With less than two weeks left on the clock before Borderlands 2 launches, it’s time to start planning your character classes. Remember, time is money, so time saved not making these decisions later is money saved for that sweet Hyperion scoped manblaster. Or something like that. To help you save time (and money) then, Gearbox has dropped a browser-based character builder for your convenience.

The character builder features the complete skill trees for all four Borderlands 2 launch classes, including Axton the Commando, Salvador the Gunzerker, Zero the Assassin, and Maya the Siren – although real winners know that Zero the Assassin is clearly the one to go for here. I mean, if you want to get a whole lot of killing done, an Assassin is obviously the best man for the job. And he’s not even a man, he’s a cyborg – that’s, like, 100 times more efficient already.

Borderlands 2 is out next Friday, 21 September. Just in time for the long weekend! MAXIMUM EXCITE.

In the meantime, make sure to read up ALL of our Borderlands 2 coverage, in case you missed something really, really important.
