Welcome to the skilled channel and today we're previewing Battleborn.
Battleborn is Gearbox's multiplayer shooter that's kind of like a first person shooter
moba hybrid.
Think of Borderlands, but with more modes and heroes to play as.
It is multiplayer focused but it will have a story mode that can be played alone or cooperatively.
So let's take a look at 7 cool reasons to play Battleborn.
07 5 on 5 Multiplayer Gameplay The multiplayer mode will be 5 on 5 so this
isn't huge scale multiplayer like Battlefield but it's perfect for Gearbox's type of shooter.
That means each individual player's contributions will count a lot more.
And with 25 unique heroes to choose from, there will be a different way to form your
team and tactics each time.
06 Co-op Campaign Battleborn�s team-based cooperative campaign
is a narrative experience playable with up to four other friends online or through splitscreen
similar to Borderlands.
Player profile experience is earned during cooperative campaign play and will cross over
to competitive multiplayer matches.
It will be modular which means players can replay certain missions for a chance to get
better loot.
For the loot hunters, there will be plenty of gear to hunt for.
Chasing after better gear is the most addicting part of these games.
05 Heroes Battleborn has a deep roster of playable heroes
and no two heroes are the same.
For example, Rath is a samurai sword-wielding melee specialist.
Oscar Mike fires an assault rifle and plays like a typical space marine.
Thorn is a dangerous archer who deals damage through magical attacks.
There are plenty of battleborn heroes.
And each has unique weapons, powers, and personalities that can be fully experienced in a cooperative
campaign mission or in a competitive multiplayer match.
04 Competitive Battleborn�s team-based competitive multiplayer
has many modes that are unique to the new hero-shooter experience, like Incursion, Devastation
and Meltdown.
These team-based matches take place across a variety of worlds and maps, just like the
cooperative campaign.
Incursion mode is where two five-player teams battle against each other to destroy the enemy
base while robotic minions march forward to attack heroes
Incursion has you fighting teams against waves of AI controlled minions with teams working
to defend their own base while simultaneously trying to destroy the base of their opponents.
The next mode is Devastation which is an objective based team deathmatch.
Players must capture and hold an objective to win.
Lastly we have meltdown which is where teams will protect their minions as they march to
their death at the center of the map.
Teams collect points for every minion who throws themselves into the incinerator and
the one with the most points wins.
03 Progression System / Leveling Up Experience points gained during the story
and the competitive play work towards leveling up character rank and command rank.
Character rank can be raised from 1 to 10 outside of missions and matches, and will
unlock skins as well as augments in their helix skill tree.
Command rank levels up player profiles, unlocking badges and titles.
It also unlocks loot that can be used to benefit any hero the player chooses to command.
02 Worlds The Solus System is huge and the battleborn
will fight on the different home worlds of each of the five factions.
And they will be going to different locations within each world called zones.
Each world comes with its own unique look, feel and required tactics.
One of those worlds includes Tempest.
It's the home world of the advanced and immortal Jennerit Empire.
Tempest is reminiscent of a sci-fi gothic-cathedral as a combination of both beauty and cold-hearted
precision.
Another world is Ekkunar: Home to the Eldrid.
It is Solus' most hospitable planet, with lush plant life due to the Eldrid's love of
nature.
01 Story Battleborn�s story is set in a distant sci-fi
fantasy future, where all but one star in the universe has gone dark at the hands of
the vicious Varelsi.
A single solitary beacon of hope remains.
It's the last star, Solus.
In the middle of chaos, different species of survivors take refuge in the Solus system
and form five factions based on their beliefs.
Heroes called battleborn emerge from each faction and fight for what little resources
are left in the system.
Now, the Varelsi are threatening to finish what they�ve started, and only a united
team of the universe�s most powerful heroes can stop them.
Battleborn is essentially about the last survivors of the sentient races in the universe, fighting
it out for the last star to save the universe.
Which is a great premise of a sci fi team shooter.
