Assassin One

Following a lifetime spent honing his skills of assassination, Zane decides he isn't ready for retirement. Using the latest cutting-edge technology to enhance his abilities (and his hair), he becomes the most fearsome hired killer in the galaxy and makes sure that if he's going to be the last thing someone sees, he's going to look good.

Thinking about Zane’s cybernetics!

I know Bane is part of the Multiverse, which... may or may not be technically canon, just in a different universe??? 

I’m just thinking about how Zane has two obvious cybernetic enhancements, and two I ASSUME are cybernetics. His echo-eye, his echo-port, of course. But I assume the ear piece is also connected AND his claw!

The reason I think the claw is connected to his cybernetics is because Bane can also use it. It’s the exact same model! Assassin One was promoed with a different one, but in game had Zane’s original one.

But! I’m confused. Bane does NOT have Zane’s echo-port or earpiece. You can’t see his eyes too well to tell if he has the echo-eye. I’d assume it’s not there! But, he can use the claw.

I had originally thought the claw might have been activated with Zane’s wrist guard things, located moreso near the cuffs closer to his hands, where the yellow triangle symbol is. 

Since Assassin One was promoed with a different one, and Bane was promoed with Zane’s original one, AND Bane does not have the echo-port or ear piece, I assume it was intentional! (I was told his original face model was used for Bane, so there’s no secrets under that mask)

It seems like Bane was likely a prisoner turned psycho, which gives me the idea that his cybernetics were removed in the process, BUT, that echoport would definitely leave a scar... 

Basically my rant is, Zane’s claw seems to be cybernetic, BUT ALSO, he probably got the other cybernetics after the claw AND ALSO, not too long before the events of Borderlands 3? Simply because Bane had joined the COV to escape the people trying to kill him, and the COV had only been a thing for so long!

Uhhh, ranty rambly over!
