Hey there, good lookin'! 😏
Proud to show ya my (almost ready)
Zane Flynt cosplay! 🔥
Well it was a long ride… On a bumpy road… During a really sunny day while your air conditioner isn't working.
BUT it was a lot of fun too! Getting back to Borderlands after years is a top tier experience, can't remember last time I was so inspired and hyped just to do things!
Zane Flynt, brother of the infamous bandits Captain and Baron Flynt, has been around the galactic block more than a few times. Over the years, he’s worked for, against, and along with every major corporation conducting espionage and assassinations for the highest bidder. With cutting edge technology and decades of mercenary experience, Zane uses his Sentinel Droid and other gadgets to disorient, disrupt, and destroy his targets.
Some more photos of my Zane cosplay, this time from @lc2350photography These look awesome! Can’t wait to wear Zane again soon. #borderlands3 #borderlands #borderlands2 #borderlandscosplay #borderlands3cosplay #cosplay #zaneflynt #zanetheoperative #zane #flynt #mayhemiscoming https://www.instagram.com/p/ByYkPNwjcA9/?igshid=11ukeh5u91irk
Observing Zane Flynt WAY too closely! - Style Headcanons:
While looking at Zane’s cosplay guide, I’ve gotten a few ideas, so it’s time to share!
Hair:
-Zane cuts his own hair. He doesn’t trust anyone with anything sharp near him, so he does it himself. Looking at the back of his head, you can see it’s a tad messy/inconsistent, indicating (to me) that he has to do it himself and maybe he doesn’t always have access to a mirror while doing so, but he tries! And it WORKS.
-He probably keeps it short as to avoid being grabbed, also. Not so fun having your hair grabbed by someone swinging a blade around...
Jacket:
-Zane’s jacket is for sure his signature look. But if you look at the spider emblem on the back? It’s not perfectly symmetrical. He designed it himself AND sewed it himself.
-The jacket has some special abilities to it, most likely. The subtle lights, aesthetic for sure. He likely has some emergency measures inside of it to assist in keeping him alive. Maybe, if ever his hands are unavailable, something in his jacket allows him to activate his gadgets. Something inside to help him escape from any situation that’s a little too sticky for his liking...
Under Armour?:
-The black part of his outfit underneath the jacket/shirt? Under armour, of course. The part covering his neck? Added layer of protection. May not be completely bulletproof or damage proof, but it’s an extra layer between him and certain death, eh? Mistakes should be a learning lesson, of course.
-He probably has something hidden on his neck, whether it be scars from an attempt on his life, or some branding from one of the companies he’s worked for.
Pants:
-The layering of different fabrics makes me think that perhaps it was a gift, or a stolen idea, from Maliwan. (Maliwan was once friendly with him, as not only has he worked for literally everyone, it was pointed out to me that some Maliwan soldiers will excitedly say hello to Zane, before trying to kill him.) To me, it looks as if it’s supposed to be elemental-proof. (Gameplay aside!)
Boots:
-I personally think that he does have his flesh legs still, but perhaps the boots assist in his speed. The design confuses me a tad! With his almost wheezing after running, makes me think he might not be used to running so fast. Or he’s just got asthma. (cybernetic/prosthetic legs headcanon is totally valid, btw!) Maybe he does have some cybernetics in his legs, I have no idea.
-The lights at the toe of his boots? Hidden weapon! Perhaps it’s a hidden laser and if he needs to ever use it, he can do some cool kick and stab someone with his foot!
Overall/Random Ideas:
-He has hidden gadgets EVERYWHERE. Anything to help in a fight, anything to help if he’s ever in danger/at a disadvantage.
-The port on the side of his neck is connected to any/all of his cybernetics. Helps steal files and other spy stuff, of course. Helps download any upgrades/whatnot.
-The pockets on his belt hold important stuff, like emergency snacks, or maybe something to throw in people’s eyes.
-Zane is good at way too much and probably designed his entire outfit/other stuff bcuz AESTHETIC. Aesthetic is a completely valid reason. It meshes well with practicality, like a puzzle! Puzzles and problem solving are mmmm!!
Here’s the list of current requests in the inbox in the order to be answered:
Naoya Nifuji (Wotakoi) - Comfort for being bullied.
Saint Germain (Code Realize) - Just looking for someone to tell you that they’re proud of you.
Sephiroth (Final Fantasy) - You haven’t been feeling well, and you’ve messed up your relationship with your friends and you just want some comfort.

Tord (Eddsworld) - Comfort/Encouragement from Red Leader!Tord - you have been diagnosed with hEDS and now that you’ve gotten a diagnose you’re happy but you also feel a little useless
Zane Flynt (Borderlands) - TW Suicide Mention - Comfort for the fact that you feel worthless and useless and you hate yourself for being trans cause transphobic people are the worst.
Ignis and Prompto (FFXV) - TW Suicide Mention - Comfort as you’ve been trying to stay positive and nothing seems to be working. You feel like giving up and you’re tired of existing.
Albedo (Genshin Impact) - You recently got accepted into an art school but you are unsure if this will be worth it with how the economy is.
Ignis (FFXV) - You were in love with your best friend for years, and when you confessed they laughed at you, teased you, that you lack a dream.
Prompto (FFXV) - You’ve been working hard to be motivated on your cosplay during the Pandemic, but you just need a little comfort and encouragement.
I hope to have these completed soon for you, and then I will post again when the inbox is open for requests!

Much Love

Borderlands 3 Cosplay Guide Reveals New Background Lore Of The Four New Vault Hunters
The official Borderlands site has been updated to add in cosplay guides for the four new Vault Hunters in Borderlands 3. These are used for cosplayers to get more reference images to help in costume and prop making.
The guide also gives a one-paragraph summary of the new playable characters. While we do know their classes and, after the gameplay reveal event, we know of Amara’s and Zane’s personality, the summary gives some cool tidbits of all four of the Vault Hunters.
Amara is born in the slums of Partali- a location never heard of in the game series so far- and described as “brash, aggressive, and self-assured”. Meanwhile, the Irish lad Zane Flynt is confirmed to be brothers of Captain and Baron Flynt, previous Borderlands bosses that have met their demise. He also has years of experience working as a spy and assassin for major corporations.
The mysterious Fl4k is described as “an emergent AI driven in an ongoing quest for self-discovery”. They seem to not understand socialising with humans, which lead to their affinity to beasts. Moze is an ex-Vladof soldier who has toured over six galaxies, which explains the Russian-style imageries on her default costume. She was part of the Ursa Corps. which may relate to her ability to digistruct the Iron Bear mech.
You can find the cosplay guides over here. Even if you are interested in cosplay, it’s a cool way to see the intricacies of the new Vault Hunter’s designs. Which you might not get to appreciate as much since it’s a first-person looter-shooter.
Borderlands 3 will be out on the PS4, PC (Epic Games Store) and Xbox One on September 13th.

“I’m far too humble to say how good I look right now.” These are the last two photos I got back of Zane from the competition finals @2kuk held. Wanted to edit them together to create this masterpiece (and don’t worry I got permission from the tog: @hannahrhodes_ ) but then my PC started clunking out on me so I didn’t do it. But then just recently the magnificent @purplecreator_cosplays offered to do the edit for me, and damn do she do a fine ass job! (Better than what I could have done) so now you all get to see the fantastic picture too 😎 #borderlands #borderlands3 #borderlandscosplay #borderlands3cosplay #zaneflynt #zanetheoperative #zane #flynt #theoperative #borderlands2 #cosplay #vaulthunter #2k #gearbox #bl3 #hologram https://www.instagram.com/p/B65lZESjwDz/?igshid=jw5nnqr2ohuv
