Notes

• Krieg has a unique kind of melee-bonus without having a bladed weapon equipped. This bonus rises together with his level, but will be overwritten by the melee-bonus of a bladed weapon.^[1]

• • From Level 45 on a bladed weapon with a melee-bonus of +50% will weaken his melee attacks.
• Paul Hellquist mentioned that Krieg was first a Vault Hunter who got his "brain broke" by Hyperion.
• Krieg's skill points total is VERY incorrect on all 3 trees. If one goes to a Quick Change station, they will see his skills as being 53 max points in Bloodlust, when it is actually 52, unless the Action skill is supposed to count. His Mania skill tree says 44, which is spot-on, unless, as stated before, his Action Skill is supposed to count, then it's real number is 45. His Hellborn tree is VERY off, reading 67 max points, when the number is 43 (or 44).

Trivia

• According to Borderlands 2 Creative Director, Paul Hellquist, Krieg was once a bandit that became a Vault Hunter. Ultimately Hyperion captured Krieg and tortured him until his "brain broke," buffing up his abilities at the same time. [2]
• Krieg's skills "Strip The Flesh" and "Salt the Wound" are references to one phrase commonly heard from psychos ("strip the flesh, salt the wound").
• According to the PAX East developers commentary, some of Krieg's skills are reference to the psychos' skills which annoy players the most. This includes throwing explosives and exploding (Suicide Psychos), breathing fire (Burning Psychos) and rushing opponents for melee (normal Psychos). [3]
• Krieg's name means 'War' in German.
• Krieg's skill Burn, Baby, Burn is a reference to the song "Disco Inferno" by The Trammps.
• On April 24, 2013, Krieg took over @ECHOcasts Twitter (formerly owned by Sir Hammerlock).
• Krieg's line "Look at me when I scream into your soul" is a reference to a series of similar lines used by attacking psychos ("Look into my eyes when I stare at you" and "Look at me when I'm charging at you").
• Based on his quotes, Krieg seems to have at some point helped a woman or girl to escape from somewhere. Krieg makes several comments based around an unknown female, and his inner voice asks whether 'she' got away or not. Krieg's skin, "WHERE ARE YOU GRACE," is likely a reference to this.
• Krieg seems to suffer from Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD). He argues with himself in some of his quotes, and he has a very quiet 'inner voice' which occasionally tells him what to do or comments on his surroundings--it is very difficult to hear unless sound effects and volume are turned down very low.
  • The dominant personality seems to be his violent side.
  • His more peaceful side seems to keep him in check by threatening that it will take control and commit suicide as soon as he harms an innocent person.
• Krieg's bounty is $100,000,000,000. No crimes are listed, but in the launch trailer the poster has "Property of Hyperion" written on it.
• When Krieg dies, regardless of whether he has Light the Fuse or not, he will attempt to say the lines he uses when detonating the bundle of dynamite that accompanies LTF mode. These lines will usually be at least partially cut off.
• Krieg's quote "You woke the wrong dog!" is a nod to Nine-Toes from the first Borderlands. Upon meeting him, he says "You woke the wrong dog!"
• The name's of Krieg's skills follow patterns depending on which tree they are in.
  • Bloodlust skills' names all include the word "blood"except Buzz Axe Bombardier.
  • Mania skills' names all follow the pattern: word + " the " + word.
  • Hellborn skills' names all use alliteration.
• Krieg got one quote for each winning and losing a duel that are based on quotes from Doctor Who.
  • When winning he can say "You were fantastic. SO WAS I". The 9th Doctor said almost the same thing.
  • When losing he can say "It's the end... but the meat has been prepared". The 4th Doctor said "It's the end... but the moment has been prepared."
  • Both original quotes where the last words said by the Doctor before going into a body- and personality altering regeneration.
• Krieg's quote "It's a bloody business, Bates!" is a reference to the movie "Psycho." The fictional Bates Motel is main setting for all films in the "Psycho" film series.
• His quote, "Friendship is HATE!" is a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic joke.
• Krieg is the only playable character who has no lines while under the effects of the Handsome Jack voice modulator, though he does make the same stock grunts.
• Krieg's quote "Now. GO TO SLEEP!" is a reference to a popular internet meme Jeff the Killer, who says the same thing before killing his victims.
• Krieg breaks the 4th wall with several quotes.
  • "Rampage and fill the red bar!" shows that health is connected to a health bar.
  • "Toooo maaaany icons..." shows that skills are connected to skill icons.
  • "See the numbers, taste the violence...." shows that items are connected to numbers
