In this situation, however, survivability doesn’t relate to a lack of dying, as you will get downed a lot regardless, but it refers to the ability for you to get Second Wind much more so than normally as Gunzerking while in the fight for your life mode will generally guarantee your safety. Additionally, I spec into the gunlust tree in order for me to get a little more survivability. Overall I believe this to be an incredibly ability for those who just absolutely love their babymaker/plasma caster spam. Of particular importance in this tree is the ability to increase magazine size with any weapon you carry, meaning Tediore reloads just got a whole lot deadlier. The main reason I use this tree is the increase in both fire rate and reload speed the longer you hold the trigger (while this doesn’t work for single-shot weapons, it’s definitely fun). I spec all the way down the Rampage tree, taking pretty much everything that looks appealing (I know, not very descriptive, but you can check my build below to see what I mean). Sadly I haven’t experimented much with building my Gunzerker, but that’s due to the amount of fun and utility the build I already have has given me, so I’ll just briefly outline what I do with Salvador in order to give you guys a better look at how I play. I enjoyed his backstory a little less than I did the other characters, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It was just enough for us to get a glimpse into Salvador’s demeanor as a character, and not someone we personify ourselves as. While it’s not the most ingenious of plots, I didn’t really seem to mind it all that much. Salvador gets free, saves the town, and beats the ever-living tar out of the Hyperion brigade that shows up before getting information on the vault and deciding that it is well worth his time to go venture after it. We find the man being sentenced in a ‘court’ of law before Hyperion comes and invades his town. Essentially what I pulled from Salvador’s echo recorders is that he’s a very wanted individual with a rather sour disposition. I understood most of it, retaining small details of his backstory that interested me. Salvadore’s history bugged me slightly, just because I couldn’t really get a firm grasp on what they were talking about. If you’re new to the format, I’ll cover some secret information about the character’s history that are embedded into the game, followed by a set of builds to use for your character, and ending with a set of weapons that I deem appropriate for your character in particular (the character in question being reviewed). Without further ado, let’s jump right into the fourth guide in this set. While a little psychotic and rather odd, this tanky character allows the player to dual wield guns at will, allowing him to increase is damage output and granting him some really awesome passive abilities. Anyway, this week’s guide focuses on one of the most fun characters to play in Borderlands 2, Salvadore, the Gunzerker. Essentially these guides are made to help those new to the game adjust to their characters and learn fun ways to build them accordingly (as well as what weapons I prefer to use with them, but seeing as they’re mostly legendary, they’re a moot point until late/end-game). For those of you who have read through the others, you know the drill, for those newcomers, allow me to cover a little step-by-step. Welcome to the fourth installment of the Borderlands 2 In-depth Character Guides.
