Preordering Borderlands 2 nets you a fifth character class to play as, the Mechromancer. This weekend at PAX Gearbox also announced the character would be released October 16, and would cost $9.99 or 800 MSP for those who didn’t preorder. Kotaku has reported on some additional details noted below.<\/p>\n
The big selling point about the Mechromancer is her skill tree called Best Friends Forever which is a newcomer friendly skill set allowing you to get less experienced friends in on the Borderlands action. This includes enhancements like missed shots ricocheting back at your target 50% of the time. That and Deathtrap, the Mechromancer’s robot will be more automated using this skill tree.<\/p>\n
This doesn’t mean the character is an easy mode addition to the game. There is at least one other skill tree called Ordered Chaos which allows you to create a more advanced player Mechro. This tree lets you stack abilities using a skill called anarchy. There’s also an ability in this tree to add bonus damage on a certain numbered hit in a\u00a0sequence of hits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
