Classesedit
From Borderlands Wiki
Borderlands includes four character classes, all with unique skills, abilities and back stories. As your character levels up, you can increase basic stats such as health totals, ammo capacity, and accuracy. Each class also has three unique focus skill trees to develop. There is also an accessory item type specific to each class. The four classes are:
- Mordecai - The Hunter, who prefers to use Sniper Rifles, Pistols and Revolvers, He sends his pet Bloodwing to attack enemies ahead.
- Roland - The Soldier, who prefers Combat Rifles and Shotguns, and can deploy an automatic turret to attack enemies.
- Lilith - The Siren, who likes to use Elemental weapons and can teleport in combat, damaging nearby enemies.
- Brick - The Berserker, who loves to do nothing more than pound enemies with his fists. Other than that, he prefers explosives.
References above to different characters "preferring" different weapons are based on the weapon types which that character's class skills can improve. However, all characters may use all types of weapons throughout the game depending on the situation. For example, playing as Roland, you would use sniper rifles (or equivalents) against a group of distant enemies. Mordecai would happily use shotguns against critters who tend to run up on you no matter how far away you first shoot at them from. Lilith may prefer Elemental weapons, but she is unlikely to actually get a decent one before about level 19.
