In this Borderlands 3 Zane Skills Guide, we will show you all of the skill trees that Zane has and detail each skill ability. Zane the Operative is the tech expert that goes around with his ingenious gadget that is ready to be at his side.
Zane has three skill trees. These Are Hunter Skills, Under Cover Skills, and the Doubled Agent Skills. Each of these branches of skills contains an Action Skill, and other skills that provide him buffs. Zane can equip two Action Skills at once by assigning buttons for each, however, this will take away the ability to throw grenades if the slot is equipped as an Action Skill.
