New details about the Phase 2 update have been revealed during the BorderCast. Mitsu and Tessachka had the chance to interview the Gearbox Developers, Graeme Timmins and Nick Thurston about the upcoming changes. They confirmed the level cap would be increased from 57 to 60. Now you will have 3 additional skill points to spend. Don’t worry your OPQ-System will still wreck.
You will also be able to obtain 3 new Guardian Perks when this patch hits. I’m happy with the ‘Lead or Alive’ perk. I can’t even count how many times I have died because I needed to reload my weapon anymore.
