Known Skills
Action Skill: Deploy Turret

Axton's skill, Deploy Turret, allows him to deploy an advanced turret, similar in concept to the Scorpio Turret, but with many customizable options that can be selected within his Skill Trees.

Guerrilla Tree

Short-range engagement. Focused on getting Axton into the middle of the action and taking enemies down with his own deadly arsenal. In this tree the turret is less about setting up long range headshots, but it’s about holding enemy attention and absorbing damage.

Gunpowder Tree

Medium-range engagement. Contains the longbow turret and focuses more heavily on medium range explosives and some sniping.

Survival Tree

Defense-oriented. Focused on stat boosts, like defense and health, and utility powers to boost turret damage, fire rate, and other attributes.
 * Pressure - Grants reload speed and shield recharge bonuses based on remaining health. The lower your health, the higher the bonuses.

Trivia

 * Axton's turret is manufactured by Dahl.
 * Axton's late wife was also in the military and he wears her dog tag.
