Borderlands 4 Shouldn’t Miss The Chance to Revive a Neat BL3 Strategy

by

As a veteran gamer with countless hours spent in the vibrant world of Pandora, I can’t help but yearn for the return of one particular feature that brought a unique twist to my gaming experience – the Vault Insider Program (VIP) from the Borderlands franchise.

In essence, Borderlands 4 stands to benefit immensely by incorporating elements from previous series installments, including spin-offs like Tales From The Borderlands and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Among the many aspects that Borderlands 4 should adopt from its predecessors, one critical element it shouldn’t overlook is reinstating the Vault Insider Program (VIP).

As an avid fan of the Borderlands series, I fondly remember the VIP service that offered exclusive in-game rewards across Borderlands 2, The Pre-Sequel, and Borderlands 3. By engaging with community content outside the game, players could beef up their in-game arsenals in anticipation of BL3’s release. Regrettably, this service was shut down in May, 2020; however, reintroducing this insider approach for Borderlands 4 would undeniably be a win-win situation for both the community and the franchise.

Why Borderlands 3’s VIP Rewards Deserve a Comeback

The VIP rewards in Borderlands primarily served to generate excitement for the upcoming release of Borderlands 3, but they also encouraged players to re-engage with previous games. By checking out new trailers, blog articles, and related content, players could secure free weapons, shields, grenade modifications, and character customization options for Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and Borderlands 3.

In the Borderlands games, the weapons, protective shields, and grenade modifications that were once exclusive rewards from the VIP system can now be obtained within each game organically. However, even though these items can be earned naturally, the VIP system remains an enjoyable method for players to broaden their collection of weaponry.

Borderlands’ VIP Rewards Could Help to Build Hype for Borderlands 4’s Release

Shortly following the debut of Borderlands 3, the VIP service for Borderlands was permanently shut down. As the expected launch date for Borderlands 4 inches closer, reinstating the VIP program for Borderlands could be beneficial, as it would help generate excitement for the upcoming game.

Following the unfavorable reception towards the Borderlands movie, the overall health of the Borderlands series appears to be precarious, making the launch of Borderlands 4 particularly crucial. Although the Borderlands movie might not have dampened the enthusiasm of long-term Borderlands enthusiasts for future games in the franchise, it could potentially dissuade potential new fans. Consequently, while Borderlands 4 is expected to draw a large audience among loyal fans, boosting its appeal with exclusive rewards for VIPs could help attract fresh players to the series.

Although the VIP system in Borderlands is no longer operational, players can still acquire complimentary in-game perks across the series by using Shift Codes for redemption.

Borderlands’ VIP Rewards Could Be the Key to Reintroducing Weapons From Past Borderlands Games

As a dedicated Borderlands fan, I can’t help but notice that certain weapons and crafting tools have popped up across different games in the series. It’s always exciting to see these familiar faces again, especially when it comes to the next installment, Borderlands 4. However, I’ve been pondering this thought – what if the recurrence of these weapons is hindering the franchise’s growth? Instead, perhaps it’s time we start crafting fresh, innovative tools for each new game. That way, we can keep the excitement and unpredictability alive in Borderlands 4!

As a dedicated Borderlands gamer, I can understand the excitement of revisiting familiar weapons from past games. But if we’re considering refreshing the gameplay experience for Borderlands 4, it might be wise to leverage the VIP system instead of completely removing returning weapons.
