Borderlands games, demonstrating Chronos’s control over the timeline. Consequently, you’ll be scrambling to secure the pieces of the Vault key. Crucially, the story focuses heavily on fate versus choice, forcing the Vault Hunters to make decisions that truly impact the future of Kairos. These choices unlock specific post-game missions. Therefore, you’ll quickly discover that not every timeline is worth saving, and your choices carry real weight.

Act I & II: Prehistoric and Cyberpunk Fragments

The initial chapters quickly set the stage, giving you a baptism by fire on the planet’s unique dangers.

Act I: The Prehistoric Fragment (Missions 1–5)

You start in the “Prehistoric Fragment” of Kairos—a dense, swampy environment dominated by fire-based enemies. Main Tip: Enemies here, like the armored dinosaurs and wild bandits, are highly resistant to Incendiary (Fire) damage. You’ll need to quickly switch to Corrosive (acid) and Shock (electric) weapons to win. Boss: The Giga-Raptor. A pro tip is to destroy the exposed time machine on its back; this briefly freezes the Raptor, giving you a valuable damage window.

Act II: The Cyberpunk Fragment (Missions 6–10)

The environment shifts dramatically to the “Cyberpunk Fragment,” a neon-lit, city zone ruled by heavily shielded police forces. Main Tip: Shields (the blue health bars) are everywhere in this act. Therefore, you should use Shock weapons first to strip the shields away. Also, make use of high ground for jump-shots and slams. Boss: Sentinel Prime. This boss uses a robust shield that requires two damage types—one Shock and one Corrosive—applied almost simultaneously to break. Thus, coordinating with a co-op partner or quickly swapping Action Skills is key for solo players.

Act III: The Ruined Future and Endgame Prep

• Act III: The Ruined Future (Missions 11–15): You explore a vast, arid, future desert fragment where Cryo (Ice) and Radiation damage are common. Main Tip: Most enemies here are robotic and shielded. We strongly recommend using Cryo to freeze them solid, which allows for massive critical damage before their shields recover. Additionally, look for environmental hazards—sandstorms briefly disable enemy shields, creating a perfect time to strike.

Side Quests for Loot and Lore

Don’t skip the side missions! The main story is great, but the side quests are the best place to find unique Legendary loot and crucial story lore. In fact, many of the most powerful Legendary weapons and Class Mods drop only from the specialized bosses in these side missions. Furthermore, the side quests do a great job of showcasing the strange people of Kairos, like rogue robot DJs and time-traveling, wise monks, all delivered with the classic Borderlands dark humor. Consequently, always prioritize side quests marked with a gold star icon, as they often reward permanent stat boosts or special weapon parts.

Core Gameplay Mechanics

Combat Essentials: Aiming, Dodging, and Elemental Damage

Movement is arguably the most important element of combat in Borderlands 4. You should constantly use the slide mechanic to maintain momentum and dodge incoming projectiles. This is critical against the Timekeeper faction’s rapid-fire weaponry. Likewise, mastering the ability to clamber up and down ledges mid-fight is essential for finding cover and allowing your shields to recharge.

However, the single most vital skill is getting critical hits. Hitting an enemy’s head or a clear weak spot (often a glowing power core) multiplies your damage exponentially. So, always aim for the weak spot; don’t just spray bullets. The final piece of the puzzle is mastering the elemental match-up. You must quickly observe the enemy’s health bar color and immediately switch your weapon to the corresponding damage type. Failing to do so results in severely reduced damage, especially on the higher difficulty settings.

1. Red (Flesh): Use Incendiary (Fire). Deals huge damage and applies damage over time (DoT).
2. Blue (Shields): Use Shock (Electric). Deals massive damage to shields and quickly breaks them.
3. Yellow (Armor): Use Corrosive (Acid). Deals huge damage to armor and strips it off quickly.
4. Grey (Bar/Armor): Use Cryo (Ice). Slows enemies, then freezes them solid, setting them up for massive critical hits.
5. Purple (Bar): Use Radiation. Applies DoT and spreads that damage to nearby enemies.

Rarity Tiers and Drop Farming

Loot is the entire engine of Borderlands 4. You’ll acquire gear categorized by rarity: White, Green, Blue, Purple, and Legendary (Gold). Legendary items always come with a unique special effect. For example, a gun might shoot bouncing saw blades, or a shield might explode violently upon depletion.

The absolute best gear doesn’t just drop randomly. It comes from Dedicated Drops—specific bosses that have an increased chance to drop certain Legendary items. Therefore, your endgame will be spent repeatedly farming these bosses to find the perfect item, with the right element, and, most importantly, the best Anointment.

Optimizing Gear with Anointments

But, you need to pay close attention to the Anointments. Anointments are powerful, random bonus effects found on Purple and Legendary gear. They usually grant a temporary boost when you perform a specific action. For example, an Anointment might read: “After your Action Skill ends, Weapon Damage is increased by 100% for 10 seconds.”

Consequently, you should specifically hunt for Anointments that perfectly complement your chosen Vault Hunter’s Action Skill. These bonuses provide the largest, most consistent damage increases in the game. Ultimately, finding the right Anointment is often a bigger priority than the base weapon’s damage number itself.

Skills and Action Skills: Unlocks and Combos

Your Action Skill—Phase Cloak, Singularity Pulse, Gravity Slam, or Rix Rampage—is highly customizable. You use the skill trees to unlock Augments and Modifiers. You earn these changes by investing skill points, typically after reaching the 5th tier of a skill tree. As a result, your starting Action Skill will feel completely different by the mid-game.

For instance, Amon’s Phase Cloak can evolve from simple invisibility into a cloak that also steals health with melee hits. Therefore, focus on skills that reduce your Action Skill’s Cooldown Rate. This helps you keep your powerful Anointment bonuses running almost continuously. Thus, gear with ‘Action Skill Cooldown Rate’ becomes invaluable, turning a defensive ability into a core offensive tool. Finally, try to mix skills that have synergy. For example, use Vex’s tank tree to boost her shields, and then use her explosives tree to make her Gravity Slam deal Corrosive damage.

Weapons, Builds, and Gear

Weapon Types and Manufacturers (Maliwan vs. Torgue)

Borderlands 4 brings back all the familiar weapons: pistols, rifles, shotguns, rockets, SMGs, and snipers. It also reintroduces the nine main weapon manufacturers that define them. For instance, you’ll notice that the Maliwan company deals exclusively in elemental damage. Their weapons always cycle between two damage types and require a brief charge-up before firing.

In contrast, Torgue weapons fire slow-moving, explosive rockets. They deal immense splash damage, but you have to lead your moving targets to land the hit. Consequently, you choose manufacturers based on which damage type your build needs most. Harlowe (Siren), who focuses on elemental damage over time, generally favors Maliwan and Hyperion for consistent damage and better accuracy. Vex (Commando), who relies on explosions, needs Torgue and Vladof for large blasts and high fire rates.

Optimal Builds: Amon and Harlowe Strategies

Crafting optimal builds requires careful planning, but the sense of power is incredibly rewarding. Here are four excellent ideas for player-versus-environment (PvE) builds:

• Amon: Ghost Protocol: You should invest your points heavily into the Stealth and Sniper trees. You use Anointments that grant bonus damage after exiting Phase Cloak. This build absolutely needs a high-damage, single-shot Jakobs sniper rifle. This ensures one-shot critical kills and maximizes the ‘Fade Away’ effect.
• Harlowe: Singularity Specialist: You commit all your points to the CC and Elemental trees. You use Singularity Pulse to gather all enemies into one spot. Then you use Maliwan weapons to inflict massive Incendiary and Corrosive damage. The core of the build is maximizing Action Skill Cooldown. Furthermore, it pairs perfectly with a specific artifact that adds ‘Damage on Status Effect’ to melt large groups instantly.

Optimal Builds: Rafa and Vex Strategies

• Rafa: Unstoppable Duo: You sink most points into the Tank and Pet Focus trees. You give Rix maximum defense boosts. You also put points in the Gunner tree. This boosts Rafa’s damage while Rix is distracting and engaging enemies. Ultimately, you’ll rely on fast-firing Vladof SMGs for constant output while Rix acts as your shield.
• Vex: Exploding Titan: You combine the Tank and Explosives trees. You equip shields that add extra shock damage when the shield is depleted. You use Torgue shotguns to maximize the explosion radius. So, Vex becomes a supremely durable character who deals huge close-range explosive damage. This high durability lets her stay in the thick of the combat, which is where Torgue weapons shine.

Gear Management: Inventory Tips and Vendors

You’ll quickly find your backpack overflowing, so managing your gear is vital. Therefore, you should spend all your in-game cash on Storage Deck Upgrades (SDUs) right away—for both your backpack and your bank. You should definitely store all “God Roll” Legendaries and unique, high-Anointment gear in your bank. Conversely, you should immediately sell everything that is White, Green, or Blue. Only keep a handful of the best Purple Class Mods.

The Black Market Vending Machine appears randomly on Kairos each week. It always sells one exclusive Legendary item you can’t get anywhere else. Therefore, you should absolutely check online community pages to find its location. Finally, always check the SDU vendor’s daily deals. They occasionally offer massive sales on bank space, giving you crucial room for all your loot.

Exploration and Vehicles

Open-World Navigation on Kairos

Kairos is Borderlands 4’s largest and most complex world yet, featuring huge, connected zones. You move between them using fast travel and the essential Digirunner. For example, you’ll be traveling through areas that have dynamically changing hazards, such as localized time warps that might freeze you briefly or reset an enemy’s health bar. Because of this, learning to watch your map for these time shifts is key.

In addition, the world is surprisingly vertical. You’ll spend a lot of time climbing and grappling. You’ll discover that many side quests and hidden loot caches are found on high ledges or deep within canyons. This means you need to be good at platforming, not just shooting. Ultimately, patience and observation are just as important as marksmanship to stay alive.

Mastering the Digirunner: Upgrades and Combat Driving

The Digirunner replaces past vehicles. It’s fast and adapts to all terrains, making it perfect for Kairos’s diverse zones. You can customize the vehicle extensively, adding new chassis, armor, and, most importantly, weapon modules. Crucially, the game allows you to apply your Vault Hunter’s elemental Anointments directly to the vehicle’s weapons. This means Harlowe’s Digirunner can constantly fire Corrosive damage.

So, car combat becomes a fun and necessary part of the game—whether clearing out convoys of enemy vehicles or breaching fortified Timekeeper bases. Therefore, you should prioritize the Turbo Overcharge upgrade first. It grants a brief invulnerability window, letting you smash through roadblocks and escape deadly situations. Furthermore, the new turret mode is often used for rapid role-switching when playing co-op.

Hidden Areas and Environmental Hazards

The world of Kairos hides some important endgame spots. You should actively look for the Temporal Proving Grounds. These are short, intense dungeons that test specific build types and reward unique gear drops. You also need to find the Chrono-Raid Bosses. These are gigantic, difficult monsters that require four players with optimized gear to beat and drop the very best Class Mods and Artifacts.

Moreover, environmental hazards are everywhere. The desert fragments feature Chronal Storms which drain your shield energy but grant you a temporary speed boost. The Cyberpunk zone has automated laser grids you must quickly hack to pass through. Consequently, learning to use these world dangers against your enemies, rather than just avoiding them, is a game-changer.

Co-Op and Multiplayer Strategies

Couch vs. Online Co-Op: Setup and Etiquette

Borderlands 4 supports two players on the same screen and four players online. You must choose your preferred looting style at the start. You have Coopetition Mode, the old Borderlands style where loot is shared, and the first player to grab it keeps it. Alternatively, there is Instanced Loot Mode. This gives every player their own, unique loot pool that only they can see.

I strongly suggest the Instanced Loot Mode. It eliminates arguments and promotes teamwork. You’ll need to establish good co-op etiquette: always mark valuable gear for your friends and share emergency ammo during tough encounters. Also, constant communication is vital, as many boss fights require perfectly timed Action Skill synchronization.

Role Synergies Between Vault Hunters

The best four-player teams combine complementary skills for maximum damage output. The highest DPS is typically achieved by using Harlowe’s Singularity Pulse to clump enemies together. Vex’s Gravity Slam then follows immediately for massive splash damage. Next, Amon’s Phase Cloak provides a safety window or a guaranteed critical hit phase on bosses, while Rafa and Rix hold enemy aggro and deal consistent damage. Therefore, make sure your team balances big area damage, single-target precision, and survivability.

Advanced Tips and Endgame

Mayhem Levels and Scaling Difficulty

The Chronos Difficulty system is what controls the endgame challenge. It’s an improved version of the old Mayhem Levels. You unlock new tiers by defeating the final boss. These tiers add brutal, random modifiers, for example, “Enemies deal 50% more Explosion Damage” or “Critical Hits lower Action Skill Cooldown.” The key is that these modifiers drastically change your playstyle. You climb the difficulty levels not just for bragging rights, but because the loot drops are exponentially better. Indeed, a Chronos Level 10 weapon is many times more powerful than a standard Level 80 Legendary.

Boss Strategies (Timekeeper Phases)

All major Timekeeper bosses use predictable time-shifting phases. You watch for the boss to glow blue, which means they are about to rewind their health (healing themselves). They glow red when they speed up their attacks (faster damage). To counteract the rewind phase, use strong Damage-over-Time (DoT) effects—Fire or Acid. Apply this right before the rewind, as DoTs often continue ticking even when the boss attempts to heal. Meanwhile, you dodge the rapid-fire phase by constantly sliding and climbing.

DLC Roadmap and Post-Launch Content

Borderlands 4 has four major story updates planned. Each one will focus on a key character pulled from previous game timelines. You can expect new skill trees for your Vault Hunter (a fifth tree for everyone). Additionally, expect plenty of new Legendary gear with each big update. Ultimately, this guarantees the meta will keep shifting, ensuring you never run out of reasons to hunt for that perfect gun

Borderlands 4 Player’s Guide Glossary

This is a quick-reference guide to all the weird, new terms and mechanics you need to know to survive on Kairos and start building your Vault Hunter.

• Vex (The Commando): She’s the tank of the group! This new Vault Hunter specializes in soaking up damage and dishing out massive shock and explosive damage with her Gravity Slam Action Skill.
• Action Skill (Your Super Power): The signature, ultra-powerful ability unique to each Vault Hunter (like Phase Cloak or Gravity Slam). Using this skill is key because it usually triggers your most powerful Anointment bonuses.
• Amon (The Operative): The precision damage dealer. He uses stealth, critical hits, and decoys to set up huge shots or reposition safely mid-fight.
• Anointment (The ‘God Roll’ Bonus): This is the random, powerful modifier you chase on Purple and Legendary gear. It grants massive, temporary buffs that are almost always tied to using your Action Skill.
• Chronos (The Villain): The main antagonist and mastermind behind the Timekeeper Syndicate. He’s obsessed with controlling and rewriting all timelines—so he’s a massive problem.
• Chronos Difficulty (The Real Endgame): The new, scaling difficulty system that replaces the old Mayhem Levels. Increasing this level is how you get exponentially better loot, but be warned: the modifiers are brutal.
• Chrono-Raid Bosses (The Big Leagues): Ultra-difficult, lengthy raids designed for four highly coordinated players. They feature no checkpoints and drop exclusive, top-tier Legendary gear.
• Coopetition Mode (The Old Way): A classic co-op setting where loot is shared among players. If you grab it first, you keep it. (Be ready for some friendly arguments!)
• Cooldown Rate: How fast your Action Skill recharges after use. It’s the most critical stat to lower if you want to keep your Anointment buffs running non-stop.

• Digirunner (Your Ride): The new, fully customizable all-terrain vehicle. A huge plus is that its weapons can be infused with your Vault Hunter’s main elemental damage type.
• Elemental Damage (The Color Match): The five primary damage types (Fire, Shock, Corrosive, Cryo, Radiation) that correspond to enemy health bar colors. Matching your element to the enemy’s color is mandatory for high damage.
• Endgame (Post-Story Fun): The phase of the game after the main story, focused entirely on maxing out your character power through Chronos Difficulty farming, Chrono-Raid Bosses, and build optimization.
• Harlowe (The Siren): The master of crowd control and elemental destruction. She uses her Singularity Pulse Action Skill to group up enemies before detonating them with massive area-of-effect damage.
• Instanced Loot Mode (The Good Way): The recommended co-op setting where every player receives their own personal, level-scaled loot stream. It promotes teamwork by preventing arguments over drops.
• Kairos (The New Planet): The huge, unstable new world setting. It’s geographically fractured into three distinct time epochs (Prehistoric, Cyberpunk, Ruined Future), constantly presenting new hazards.
• Legendary (The Gold Standard): The highest rarity of gear (Orange/Gold). These items feature totally unique special effects and are the foundation of all top-tier builds.
• Maliwan (Manufacturer): The weapon maker specializing in Elemental Damage. Their guns always cycle between two elements and require a brief charge-up before firing.
• Phase Cloak (Action Skill): Amon’s primary skill. It makes him momentarily invisible and spawns a decoy, allowing him to reposition, revive, or line up guaranteed critical hits.
• Rafa (The Beastmaster): He fights alongside his fiercely loyal alien pet, Rix. Rafa excels at drawing enemy fire, staying alive, and using pet damage for consistent output.
• Rix Rampage (Action Skill): Rafa’s pet skill. It temporarily turns Rix into a massive, aggressive, and invulnerable tank for rapid enemy clearing.
• Storage Deck Upgrades (SDUs): These are the crucial upgrades you buy with in-game cash to permanently expand your backpack and bank space. Buy them ASAP!
