Kingdom Come Deliverance translator allegedly fired amid AI push to ‘save finances’: ‘My position at the company would become obsolete in favour of using AI for all translations’

AI is slowly crawling over the gaming industry, aiming first at those areas of game development that are “easiest” to replace, or rather, those where AI can produce results that would be “good enough” to a corporate suit and much cheaper than hiring an actual human to perform heavily contextualized work.

And while I expected this to happen sooner rather than later, I never thought I’d see studios that have built up a lot of goodwill and reputation in the industry be the first ones to jump on this horrible wagon. In a Reddit post verified by moderators, a former employee of Warhorse Studios, the developers of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance games, alleged they were made “obsolete” in their role as a translator as the company aims to replace all localization work with artificial intelligence.

“Yesterday, March 27th, 2026, with no forewarning, I was invited to a meeting and promptly told that, in an effort to ‘make the company more effective’ and ‘save finances,’ as of next month, my position at the company would become ‘obsolete’ in favor of using AI for all translations going forward,” the employee, identifying themself as Max H, said.

They supposedly worked at the company for around four years and were “vocally” opposed to using AI in translation, but never to the degree that’d make them a target for a potential layoff.

Max H’s firing is especially worrying as they were in what’s perhaps the most important localization team in Warhorse Studios, the one translating Kingdom Come: Deliverance from its native Czech into the most-spoken language in the world—English. Getting a Slavic language, such as Czech, into a Germanic one like English can be a painstaking process where a lot of contextual knowledge of both languages and their related cultures is necessary to make the translation feel natural.

I myself occasionally do translation work from a Slavic language (Montenegrin) to English, and I can’t even begin to describe how challenging it often is to successfully produce a high-quality localization that retains the original meaning and poetry of the language while feeling natural in a new cultural environment.

Using AI in such cases, especially since game writing oftentimes involves literary and poetic language, will undoubtedly produce poor results, as it can perform literal translations well but rarely localizes in a meaningful way. Instead, it averages the translation out and produces the closest result in meaning, but rarely retains either the style or the flair the original text might have had.

Warhorse Studios had built up an incredible reputation in the gaming industry, having put out the two Kingdom Come: Deliverance games to massive success and praise, especially due to the studio’s adherence to historical accuracy and presenting things in an uncompromised manner. However, this move, if true, is a sure-fire way to compromise everything the studio might be working on and will only result in the overall reduction in quality of subsequent releases.

And all of that to save a few dozen grand on projects that already cost tens of millions of dollars.

Such is our reality in 2026.

Borderlands 4‘s first Story Pack: Mad Ellie & The Vault of the Damned has introduced a new C4SH Vault Hunter, and he has eight class mods for you to find. Interestingly, the mods can be obtained by defeating bosses in the base game, but you’ll need to farm them (unless you’re really lucky).

This guide will list how to get all eight mods and how they work.

How to get all C4SH class mods in Borderlands 4

The table below has all the required information you’ll need to find the class mods.

Class Mod	Effect	Boss Name
Cooler	Whenever C4SH deals Ordnance Damage to an enemy, that enemy becomes Jinxed. Whenever C4SH kills a Jinxed enemy, he gains +20% Ordnance Cooldown Rate for 12 seconds. This effect stacks up to 10 times.	Vault Guardian Origo
Gamer	Whenever C4SH Critically Hits an enemy with a Gun, Bleed that enemy. Whenever C4SH kills an enemy with Bleed with a Critical Hit, he gains a 7% Chance to spawn a Chaos Totem. While Windfall is active, double that Chance.	Mad Ellie World Drop Nightmare Rifts
Hoolingan	Whenever C4SH kills an enemy, gain a stack of Hooligan. Whenever C4SH deals Grenade Damage, consume all Hooligan Stacks and deal +40% Bonus Fire Damage per Stack. If Windfall is active, only consume half of the Stacks. C4SH can have up to 25 Hooligan Stacks.	Bloomreaper The Invincible
Hotshot	Cross-Fire’s Burst Fire is replaced with a Beam Spin Attack that deals Fire Damage. If Windfall is active, these Beams always Critically Hit enemies.	Vile Lictor
Ludopath	Whenever C4SH rolls his Bone Dice, he gains Ludopath Stacks equal to the roll. C4SH gains +3% Fire Rate and +5% Movement Speed for every Ludopath Stack. C4SH has a max of 36 Ludopath Stacks, and each Stack lasts for 12 seconds.	Vault Guardian Inceptus
Rounder	Sleight of Hand gains Reduced Charges. Whenever C4SH kills an enemy with a Card, he gains 2 Charges and resets his Action Skill Duration	Idolator Sol
Whale	C4SH’s Action Skill Cooldown Rate is reduced to 0, and all Action Skill Cooldown Rate bonuses are converted into Action Skill Damage. Whenever he gains a Stack of Fortune, he restores 10% of his Action Skill Cooldown, gains 20% Fire Rate, and 25% Reload Speed for 8 seconds.	Ripper Queen Callis
Windrider	Whenever C4SH kills an enemy with a Critical Hit from a Gun, he doubles his Fortune Stacks. Killing an enemy with a Gun drains half of C4SH’s Fortune Stacks. Whenever C4SH gains Fortune, he restores 5% of his Maximum Health. Whenever C4SH loses Fortune, he gains 8% of his Max Overshield.	Vault Guardian Radix

The exact stats of the class mods will be completely random. If you’re solely going for the Legendaries, you’ll need to improve the difficulty. However, there’s no guarantee of how many attempts you’ll require to get the mods.

Some of the mods are harder to find than the rest, with the Gamer being at the top. This is due to how rare Nightmare Rift spawns are. On top of that, you have to depend on the boss dropping the mod once it’s defeated.
