You know those pants you’ve got that are all soaked-through with excitement-piss because Borderlands 2 is coming out in 10 days? You may want to put those back on for a moment. I mean, there’s no sense ruining those pants you’re wearing. That is, of course, assuming you’re wearing pants at the moment. But since this is the internet, that’s probably not a safe bet.
In any case, Gearbox just released a little web app you’ll want to check out. The full skill trees for each of the four basic classes in Borderlands 2 are not only available, but usable. That’s right, you can hop onto a browser-based skill tree load-out for each class and plan out some character builds, Gearbox has given you 46 skill points to play with, which is just enough to make some interesting builds.
You can access the skill tree builder through the main site’s characters page, then click your badass of choice and look for the giant yellow “View Skill Tree” link in the bottom left. Alternatively, you can use these fancy direct links provided by me at no extra charge:
Gearbox is still working on adding more functionality to the app. Soon (hopefully) you’ll be able to share your builds with friends and right-click to remove skill points. (At present you have to use the “Reset” button if you add a skill point to the wrong place accidentally.)
And while you’re there, be sure to check out the awesome and informative new video on their media page called “Borderlands 2: An Introduction by Sir Hammerlock.”
Enjoy, fellow gaming enthusiasts. As for me, I’ve got to go put my own excitement-piss-soaked pants in the washer. Just kidding, I’m not wearing pants either.
