![]() The capstone skill, Sharing Is Caring, grants a copy of your shield to Deathtrap. However, it doesn’t increase Deathtrap’s health, so he’ll most likely die not much longer after he would’ve been dispelled. ![]() Upshot Robot increases Deathtrap’s duration and both of your melee damage as long as keep killing fools and stacks almost without limit. ![]() The skill is largely useless and counterproductive with Deathtrap’s AI in the state it is now. And on you while you’re in Fight For Your Life mode, which is unhelpful. Buck Up, which is supposed to allow Deathtrap to restore the shields of a friendly target, is often used on enemies. I quite like using it with Blood Soaked Shields, which depletes health. Cooking Up Trouble grants you health regeneration when your magazine is full. It’s quite popular with Anarchy users, as it helps cancel out the insane accuracy penalty. Close Enough allows for up to half of your missed bullet to ricochet and hit enemies for half damage anyway. Don’t think of it as just the newbie tree though A number of skills synergize very well with Ordered Chaos skill. The Best Friends Forever tree is largely about buffing Deathtrap and increasing player survivability. It’s a pretty impressive piece of design. Whether you want to go all in one tree or spread out over all three, it’ll work. Gaige has quite a few more one point skills than the other characters, which I like. Best Friends Forever is largely aimed at newbies, Little Big Trouble is for intermediate and Ordered Chaos is for “hardcore” players. Like everyone else, Gaige has three action trees. Tali is unimpressed by Deathtrap's ability to render in front of things he is behind. Personally, I would suggest making it so using the action skill while pointing at an enemy cause him to attack it (or defend it if it’s an ally) until it’s dead or you tell him to kill something else and have holding down the action key dismiss him. A common request is for the ability to command him to focus on a target. It’s generally good enough, but when it fails it fails in ways that are annoying rather than ways that are funny. Long story short, Deathtrap’s AI needs work. He’s also fond of using his laser, which does massive damage to a single target, on the weakest enemy on a group. He’s also fond of attacking those shock cactus things, barrels and Jack statues with it, even in favor of the guys shooting him. He has an electric attack for fly enemies, which he uses on static enemies as well. This appear to happen mostly where enemy AI pathfinding is unconnected and happens extremely rarely (I encountered it once per ~10 hours). He’s generally sufficiently aggressive, but occasionally will fail to notice enemies attacking him from ten feet away. For more experienced players, he’s more useful as a tool than a weapon. The capstone ability in each tree changes his head, and the other skills add armor plates, spike or blades to his body.Īs an aid for newbies, he works well. A number of skills grant him new abilities and most, if not all (there is some uncertainty over one or two skills, and a few overlap), affect his appearance. He is insanely powerful at the lowest levels, reasonable in the 20s and 30s and still useful at in endgame play (more useful than Axton’s turret, but less useful than the others). There’s a lot of geeky fanservice here, and not the kind that involves the male gaze.ĭeathtrap, the kill bot that Gaige can summon as her action skill, is cool, fun and effective, if a bit derpy at times. A number of her skin names reference band names, and her skill names reference Community and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Her “aww, but I want ’em both” and “number number numbers, math math math” when examining loot are less annoying than Maya’s “they both have pros and cons…”, but this is a personal preference. Her shouts are vaguely meta, and convey an impressive amount of character. There are no ECHO logs of her in the game itself (they can be found on YouTube for free, but it would’ve been nice if they were in game somewhere). There are no bonus head or skins for those with special editions or for those with a Borderlands 1 save. ![]() There’s exactly what you would expect at minimum, and nothing else. This is a fairly accurate summary of my opinion of the DLC: it’s excellent, but… Her voice actress is wonderful, although her screams when Gaige takes an elemental DOT are extremely unpleasant (this could just be my own aversion to the sound of young women screaming in pain, but others have the same complaint). Her backstory, told via ECHO logs, is entertaining, although not available in-game. ![]() Her visual design is atypical of female videogame characters and very cool, although her default skin is undersaturated. Gaige is marketed as a class that both inexperienced and veteran players will enjoy. ![]()
