Devastator Wrecker's PAX Skill List

Master the Devastator's Wrecker PAX Skill Tree in Outriders: Worldslayer! Learn about damage mitigation, elite bonuses, and build-defining skills like Elitism.

Alright, let's dive into the Devastator's Wrecker PAX Skill Tree in Outriders: Worldslayer. This tree is all about beefing you up as a tank and making sure you can shrug off damage, especially from those pesky Elites. The star of the show here is definitely Elitism, the final skill in the middle path. Once you snag it, your shots on Elites will not only reduce the damage they deal to you by 15%, but they'll also boost your damage against them by a whopping 30%! Trust me, when you're deep into the endgame and constantly facing waves of elites, having a Wrecker Devastator in your squad is a game-changer for keeping everyone alive.

Now, you've only got five PAX points to play with, and there are three distinct paths. The best advice I can give you is to commit to one path and push to its end. Spreading your points too thin won't give you the big, game-changing bonuses you're looking for. You'll notice that to get to the really good stuff on any path, you'll likely need to invest a few points in the middle section first.

Wrecker Universal Path Skills

These skills are the foundation, available regardless of which main path you choose:

• Hunting Season: This is a solid boost, giving you 30% more Weapon Damage and a huge 50% increase to your magazine size.
• Harvester: Need more sustain? This increases your Weapon Leech by 10%, and you get an extra 2% for every enemy within close range, capping at 10% more.
• Hardened: If you're leaning into the tank role, this adds 5% to your Damage Mitigation. Like Harvester, it gets better with more enemies nearby, adding another 2% per enemy up to 10%.
• Finishing Touch: This one's clever – it boosts your Weapon Damage based on how much ammo is missing from your magazine. Plus, landing a killing blow refills 35% of your magazine, which is fantastic for keeping the pressure on.

Wrecker Top Path Skills

This path leans into raw damage and skill cooldowns:

• Armored Division: Get a nice 20% boost to your Armor Piercing. Even better, it reduces your KINETIC skill cooldowns by 50% of your Armor Piercing value – that's a huge reduction!
• Against Devastating Odds: If you hit at least 3 enemies with a KINETIC skill, you'll gain 30% Armor Piercing for 4 seconds. If you hit fewer than 3, your shots become Critical Shots for 4 seconds instead.

Wrecker Middle Path Skills

This is where you get those crucial Elite-focused bonuses:

• Come One, Come All: Your KINETIC skills will now strip Effect Resistance from Elites you hit. Just remember, this has a 7-second cooldown.
• Elitism: The big one! Shots on Elites reduce incoming damage from them by 15% and increase your damage against them by 30%. This buff lasts for 5 seconds and has a 5-second cooldown, making it constantly active if you're focusing fire.

Wrecker Bottom Path Skills

This path focuses on applying Bleed and leveraging your Protection skills:

• Strange Surgeon: Your shots now inflict Bleed. When you kill an enemy afflicted with Bleed while in close range, you'll reduce the cooldown of your PROTECTION skills by 1.5 seconds.
• Overwhelming Force: When one of your PROTECTION skills is active, you'll unleash a seismic pulse every 2 seconds. This pulse deals damage equal to 40% of your Armor, turning your defense into offense.
