Skill trees in Borderlands 2 Borderlands 2 Guide

Last update: 04 April 2019

On this page of the game guide to Borderlands 2 we have placed the most important information about unlocking new skills and about the skill trees from which you can develop said abilities.

After spending your first skill point, you will gain access to skill trees. Each of them represents a different specialty. In case of Axton, the Survival tree focuses on increasing your maximum health or shield points. You can of course develop each tree simultaneously, but that way you will reach the last, most powerful skill very late or never. Remember that you will have 44 points to spend in total.

Further levels of the tree, marked with digits in the above screenshot, are unlocked after spending at least five points on the previous level. For example, in order to unlock the Fearless skill from the second level for Zero (marked with a square), you will first have to spend a minimum of five points on Fast Hands/Counter Strike from level one.

In the game you can also find Class Mods, which after being equipped, for example, increase the firing rate of the whole team.
