Zero is the playable Assassin class character in Borderlands 2.

He was revealed on February 21, 2012, in the Borderlands 2 Launch Date Trailer. His ^{(gender presumed)} origins, his nature, and even his real name are as of yet unknown. He is simply called "Zer0" because when he dispatches an enemy he displays a "0" on his faceplate. Other emotes, such as a "smiley face," pop up on his faceplate during different actions.

Known SkillsEdit

Action Skill: Deception

Zer0's Skill, Deception, grants him the ability to deploy a holographic decoy of himself and enter an invisible "stealth mode." While cloaked Zer0 can maneuver about the battlefield dealing critical strikes to enemies. Special vision while cloaked shows enemies' critical hit locations highlighted in blue. The longer Zer0 stays cloaked the more damage he can inflict to enemies. Zer0 does not enter a separate dimension, like Lilith when she Phasewalks, and can still take damage from grenades and other forms of splash damage while cloaked.

Cunning Tree

• Unforseen - Causes the holographic decoy to explode when Zer0 becomes visible and deals area of effect shock damage.
• Deathmark - Marks an enemy for targeting by allies. Marked enemy takes additional damage.

Sniping Tree

• Unnamed Skill - Grants bullets a chance to travel through the initial enemy and damage the enemy behind the first. The bullet doubles in damage as it goes through the first enemy.

Bloodshed Tree

• Backstab - Grants melee damage bonuses while cloaked using Deception.

Unnamed Skill Tree

• Be Like Water - Shooting an enemy increases melee damage for a few seconds; meleeing an enemy increases gun damage for a few seconds. The two effects stack together.

Melee WeaponEdit

Zer0's basic melee attack uses his sword. The sword is not an equippable item but it's effectiveness in combat can be enhanced. The sword's hilt "exists" but the blade digistructs when the hilt is pulled from its sheathe.

TriviaEdit

• Gearbox concept designer, Scott Kester, credits Zer0's inspiration to "loner characters" like Snake Eyes from the G.I. Joe animated television series and Grey Fox from the Metal Gear video game series. [1]
