Borderlands 4: Loveless Overview

Loveless is an ex-Anshin hacker, who has now turned to a life of assassination.

Her kit is largely defined by a lore-tied digital virus, who she shares her consciousness with. She will often refer to herself in cutscenes as "we", and uses this virus of hers as a pet during combat. Aside from this, she's also kitted out with other cyber themed tools which help her dominate the battlefields of Kairos.

Loveless will be released alongside the Story Pack 2 DLC in early September 2026

Much like the other Vault Hunters in the game, Loveless features 3 distinct action skills which can be used to her advantage in the game. Each skill also has a unique mechanic called Executables & Functions. These are special functionalities given to each skill depending on how the button input is used.

Skill 1: Plague Star

Loveless digistructs a massive Shuriken into her hand and throws it at her target, Piercing enemies, dealing Corrosive Action Skill Damage, and inflicting enemies with Contagion, which deals Corrosive Status Effect Damage over time for a duration. If an enemy suffering from Contagion dies, the virus seeks new hosts and inflicts them with a portion of the Contagion Stacks that the original enemy had. 

• Executable: Press and hold this Action Skill to detonate all Contagions, consuming them and dealing Corrosive Action Skill Damage in an area.

Skill 2: Visual Paradox Nexus

Loveless activates her Visual Paradox Nexus for a duration, increasing Movement Speed and Critical Hit Damage. Killing an enemy while Visual Paradox Nexus is active causes Loveless to enter Stealth for a brief duration and creates a Clone at the location of the killed enemy. Only one Clone can exist at a time. 

• Function: Pressing Action Skill again will send out a Slash with a Kusarigama, creating a wave of Radiation Melee Damage. If Loveless is in Stealth, the Kusarigama attack will Critically Hit and end Stealth.

Skill 3: Malignant Construct

Press Action Skill to Summon a digital Wyrm to fight by Loveless' side. When Loveless summons Wyrm, she gains Symbiosis Stacks, allowing her to benefit from Symbiosis Effects. Symbiosis Stacks deplete over time. Loveless gains Symbiosis when Wyrm kills an enemy or by using certain Passives.

• Function: Press Action Skill while Wyrm is out to order them to Teleport towards an enemy, dealing Radiation Damage in an area around them. 
• Executable: Press and hold Action Skill while Wyrm is out to order them to use a powerful Breath Attack on an enemy, dealing Radiation Melee Damage.

In addition to her action skills, Loveless also has a class-specific trait which effects the way she plays as a whole. Here's is the overview of her unique trait: RAM

RAM is a special bar that fills up as she scores Critical Hits or inflicts Status Effects on enemies, which are both fundamental strengths of her overall kit. Once the RAM bar is full, Loveless' next melee attack will be Empowered with amped-up damage, as she wields her Techno-Kagi claws to slice up a nearby, soon-to-be-dead target.

Here's a look at some of Loveless' unique character cosmetics. Not all of them are included within the base game. You can check them out below.
