From Vault Hunters to Glass Connoisseurs
GUNNAR Optiks, a pioneer in gaming eyewear known for its patented blue‑light blocking and eye‑strain reducing lenses, has partnered with 2K Games to launch an exclusive Borderlands 4 collection—the first drop: the “Ripper” eyewear line.
Inspired by Kairos’s savage Ripper bandits, the glasses tap into the franchise’s comic‑book aesthetic with bold outlines, flat‑shade color blocks, and angular frames that scream mania and mayhem.
Design That Yells Borderlands
- Visual Style: The frames don signature “comic” shading and vibrant bandit‑like hues in the Bandit Smoke palette, capturing that gritty, high‑contrast look from Borderlands lore.
- Form Meets Function: With a high-wrap silhouette and multi-barrel hinges, the frame provides immersive field coverage, headset compatibility, and snug long-term wear—practical for both gaming marathons and desert missions.
Tech Specs & Lens Options
These Ripper glasses are built on GUNNAR’s Signature-level performance platform, offering two lens options tailored for different needs:
- Amber (GBLF‑65): Optimized for indoor gaming, reduces eye strain, enhances contrast, and blocks up to 65% blue light.
- Sun (GBLF‑90): Covers 100% UV protection—ideal for outdoor use or bright setups.
GUNNAR’s lens system also corners visible glare, dry-eye, and visual fatigue, backed by its patented technology with clinical backing.
Extras & Collectible Appeal
- Each pair ships with a collector-themed microfiber pouch and custom cleaning cloth, both branded with Borderlands 4 motifs.
- A 12‑month warranty comes standard, reinforcing both collectible value and practical assurance.
Price & Availability
- Priced at $74 USD, the Ripper frames sit in GUNNAR’s mid‑range tier—offering themed flair without a steep premium.
- Initially available via GUNNAR.com, with Amazon availability slated shortly after launch.
