In a game with a billion different guns and parts making for absurd concoctions, it's easy to overlook your defences. Of course, it's still Borderlands, so your defence typically includes more offence, and there's few better examples of this than the Super Soldier legendary shield in Borderlands 4.
Borderlands 3 players might recognise that name, as the Super Soldier is actually one of the many returning legendaries from the previous game, alongside the likes of the Hellwalker and Kaoson. While these other callbacks have seen quite a bit of shakeup, the Super Soldier remains largely the same, and that's far from a bad thing.
