Bloodlust is the first of Krieg's three skill trees. The Bloodlust tree focuses on ranged combat, and getting Bloodlust Stacks to improve his skills. His other two skill trees are Mania and Hellborn.

Tier 6[]

  • Bloodsplosion - Killing an enemy causes them to explode with an elemental nova matching the element that killed them. Nonelemental damage causes an explosive nova. Damage is based on the amount of Bloodlust stacks.

Bloodlust Mechanics[]

Krieg's Bloodlust tree focuses almost exclusively on increasing the utility of Bloodlust stacks. Every time any kind of damage is dealt to an enemy, a stack is gained. This includes DoT, in which case every 'tick' of damage adds a Bloodlust stack. With no points invested in Boiling Blood, Bloodlust stacks decay after approximately two seconds have passed without dealing damage. The various types of bonuses granted by Bloodlust stacks are listed above.
