Outriders Worldslayer PAX Skill Trees for Each Class

These are all of the new skills and abilities bestowed by the PAX trees in Outriders Worldslayer.

Outriders Worldslayer introduces a slew of new skills for each of the game’s four classes. Found in the PAX skill trees, these abilities affect everything from damage and defense to build resistances and status effects inflicted upon enemies. All classes have — Devastator, Pyromancer, Technomancer, and Trickster — have two new branches.

These PAX skill trees are found in the Class tab once you reach Level 30. They are nestled between the base game skill trees and the menu for the new Ascension system on the left side of the screen. Here’s what’s new in the PAX trees per their in-game descriptions. Note: PAX skills can be reset just like base skills. 

This system is different than the Ascension system, which uses Ascension points to provide passive buffs across four areas and is essentially the new XP system in Worldslayer. If you’re wondering how to get PAX points, we’ve got a guide covering their locations here
