Borderlands 2 Best Class: Ranking from Worst to Best

Borderlands 2 is one of the best games developed by Gearbox Software. Gamers love this game due to its story, quests, characters, mod support and classes. Borderlands 2 has six classes and if you are wondering which is the best one, you came to the right place. In this article, you would find class rankings from worst to best.

Borderlands 2 Best Class

As mentioned earlier, there are 6 classes in Borderlands 2. This includes the 2 offered in the DLC which means you have more options to choose from. Each class is unique with its own abilities and appearances. One class is different from another class. In addition to that, in Borderlands 2 comes with diverse cast of characters.

Assassin

Zer0 is an assassin which new players gravitate to. It is a character which is fun to use and play. If you are able to use it correctly, this character could do serious damage to your enemies. This is why though new players tend to use Zer0, we highly discourage for beginners to use him. The reason behind this is because it is actually difficult to use Zer0 and he dies quickly.

This character’s abilities could be unlocked at the latter part of the game. This class is best to be used for stealth and long range combat. Keep in mind that Zer0’s HP is lower compared to others which is why we highly suggest to use sniper rifle and it is best to keep your distance from enemies.

As you reach the end of the game, Zer0 is one of the best with its abilities and suits best when paired with frontline character. Upgrade Bloodshed for melee combat. This means it is best to focus on using its abilities and sniping.

If you are a solo player, it is discouraged to use Zer0 as it is vulnerable to attacks and its sniper rifle would lose its effectivity.

Psycho

Psycho is one of the best classes. It is known as Krieg who is a melee-focused character. This character is best to be used for pummeling enemies. Krieg has switched his guns for two large handed axe which provides huge damage. In fact, it has a 500% damage rate. What is best about this class is that you would get back a chunk of health every time you are able to kill.

This class is best for those who love to create chaos in this game. You could focus on heavy melee build and focus on grenades. You could light yourself on fire and run through a battlefield. Yes, this character definitely screams fun and chaos.

Though this class is fun and chaotic, keep in mind that it is challenging to use it especially when you are playing solo.

Siren

Siren is best used when you are playing with your friends or you are playing with a team. They are healers and is considered as a supporting character. This class has a lot of area of effect abilities which makes it fun and easy to get rid of enemies which would surround you.

One of the abilities which Siren has is Phaselock which creates a bubble which could trap enemies and would make them float. This ability provides great amount of damage.

Playstyle when playing Siren should be focused on Phaselock. Keep in mind that this ability has the lowest cooldown. You could use this class as a healer or as a crowd controller. If you plan to play as a solo player, this character would shine due to its abilities. However, Siren is at its best when you play with a team.

Commando

You could never go wrong with Commando class. Axton is highly recommended when using this class. It is an all-around character which makes it easier to use especially when you are new to this game. He has a wide range of expertise with his weapons. He could swiftly reload, swap and fire guns. If you wish to play solo, no need to worry as this character excels even when he is alone. In fact, he does not need a team to be effective.

Commando is unique with his ability of Sabre Turret which he could shoot and eliminate his enemies.

Mechromancer

Gaige has been introduced in DLC which is perfect for those who love to blaze guns. This character is packed with explosives which could easily get rid of giant bosses. This character specialized with Anarchy which is her well-known ability. It has a 1.75% damage boost which could kill any enemy. Damage output is definitely impressive. Gaige is best used for solo players.

Gunzerker

Gunzerker is the best class in Borderlands 2. Salvador is definitely considered as a powerhouse character. He could wield two guns. This could help you create amazing combos. We highly suggest for you to choose Grog Nozzle. It provides additional damage to your enemies and at the same time heal you for about 65%. Aside from a gun, you could pair another weapon which would definitely provide an unstoppable force which any enemy could experience.

Gunzerker is a superior version of Commando and with creative dual-wielded combos, you definitely would rock this game.
