📋 About This Mod

This is a mod that completely alters all 3 of gaiges skill trees I made for fun.It also comes with a decent amount of tweaks to DT and in addition movement and self damage changes to my own preferance with some other sourced qol mods that

Allmost all skills have recieved changes or reworks while entirely new skills were added.

Make sure to create a character if playing from a new save with this mod before applying it or it will crash when starting new game.

Some highlights:

  • []Trees in general tend to offer alot more options earlier on to the player while generally still taking a simular number of points to reach the capstone.

    []More skills synergise between trees.

    []Several new skills added

    []Every tree has a unique layout and tier progression.

    []Deathtrap can now be made very strong and has great benefits gained in all 3 trees. It is also now possible to grant DT health regeneration and restore their health by shooting them with skills.

    []Alot of deathtraps moves have been tweaked, for example the new one two boom creates a very powerful slagging explosion letting deathtrap greatly debuff for you.

    []Melee gaige can be a bit more interesting and more powerful.

    []The BestFriendsForever Tree now has more team focused skills

    []Shock can be made very strong and so can DOT effects, shock and aughhhh can even be a viable form of damage. All weapons can be given shock damage.

    []Anarchy is much much much less tedious to build but much more punishing when going down. It now comes with two seperate modes that can be changed by reloading prematurely. Plenty more skills in the anarchy tree now have direct interaction with anarchy itself, it now being a much larger focus of the overall tree.

    []Anti-Anarchy skills added to other trees to offer an interesting option to players who want to play with no anarchy or a lower max anarchy cap.

    []Gaige has more general spread out survivability and health stacking/shield stacking can be achieved to greater effect, also a no health gate all shield build.

  • Multi grade capstone skills to reward more heavy/focused investment into a single tree over branching down all of them.

    I really wanted to push the 75 point limit designing this tree around the level 80 cap. So many skills all so useful so many early options that you allways could be squeezing out more points and moving them here or there wondering what you really think is necessary instead of just maxxing out skills one by one as you go down a tree.

    Installation:

    Place into Borderlands 2/Binaries folder and exec Shwaige.blcm in console.

    If you rename the file change it to exec InsertFileName.blcm

    If merging with UCP disable/delete the gaige folder listed under skill changes in the UCP folder.

    Although this is a .blcm mod file YOU WILL NEED THE PYTHON SDK AND COMMAND EXTENSIONS TO USE THIS MOD

    This mod partly works in coop with 2 gaige using it, however it is a little buggy mainly any entirely new skills do not work for client.

    Coop with only one gaige I assume is fine as long as the gaige is the host.

    Have both players execute the file and join eachother on the main menu before proceeding.

    Take note that the left tree requires more points then typical and the right tree requires less then typical while the middle trees points to reach the capstone are unchanged.

    General list of most changes found in the patch notes.

    This is my first ever modding project or anything project like this ever.

    Any and all feedback is appreciated!
