Borderlands 2: DLC and Level Increase Coming This Fall

Gearbox announced at PAX Australia that Borderlands 2 will get a new DLC pack in the fall. The Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 will add the Digistruct Peak Challenge map and it will also bump the level cap to 72, all for about $5. This looks to be a very good deal for anyone that is looking to upgrade their character another 11 levels as well as anyone who wants more exploration out of the game.

Oh Look ! They raising in-game level cap for money for the 2nd time !!!

xPhearR3dx4692d ago

Oh look! You don't have to buy it.

LackTrue4K4692d ago

lol....its funny if a player buys the new 72 level increase, but didn't buy the 61 level increase..lol

lol....see what i mean, dazzrazz is complain about it already and he dont know what his talking about. :P

admiralvic4692d ago

The only thing you don't have to buy is... their BS.

Seriously though, I love how level 51 went from being game breaking because of their precious balance, to us being able to hit level 70+.

Gearbox have become really greedy with borderlands 2

For the sequel they improved Many things but also hurt one of the major things THE WEAPONS. For you to get a Great gun you either have to keep beating one raid boss for 20 times or hack the save game

In the first game great loot came at regular pace and it was a lot of fun even thugh there wasn't much of a story

Many of us who loved borderlands bought the sequel with high hopes and signed up for season passes. Not again

I will take the wait and see approach

Also if you haven't bought the game yet now is a good time to wait for a complete edition with all the dlc and stuff for next gen consoles in mid 2014, but why bother when there are better games

Destiny I have high hopes for, I hope it has a great loot reward system

"For you to get a Great gun you either have to keep beating one raid boss for 20 times"

The Warrior always or 75%+ of the time drops a legendary on the story kill. Pretty much every other "amazing" item was assigned to random bosses (like The Bee that Hunter Hellquist dropped). The only "amazing" things raid bosses had were the Legendary Class Mod (though this was obtainable by other things and is a common pete drop I believe) and Norfleet. Also this can be annoying, but it's fun to work for your weapons. The only thing they REALLY did wrong was allowing people to dupe / drop / trade weapons. They really should have made it so legendary items go to everyone in the party and lock them to your save. That way we wouldn't see the game filled with duped crap.

"Many of us who loved borderlands bought the sequel with high hopes and signed up for season passes. Not again "

I got to agree with you there. With the exception of Mister Torgue Flexington, the DLC was disappointing.

HellzAssassin4692d ago

I like Gearbox due to the awesome support they give out for their game. Even after release they continue to update it.

admiralvic4692d ago

Funny...

Capcom releases update packs for $15 dollars and people call them greedy. Gearbox sells a level cap increase, characters at $10 dollars a pop and mostly outsourced expansions and people call that awesome support.

thelaughingwiseman4692d ago

F*ckers better come up with a second season pass

Spurg4692d ago

I don't think any of the new stuff they announced will come in the season pass.

matrixman924692d ago

thats why he is saying they should make a second one...like what was originally rumored

Spurg4692d ago

oh sorry I misread...but second season pass doesn't make sense...no one has really made a second pass ever....right???

admiralvic4692d ago

I can't think of an example of a second season pass, but if they make a new season, I don't see why they can't make a new pass.

thelaughingwiseman4692d ago

yeah, just call it "Borderlands 2: Season 2." has a pretty cool ring to it too

matrixman924692d ago

I just hope they get everything out before next gen comes...or nobody will care at all anymore

Master-H4692d ago

Any idea when the GOTY version comes out ? i want to buy it complete with all the DLC, and i'm ok with waiting.

ironfist924692d ago (Edited 4692d ago )

I think Borderlands 1 GOTY came out like a year or two after Borderlands, maybe 6 months or a year after all 4 DLC packs.

So, considering theyre STILL continuing to support this game, you might have to wait a tad longer, im guessing sometime next year.

HacSawJimThugin4688d ago

How about giving us better guns, they are lackluster IMHO. For a game that claims to have a gazillion guns only a handful are truly remarkable.

I Sure Hope The Next Borderlands Is A Lot Like Borderlands 2

Ahmad from eXputer: "Borderlands 2's unrivaled storytelling is something that has to lean into the core elements of the next iteration in the Borderlands series."

TheNamelessOne649d ago

What? You didn't love the cringe writing that 3 had?

pwnmaster3000649d ago

Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse

DustMan648d ago

It's not bad. It's just hard to top Handsome Jack as an antagonist. I really enjoyed 3. It has the best gameplay of the entire series, and it holds the same vibe. Tiny Tina's Wonderland was a huge disappointment to me.

Demetrius648d ago

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

-Foxtrot649d ago

I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.

gold_drake649d ago

well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain

-Foxtrot649d ago

I meant more in terms of how they established only 6 Sirens can exist in the entire Universe...which was kind of silly to me as they seem to all end up on Pandora, and the Universe is a pretty big place.

Then there's now the fact, since Borderlands 3 retconed it, when a Siren dies she can transfer her power to the next Siren, they don't have to be born with it. This also means there's only 6 Siren powers which will end up being recycled as the franchise goes on.

Phasewalk (Lilith)
Phaselock (Maya / Ava)
Phasetrance (Amara)
Phaseshift (Angel / Tannis)
Phaseleech (Tyreen)

So there's only one power unaccounted for and I'm guessing it belonged to Commandant Steele. There was Queen Dido but she died and someone else like Amara, Maya or Angel could have gotten their powers so really it only gives them one more Siren before they need to start rethinking things going forward.

Either we get Phaseleech next or whatever power Commandant Steele had (kind of odd she never used it in her boss fight but you know).

Terry_B648d ago

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake649d ago

it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game

but we'll see soon

Terry_B648d ago

Most people do. But the people that create the games don't seem to understand that.

I bet it will be even worse than BL3 when it comes to story and character designs.

RaidenBlack648d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal648d ago

I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.

RaidenBlack648d ago

I'd want them to do the 4th part and just end the story of Baker Company.
