Borderlands 2 Gunzerker profiled, Siren gameplay will be ‘very, very different’
We saw the new Gunzerker class in the Borderlands 2 teaser trailer released way back in August, but Gearbox has shared a little more information about just how the gun-wielding brute will work. The class is a dual-wielder of weapons, but can only bring out two guns for a limited amount of time, which means the player will have to make tough decisions about which guns to wield and when. Combine an electric machine gun with a flaming shotgun to drop shields and do flame damage? Sure, why not!
There are three skill trees in the class: One has skills like “Yippe Ki Yay,” which extend your berzerk mode when you make a kill. The second tree is more of a tank tree, with abilities that boost your heath and even a taunt to drive enemies to attack you (instead of weaker teammates). Finally, there’s a tree called “Gun Lust” that seems targeted more towards solo play, with vampiric attacks available, and special skills like one that grants more damage to the last bullet in a clip, or another that provides extra shots with no ammo cost.
Gearbox has also confirmed that the Siren class will return to the game, but says it won’t necessarily be a phasewalker like the last time out. Instead, the gameplay will be “very, very different and very, very new,” according to lead writer Anthony Burch. That sounds … ominous, no? Maybe she’ll take a tip from the Dragonborn and have some singing attacks.Borderlands 2 Gunzerker profiled, Siren gameplay will be ‘very, very different’ originally appeared on Joystiq on Wed, 28 Dec 2011 22:15:00 EST.
