Gearbox Software has unveiled a new launch trailer for their second downloadable character, Krieg the Psycho, who will be available later today. Offering a various amount of yelling and blood curdling screaming, Krieg's new trailer gives a glimpse at just what you can expect from each of his three skills trees - Bloodlust tree, Mania tree and Hellborn tree.
Krieg is an apparently reformed version of the Psycho enemy from the series who wields an axe and explosives to dispatch foes. Like the game's other archetypes, he has three skill trees: Bloodlust allows you to enhance your survivability by killing damage with your Buzz Axe (which can be used for melee or thrown), the Mania tree increases your damage as you take damage, and the Hellborn tree increases your fire damage, and also makes you a lethal warrior while you're on fire. With those last two trees, friendly fire is actually very beneficial for Krieg.
Krieg's actions come at high risk and offer high rewards, with his main action tasking him with rushing foes to kill enemies, which heals him — a necessary task, since, unlike Borderlands' melee character Brick, his health does not regenerate on its own.
Krieg will be making his way into the game as part of the Psycho Pack downloadable content, which we presume will be filled with even more crazy shenanigans. Check out the trailer below which includes a lovely run-down from Sir Hammerlock.
