ItвЂ™s actually a great class to play as but I had no idea about skill builds at the time and it just wasnвЂ™t fun to play that way.

Cue Claptrap throwing confetti in the air: mission definitely complete.In my first playthrough, I chose to go as the Soldier class and ended up dying a lot and abandoning the game a couple of times. Hemingway wanted to create a character that forces you to play her differently than you have any others in the Borderlands universe. (My girlfriend will explain more on the next page.) Sounds cool вЂ¦ but it wonвЂ™t win over any serious gamers. The only thing not-so-hardcore about Ordered Chaos is that it starts with a killer-robot-summoning action skill. Get the right combination of baby-clip guns and Anarchy-oriented skills, and you can punch huge, bloody holes in enemy psychos - though youвЂ™ll be spending more time reloading weapons than actually firing them. вЂњYou can get guns with a one-shot magazine, and every single shot causes you to reload, which is building up your Anarchy stack.вЂќ Other skills such as Smaller, Lighter, Faster (increases reload speed while decreasing magazine size) complement Anarchy nicely in similar ways. вЂњGuns like a JakobвЂ™s double-barreled shotgun are really great,вЂќ said Hemingway. Since Anarchy can stack up to 150 times for almost 300 percent extra damage, that can be a heartbreaking mistake.ДЇunny enough, with the Mechromancer, those embarrassingly low-ammo firearms actually have some serious purpose now. So not only will you have to resist the urge to slap in a new clip after firing off a few rounds, but youвЂ™ll have to be careful when trying to open chests or revive teammates, since those actions share the same button as вЂњreload.вЂќ Press it too early or too late, and youвЂ™ll watch your points drain away completely. If you ever reload early or manually - a natural reflex for many shooter players - you will lose all current Anarchy and have to start back at zero. Eventually, youвЂ™ll have to get very, very close to hit enemies, which probably means the enemies are probably doing lots of damage to you.вЂќ вЂњSo as your damage goes up, and youвЂ™re doing stupid amounts of damage, your accuracyвЂ™s going down. вЂњThe trick is, everything in this tree is very much risk/reward,вЂќ said Hemingway. The higher it goes, the more damage you deal. As you kill enemies or empty clips (and let the game automatically reload for you), your Anarchy count - or вЂњstacksвЂќ - starts going up. HeвЂ™s referring to Anarchy, one of the first skills you can unlock in Ordered Chaos. It flips some of the concepts on their head.вЂќ The Ordered Chaos skill tree forces you to play in a manner thatвЂ™s completely different from any of the other classes. вЂњAnd they really want something new and deep. вЂњThere are a lot of players who have been playing Borderlands for many, many hours - perhaps over 100 hours,вЂќ said Hemingway. If you look past the pigtails, the teeny skirt, and the whole вЂњgirlfriend modeвЂќ fiasco, youвЂ™ll find this little gal sporting some of the most interesting skillsВ amongВ her playable Borderlands brethren. I was quite surprised with the Mechromancer. Three top investment pros open up about what it takes to get your video game funded. So вЂ¦ what does a boyfriend (thatвЂ™s me) think of вЂњboyfriend modeвЂќ after getting hands-on with it? Ordered Chaos - letвЂ™s call it вЂњboyfriend modeвЂќ for вЂ¦ oh, you know why - takes strategy, planning, and perhaps even a willingness to take those counterintuitive low-ammo guns into battle for a greater long-term gain. Opposite the вЂњgirlfriend modeвЂќ Best Friends Forever skill tree lies what could be the most hardcore set of abilities a Borderlands player can unlock. To be fair, though, Hemingway didnвЂ™t just design the Mechromancer to appeal to beginners. What does an actual girlfriend think of вЂњgirlfriend modeвЂќ after getting hands-on with it? No doubt, sheвЂ™s good enough now to hold her own in Borderlands. Also because, conveniently enough for this particular article, I actually have a significant other, Christina, who only started playing first-person shooters (FPS) in the last couple of years. But letвЂ™s go with вЂњgirlfriend modeвЂќ for now, since thatвЂ™s what Hemingway originally called it, with honestly good intentions (he created this skill tree with his nonshooter-playing wife in mind).
