Brawn - Focuses on tanking with an enlarged health pool and increased toughness.įor this class, players should decide between the two main fighting styles, Gun Lust and Rampage.Rampage - Focuses on extra ammunition, magazine size, and Gunzerking.Gun Lust - Focuses on swapping, reloading, and special gun abilities.The three skill trees for this class are: Salvador the Gunzerker - The Gunzerker class allows Salvador to dual-wield guns, and deal an incredible amount of damage. Though Cataclysm is the easy tree to dedicate random excess points into for any playstyle. For players wanting to focus on being more of a healer and pouring their points into Harmony, Motion meshes the best with the playstyle. After this, they should invest something into Harmony to help themselves stay in the fight as long as possible. Cataclysm - Focuses on adding more Elemental effects to her attacks.įor this class and its setup, players should pick between Motion and Cataclysm for their main damage type/fighting style.Harmony - Focuses on DPS and healing both herself and teammates for more of a healer class type.Motion - Focuses on crowd control by brainwashing enemies mixed with defense skills.Maya the Siren - The Siren class plays like a glass cannon character focused more on her magic ability. If Gunpowder is a player's favorite, they should decide between dealing more damage and feeling more safe and sturdy. If Guerilla is the favorite, putting a couple of points into Survival will help them stay on the battlefield for longer and vice versa. With this in mind players will likely want to mix and matched based on their favorite Skill Tree. Survival - Focuses on defensive abilities and healing, along with increasing the frequency at which the turret can be pulled out.Gunpowder - Focuses on making Axton better with explosives and mid-ranged guns as well as making the turret more of a distraction from the player.While being very damage-heavy, this skill tree doesn't offer much in the way of healing or defense. Guerrilla - Focuses on making the turret deal high and continuous damage.Except this commando's special ability is to bring out his own Dahl Sabre Turret which can be upgraded throughout the player's skill set choices and class mods. Each of these classes only belongs to the specific character and cannot be changed.Īxton the Commando - The Commando class plays much like a standard warrior or soldier class. The four base character classes are Axton the Commando, Maya the Siren, Salvador the Gunzerker, and Zer0 the Assassin. Pick up my sci-fi novels Herokiller and Herokiller 2, and read my first series, The Earthborn Trilogy, which is also on audiobook. More info to come, but we are getting very close to launch which is barely over two weeks away.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube and Instagram.

I’m glad I wasn’t farming those due to the level cap raise, and I guess I need to figure out what I’m going to do with five extra skill points if there’s not going to be a new skill tree to play with. Regardless, I am of course eager to play new Borderlands DLC, as there has not really been anything to do in the game since the last DLC outside of these mini-events. Or maybe it’s just not ready, and this was one thing delayed due to pandemic-era production, I’m not sure. I know they’re talking about this DLC later on today during the Bordercast, so maybe it will come up then. But nothing in this reveal or the press release I’m paraphrasing describes anything about new skill trees. Dataminers have found bits and pieces of new skill trees for each of the existing four classes, and it seems like this big DLC would be the perfect time to take those out for a test drive. One thing that is not mentioned here that I find curious is any news about a fourth skill tree for vault hunters. But after this one? No more…for a while, anyway. Which is how these level caps always work. So, essentially all the loot you are getting from the six weeks of special events leading up to this DLC is going to be outclassed by much better versions almost immediately. It seems like Vaulthalla might be an actual physical place we end up going to, but before that, all legendary loot we find in Krieg’s mind levels can also be used anywhere (duh).įinally, one thing that will probably be controversial among fans is another level cap raise, this time to 65, five whole points at once, and Gearbox promises that this will be the last cap raise for the foreseeable future.
