“I had a lot of goals with but one was to put the players in the shoes of the psychos they’ve fought for two games,” said Paul Hellquist, the creative director of the game and the man behind Krieg. And so the game’s developers wanted to shake things up a little with its latest downloadable addition to the game, which originally hit store shelves in October, by turning the tables a bit. Those who play the games know bandits as one of the game’s most ubiquitous types of enemy.
#Borderlands 2 krieg update
Krieg is available and ready for carnage on Steam, PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live for $9.99.Borderlands 2 developers over at the game studio Gearbox released a major new update to their hit game Tuesday, introducing a completely new playable character: Krieg, the axe-wielding psycho-bandit.īut how did they come up a character like that? To say that I am excited to create chaos with him is an understatement. I mean seriously, he is the craziest, most sadistic, and violent member to join an already insane cast of characters. However, this bad boy has changed my mind. I maxed up Zer0 and wasn’t too crazy about the other playable Vault Hunters. I haven’t played Borderlands 2 for a while. It focuses on elemental effects, particularly setting yourself on fire to give you added bonuses.įor example the Raving Retribution skill allows you to spawn fireballs that seek out attackers and explode on impact. This final tree is for the masochists out there. If he doesn't, he dies (albeit in the most bad-ass way possible). If he is able to kill someone with this final explosion, he achieves a Second Wind. If the timer runs out before he manages to get a kill, the bundle of dynamite Krieg is holding detonates. In lieu of using a gun, Krieg will take out a bundle of dynamite, and tosses them at enemies until they die, allowing him to get a Second Wind. Krieg is able to move at normal movement speed while in this skill is active. Instead of entering Fight for Your Life when downed, Krieg enters a unique state called Light the Fuse. No jokes here, that is just freaking awesome!Īnother great new skill is Light the Fuse. Yes you read that right…you can transform into a Badass Psycho Mutant. Buzz Axe Rampage is instantly recharged afterwards. It will instantly refill your health and transform you into a Badass Psycho Mutant with +100% Melee Damage and +50% Damage Reduction. The Release the Beast skill will activate the Buzz Axe Rampage when Krieg is at or below 33% of max health.
It adds new character capabilities that put other Vault Hunters to shame. Maniaįocuses on melee combat and Health/Fight For Your Life mechanics. This tree will help you increase gun damage, clip size, and even adds a potential nova explosion effect on the death of an enemy ( Bloodsplosion).
Stacks will decay after 3 seconds if you haven’t dealt damage at a rate of 1 stack per second. Increases gun capabilities using a Bloodlust stack mechanic. Dealing damage to an enemy adds a stack of Bloodlust, with a maximum of 100. Krieg brings 3 new skill trees, adding some crazy new gameplay potential. You can even throw your enormous axe at enemies and have it instantly return like some kind of razor sharp boomerang. Killing an enemy will instantly refill health, while taking damage accelerates cool down recharge. His Action Skill is Buzz Axe Rampage, which increases Melee damage (+500% ) and movement speed for 15 seconds.
He brings a new high risk, high reward play style that focuses on turning damage received into pain for the enemy. Krieg is a melee heavy character, leaving even Zer0 wishing he carried a bigger stick. You can still see glimpses of Krieg’s former humanity, but he has channeled his new insanity into a destructive force used to bring bloody justice and chaos to Pandora.īasically if Batman had no qualms with hacking baddies into meaty chunks. If he were to ever kill an innocent, the normally quiet inner voice would take over and commit suicide to kill them both. This more restricted personality has become Krieg’s voice of reason, compelling him to only kill the deserving (which he does with pleasure). The only thing that keeps him in control is the small remnant of his former self. The dominant side is that of a super violent, sadistic marauder. As a result, his psyche has split into two distinct personalities: one of a killing machine, and the other his voice of reason. A former Vault Hunter, he was captured by Hyperion scientists and extensively experimented on.
