[Guide] How to play Battleborn: a collection of guides
So there was this Thread by u/AdinM, but it seems to be abandoned for about 3 months.
I've seen several people post guides to different characters and i thought it'd be easier if they were in one place. They are from different users so format will vary.
Since I learned a lot by reading guides and stuff, I felt there should be one place for beginners to give them a hand learning this great game.
Before you start
Make sure to read this:
- Tips for Beginners by Luckmod
- A beginner's guide by the_V0lum3
- Battleborn: A Beginner's Guide by jacksfields
and take a look on the right side of this subreddit ("Other Resources").
