<p>It&#8217;s true, you&#8217;re not seeing things, nor are you dreaming, believe me. It would seem that Gearbox got fed up with waiting for next week to release their Mechromancer character for <em>Borderlands 2</em>, so instead they released it today. How about that?</p>
<p>You can check out the character&#8217;s skill tree on the <a href="http://www.borderlands2.com/us/skilltree/mechromancer.html"><em>Borderlands 2</em> website</a>, similar to the previous four characters skill trees, and get a glimpse of what skills you&#8217;re interested in using.</p>
<p>The Best Friends Forever skill tree is dedicated to giving players a ton of stat boosts in order to give them an easier time on Pandora. Pretty sure my favorite two skills, when it comes to their names, are Potent as a Pony (increases health) and Explosive Clap (your Deathtrap buddy causes explosions).</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Little Big Trouble skill tree is all about Elemental Damage. Whether it be gaining resistance to a certain element, increasing your chances of dealing that type of elemental damage or simply increasing how much damage those elements deal. This may be the one I stick with.</p>
<p><a href="https://bagogames.com/borderlands-2s-mechromancer-dlc-full-week-early/borderlands-2-mechromancer-charms-on-twitter/" rel="attachment wp-att-27113"><img class="size-full wp-image-27113 aligncenter" title="borderlands-2-mechromancer-charms-on-twitter" src="https://cdn.bagogames.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/06102604/borderlands-2-mechromancer-charms-on-twitter.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Finally, with the oxymoronic sounding Ordered Chaos tree, you&#8217;ll be getting a lot of boosts to your weapon damage, reload speed and the like, but you&#8217;ll be losing out on some other stats as well. For example, the Anarchy skill, which activates when you kill an enemy or completely empty a clip of ammo in a gun, causes your gun damage to increase, but your accuracy drops. Later on, you can get a skill called Blood Soak Shields, which restores part of your shields when you kill an enemy, but you lose a bit of health in the process. Ordered Chaos is a huge give-and-take.</p>
<p>Regardless of what you think of Gaige the Mechromancer&#8217;s skills, it&#8217;s really nice to see that this DLC got released early. She comes for free if you pre-ordered the game, but will cost you $9.99/800 MS Points otherwise. Which isn&#8217;t bad considering how much time you&#8217;ll probably invest in the character.</p>
