Swapping to a powerful weapon like a sniper rifle would deal overkill damage to restore their health.Īs in the previous game, you can select skills from various trees, and combine them for more powerful effects. The No Kill Like Overkill skill converts any extra damage you do to an enemy to health for you. The third tree is Gun Lust, which focuses on unique abilities with guns. The Come At Me, Bro skill taunts enemies to focus their attention on you, reduces damage, and puts you at full health - providing a helpful distraction for your teammates.
The Brawn skill tree, meanwhile, seems more attuned to being a tank in multiplayer. The Yippe Ki Yay skill in the Rampage tree, for example, grants more gunzerking time for each kill, so large groups of enemies get laid to waste. The Rampage skill tree accents the 'berserker' roots of the character type, to make the dual-wielding more destructive. The Gunzerker's primary action skill is dual-wielding, but the wrinkles come from building from three skill trees to modify that ability. Now the studio has detailed the skills for one of those classes, the wild dual-wielding Gunzerker.
Gearbox Software is bringing some new classes to Borderlands 2, with lessons learned from the previous game's skill trees.
