Gearbox Software's online first-person shooter video game 'Battleborn' is all set to release its second of five new free playable characters 'Pendles'. The stealthy, snake-like assassin will be joining as the 27th hero of the game.
The reptilian character is presently offered to both season pass holders and deluxe edition owners.
Pendles will be released to the public on August 4, across all platforms. The update can also be grabbed or unlocked for 47,500 credits earned in the game. The developers also provided a loop for gamers with the Season Pass that they could avail an early access and a hero key to immediately unlock the hero.
Pendles is a cold-blooded killer and a member of the Rogue faction, which hails from the same water planet as Alani, Akopos, who were the last unlocked heroes of the game.
As with most other characters, Pendles left home to explore and discover other cultures. However, he was unenthusiastic with the new finding, and so eventually finds pleasure in killing those cultures, for which he is also paid.
His primary attack utilises his 'Dual Kama' in a flurry of strikes, while in the secondary attack, he throws a ranged 'Throwing Star'. His attacks also include 'Corner Sneak', in which Pendles' cloak turns on when he becomes out of line-of-sight of rivals.

Some of his other attacks include Smoke Bomb, Injection and Miasma, in which his poison acts like a core element in weapons.
Battleborn has also provided gamers with a new SHiFT code with an updated end date as the code will expire on August 14. The code is applicable on gaming consoles like PS4, Xbox and PCs. The SHiFT codes are extremely valuable to gamers as they unlock golden keys and bring rewards.
