How to Build Gaige in Borderlands 2
Touted as the most user-friendly character of the Borderlands 2 bunch by many, levelingas Gaige is often seen as the easiest way to get a character at level 72 in the game with the least amount of stress possible. That being said, her trees can still be a little difficult to understand.
Getting the most out of Gaige is tightly linked to spooling up Deathtrap’s engines in the best way possible while simultaneously ensuring you both survive. That’s what leveling, at least initially in Borderlands 2, is all about. A dead Vault Hunter can’t gain experience.
For that precise reason, one of the best ways to get the most out of Gaige when leveling is to focus your attention in the Best Friends Forever tree. Unloading every skill point possible into this tree allows both Gaige and Deathtrap to survive for as long as possible.
It may not have the same damaging power you’ll find in other ones, but there’s plenty of life-giving wonderment in Best Friends Forever to make up for that. Most of this selection pins itself on keeping your shields running. Buck Up, Fancy Mathematics, and Unstoppable Force all bring massive benefits to your shield regeneration capabilities.
Other skills like Cooking Up Trouble (health regeneration whenever you have a full magazine) and Sterner Stuff (5% damage reduction) will help to keep that big ol’ red bar on your screen from falling too quickly. Around this there are other skills that are created to turn you and Deathtrap into a dastardly duo of marvelous murder.
Upshot Bot makes Deathtrap last longer and fight harder with every kill, sort of like the worlds most powerful Viagra pill. In theory, this means that in any long fight you’ll always have a metallic matey-boy at your side.
After you’ve actually got Gaige leveled up, it’s time to start working out whether you want to play alone or with friends in Borderlands 2.
