Spec Out Your Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Character Right Now
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is coming in just a few weeks, but Gearbox knows that some of its fans like to meticulously plan their character progression. To that end, there are some new tools available today to help you decide if you want to start with Athena, Wilhelm, Nisha, or Claptrap.
The Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel skill builder starts you with 48 points, and allows you to progress through one, two, or all three branches just like you’d already played the game for hours. Be sure to check out the bottom skill on Claptrap’s center tree (I Love You Guys).
Gearbox and 2K Australia will unleash the third full Borderlands title on October 14 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. For more, check out a trailer about the new features hosted by the very loud Mister Torgue and Sir Hammerlock.
Our Take
These extra steps that developers and publishers take always make me happy. I love the idea of min-maxing characters before starting and I’m one of those players that respecs depending on whether I’m solo or with friends. Plus, you get to check out some of the very funny skills (be sure to spend some time with Wilhelm, too).
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
