Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Skill Trees Explained
With Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel release date being tomorrow, it’s the right time for you to get to know the skill trees of the playable characters in the game. If you’re still unsure what character or talent tree you should pick, we have links to the officially released skill tree generators below.
With 4 different characters available in the game, each character’s role depends on the skill tree you choose.
Claptrap’s trees are divided into three categories: be it explosive, (Boomtrap) cooperative (I Love You Guys!) or a bit more for the advanced players (Fragmented Fragtrap).
Claptrap’s skill tree generator
Her skill trees are all offensive, and are a mix between gunfire, melee and slams (Law & Order), dual wielding weapons (Fan the Hammer) or the long range re-loader (The RifleWoman).
Nisha the Lawbringer’s skill tree generator
The Hunter-Killer buffs different acrobatic skills such as air speed, damage and targeting controls for the Wolf, while Cyber Commando skill tree transforms him into a complete cyborg changing his appearance completely. The Dreadnought skill tree is a bit of a supportive one. What makes him a very good support are: the boosts of his shields, decrease of cooldown duration for Wolf and Saint, deploying of a large healing zone for your whole party called “Zero Hour” and the “Overcharge” buff for movement speed, fire rates, reload speed and ammo regeneration for your entire party.
