Borderlands 4 Vault Hunter Tier List: Worst to Best
In this video, I rank all the Vault Hunters in Borderlands 4 from worst to best based on solo power, endgame scaling, build flexibility, and overall fun factor. From Amon's powerful frontline, Hollow's control potential, Rapha's aggressive damage output, to Vex's sheer versatility, this is my Borderlands 4 Vault Hunter tier list.
1. 🎮 Borderlands 4 Vault Hunter Ranking Criteria
- ✅ Solo Power: How well can they perform alone?
- ✅ Endgame Content: Do they remain strong even when enemies get incredibly tough?
- ✅ Build Flexibility: Do they have a variety of viable setups, not just one gimmick build?
- ✅ Fun: If they're strong but feel like a chore to play, they won't be fun.
