Borderlands 4 places a bigger emphasis on buildcrafting the perfect Vault Hunter, and as many players have discovered, there's plenty of potential to create some truly broken builds in the game. This has led to some fears about an imminent nerf coming--especially to Vex, the witchy Siren who is capable of dishing out some truly ludicrous damage--but Gearbox says it won't "knee-jerk react" to what it sees from the Borderlands fandom, unless it poses a risk to the stability of the game...
