Borderlands 2 has a very dubious reputation in the gaming community. Some users complain that the game is monotonous and boring, while others praise it as a decent network shooter. Today we will consider the characters of this shooter and try to answer the question of how boring she really is.
Saves
If you originally played alone, you can switch to the licensed version of Steam to save characters for Borderlands 2. So you get the opportunity to continue your adventures with pumped characters with other players.
Of the minuses, it is worth noting that you will not get many achievements of "Steam", which means that at least once you have to go through the game again.
Salvador
Heroes are one of the main features of Borderland 2. The characters in this game are also classes at the same time. In many similar projects, when choosing a "spell" you specify only its appearance and a small set of equipment that it can use. In Borderlands 2, character classes also have their own leveling, as well as skills that are responsible for using one or another weapon.
The first we will consider the hero of El Salvador. He is a "schizostrel", or "zerk", on the slang of gamers. The ability to heal from the damage done and the constant increase in regeneration upon receiving damage make it one of the most tenacious.
In total, there are three branches of development that make Salvador a real killing machine. The skills in them are not distributed according to any principle and give a wide variety of bonuses.
- Obsession.
- In the first row of abilities, you can increase the speed of changing weapons, as well as critical damage. Another skill increases rate of fire after reloading.
- The second row gives passive damage when shooting, as well as the speed of the store change. In addition, after changing weapons, the first shot does a little more damage.
- The hero receives an increase in damage, or, depending on the chosen weapon, increases the damage from the last bullet or instantly changes the clip when killing.
- Kill rate and damage.
- Increase all damage when rolling back the main skill.
- Riot.
- In the first row, both skills are aimed at increasing the volume of the store and the number of shots.
- The next row will increase the reload speed and melee damage, which is useless for this class. In addition, the duration of the active skill increases.
- You have the opportunity to increase the volume of the store by adding a cartridge, instead of spending it when shooting. Other skills speed up the recovery of an active skill and its accuracy.
- It increases the effect of schizostrel after the murder, and also allows you to throw two grenades at once without the additional expenditure of ammunition.
- In the fifth row, you can reduce the reload time of the schizostrel.
- And in the end, you will find the most useful skill that gives rate of fire and reload.
- The muscles.
- All skill effects are focused on survival. The player should first of all be interested in skills in lines 2 and 5, which give health regeneration.
In general, this is the most unbalanced hero in Borderlands 2. The best character, so to speak. Most players believe that he is too strong, because alone is able to go through most of the activities of the game.
Mayan
It is very unexpected to meet this class in a shooter. In the game, Maya is a "siren", which is most consistent with magicians in ordinary RPGs. It uses the capture skill, sending opponents for a while in another dimension. Accordingly, the skills are aimed at strengthening it.
- Traffic.
- At the very beginning, you will have the opportunity to increase your shield supply and fire damage.
- In the second row, you can increase the duration of the capture. And when committing a murder, you will begin to deflect bullets back at enemies.
- In the third stage, you will increase the capabilities of the shield and the main skill.
- After this follows a series of skills that strengthen the capture, and at the end transform it into submission, under the influence of which the enemy begins to attack his allies.
- Harmony.
- A series of skills aimed at supporting the group. For the most part, they are responsible for restoring health and strengthening during the capture.
- In addition, in this thread you can learn the reflection of damage and several melee techniques.
- Cataclysm.
- Everything you need for a firearm. The skill branch is aimed at causing additional damage in various game situations.
It turns out a very ambiguous character. In Borderlands 2, character levels are limited to 72, but you can only distribute 66 skill points. You have to choose - to pump for solo passage or to increase skills to support the entire group.
Exton
Despite the fact that this character belongs to the class of "commandos", in ordinary games he could be attributed to the "engineer". His main active ability is to activate the automatic Saber turret. Accordingly, secondary skills will be aimed at enhancing it.
- Partisan.
- In the first two rows you can strengthen your turret, or increase damage and reload your own weapons.
- Further, the character is able to get a small heal and add a new type of attack for the turret.
- Further more. You can increase the number of grenades carried and damage when the shield is completely reset.
- The most powerful ability sets an additional weapon on the turret and increases the damage to the target of the turret from any other type of projectile.
- Powder.
- A line of skills aimed at improving personal attacking characteristics.
- You can also install the turret at a greater distance from yourself, and its appearance will also be accompanied by an explosion.
- Survival.
- First, the level of maximum health and the volume of the shield increase.
- Then there is an increase in skills when health drops to a critical point.
- The turret improves - an additional shield appears and the ability to place it on the walls and ceiling.
- Some may like the ability, which gives a chance not to take fatal damage, but to restore 50% of health.
- There is an opportunity to put a second turret.
Thus, we got a character who should hide behind shelters and, using a turret, eliminate opponents.
Zero
We continue to consider classes in Borderlands 2. A new character (compared to the previous part) is a killer. And his skills are appropriate. Deception allows you to leave a double and go into invisibility. Moreover, the longer you go unnoticed, the more damage you do.
- Sniper.
- The entire branch is responsible for the accuracy and increase of critical damage.
- In addition, improved ownership of sniper rifles.
- Cunning.
- Damage increases when certain conditions are met. Skills are well suited for those who have already decided on the style of the game.
- Slaughter.
- The branch is responsible for close combat. If you have good equipment, you can remain invisible longer, while cutting enemies in turn.
This class is well suited for those who play in a group and prefer to remain undetected, rather than go head-on at the enemy. The lack of good healing skills will be another test for you.
Gage
Despite the fact that in Borderland 2 the characters are very diverse, this is the second "calling" class - mechromantka. Her main skill is to call a robot that attacks in melee and lightning.
- Best friend.
- A series of passive skills that improve both the character and the robot.
- Little big trouble.
- All skills are aimed at increasing damage. The only negative is that they all work only with some probability.
- Ordered chaos.
- A dubious branch reinforcing some characteristics at the expense of others.
It’s difficult enough to control a hero if you have just started playing Borderland 2. The characters (which you should choose from) are very diverse, and Gage is recommended strictly for those players who already have experience and clearly understand the action of all mechanics.
Krieg
The most “fun” class in the game. The closest analogue to it will be a berserker. The character uses pilotopor and prefers close combat. When killing an enemy, it completely restores health.
- Thirst for blood.
- Allows you to accumulate on the character an effect with the appropriate name.
- Depending on the number of levels of bloodlust, it increases a number of player parameters.
- Mania.
- This tree of skills allows Krieg to strengthen himself in case of loss of health and dying state.
- In addition, it contains some useful skills if you play in a group.
- Infernal hell.
- Here you can increase your own damage due to elemental attacks, in particular, fire attacks.
To play for this character is difficult enough if only because his vitality constantly fluctuates somewhere in the middle, balancing on the verge of life and death.
Appearance
That's all. In Borderland 2, characters are limited to just six classes. But even in this situation, the developers have found a way to diversify the choice. At the start, the player is given the opportunity to choose one of three external looks (head + body separately).
In addition, in Borderlands 2 character heads and skins can be obtained by completing certain tasks, making achievements, and knocking out bosses. This way you can customize your character as much as you like.
