Changes: Salvador

Revision as of 23:07, 21 July 2013

Salvador is the Gunzerker-class character in Borderlands 2. His main skill, Gunzerking, allows him to dual wield any two weapons in the game for a limited time.

Background

Aged 36, Salvador is a local, born and raised on the planet Pandora. He stands at a height of 5'4" (~163cm). This stunted growth is revealed to be due to heavy steroid use throughout his life.

As a freedom fighter battling against the ever-encroaching imperialist corporations, Salvador becomes interested in the new Vault after hearing of its dangers while "interrogating" the last survivor of a Hyperion strike team that tried to seize the Gunzerker's hometown of Ovejas. He did this by tearing off the Hyperion soldier's arm and breaking both legs.

Skills

Salvador's Action Skill, "Gunzerking," allows the player to dual wield two guns (of any type) at the same time. His Rampage and Gun Lust trees heighten his dual wielding skills and amplify weapon stats, while the Brawn skill tree boosts the amount of damage Salvador can take and dish out.

Base cooldown for Gunzerking is 42 seconds, base duration is 20.

Salvador is wanted for a number of crimes, including manslaughter, theft, arson, destruction of property, trespassing, cannibalism, public indecency, and profanity.
- Also he has the most crimes of all of the Vault Hunters, and the fourth highest bounty, after Brick, Krieg, and Gaige, at 99,999,999.99$, 100,000,000,000$ and 820 Billion dollars, respectively.
Salvador is Spanish and Portuguese for "savior."
Many of Salvador's skill names are references to pop culture and film:
- "I'm the Juggernaut" is from a viral video featuring a redub of 1990s X-Men cartoon featuring the Juggernaut frequently using the phrase, "Don't you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" This line was also used in the movie X-Men: The Last Stand by Juggernaut, played by Vinnie Jones.
- "Out of Bubblegum" is a reference to the movie They Live, where the main character, played by "Rowdy" Roddy Piper says "I have come to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum."
- "5 shots or 6" is a reference to the movie Dirty Harry when Harry Callahan bluffs a criminal by confusing the issue of the exact number of shots Harry fired by forcing the introspective question "Do I feel lucky".
- "Yippee Ki Yay" is a reference to the Die Hard film series, where the main character John McClane's catch phrase is "Yippee-ki-yay motherfucker!"
- "Get Some" is a reference to the movie Full Metal Jacket. During a chopper ride in the film, a door gunner repeatedly fires on Vietnamese civilians while yellin "Get some!"
- The skills "Ain't Got Time to Bleed" and "Sexual Tyrannosaurus" are references to the film Predator. Both are quotes by Blain, played by Jesse Ventura.
- "Steady as She Goes" is the title of the song by The Raconteurs.
- "I'm your Huckleberry" is a quote commonly used by Doc Holiday in Tombstone.
- "Just Got Real" is part of a quote from the film Bad Boys, the whole quote being "Shit just got real."
Of all playable Vault Hunters, Salvador is the only one known to be born and raised on Pandora.
He has a tattoo on his index fingers, "Rite" on the right one, "Wrong" on the left.
The gunzerking lines "Time to compensate!" and "Screw you Freud!" are a complex reference to Freudian psychology. In addition to his stunted growth, heavy use of steroids likely caused his genitals to shrink, possibly to the point of uselessness. According to Freud, firearms are considered to be symbols of masculinity, leading to the common belief that they are often used to overcompensate for poor self-esteem in men.
The "I am invincible!" quote is a reference to the James Bond movie GoldenEye, in which one of the bad guys often says the quote after accomplishing a goal.
