Classes

Borderlands includes four character classes, all with unique skills, abilities and backstories. 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 and Revolvers. He sends his pet Bloodwing to attack enemies ahead from above. Like Roland's 'Scorpio Turret' the 'Bloodwing' is an AI and will allow the player to take cover while the 'Bloodwing' takes down multiple enemies.
 * Roland - The Soldier, who prefers Combat Rifles and Shotguns. He can deploy an automatic Scorpio Turret to attack enemies, which is an AI that'll allow the player to hide behind cover while his turret does the work for him.
 * Lilith - The Siren, who likes to use SMGs and Elemental weapons. Her ability is 'Phasewalk': she can become invisible and move extremely fast for a few seconds. When she enters and exits that state, she releases a blast of energy which damages nearby enemies.
 * Brick - The Berserker, who loves to do nothing more than pound enemies with his fists. Other than that, he prefers explosive weapons, like Rocket Launchers. His ability is 'Berserk' where he becomes significantly faster and uses both his fists to pound his enemies to death.
