With multiple great Jakobs weapons added via the Guns, Love, and Tentacles DLC as well, the expansions share a similar pool of legendary guns. With one of the grooms in the wedding previously getting a Borderlands 2 expansion where he was a major focus, it seems obvious that the two be looked at together.īorderlands 2’s Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt DLC saw similar weapons added, as the titular character’s preference for Jakobs gear was made clear. While it was certainly great to see the Mechromancer again, the choice of a Borderlands 2 DLC to compare with Guns, Love, and Tentacles is hardly difficult. The second expansion of Borderlands 3 saw Wainwright Jakobs and Sir Hammerlock finally tying the knot, with Gaige stealing the show and providing many of the expansion’s most memorable moments. Both Handsome Jackpot and Campaign of Carnage expanded on two of the game’s weapon makers, adding even more character to Hyperion and Torgue. Like Rhys with Atlas, Katagawa with Maliwan, and Wainwright with Jakobs, Torgue’s addition helped give another manufacturer a voice in the growing Borderlands universe. Not only did the DLC introduce another character that instantly won Borderlands fans over, but it provided a face for the Torgue brand. Boasting an explosive and loud personality that matches the weapons his company makes, Torgue is the perfect representation of his own company. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage introduced players to the eccentric founder of the Torgue brand. Thematically, the best connection to the Handsome Jackpot DLC is Borderlands 2’s second expansion. Seeing players fighting Hyperion loaders once again, the DLC also proved that Jack will always be associated with the Hyperion brand, with the company unable to escape the charismatic monster. With Pre-Sequel character Timothy’s surprising return coming in the expansion as well, the DLC served as a great reminder of Handsome Jack’s effect on the Borderlands universe. While he may only be seen on holograms and videos hyping up the casino, Jack’s presence in Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot is felt throughout the DLC’s runtime. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnageīorderlands 3’s first DLC saw players getting another dose of Handsome Jack, with the character’s legacy living on in the DLC.

Whether it be through a focus on the same character, the tackling of similar themes, or the expansion of the same area in the Borderlands universe, each Borderlands 3 expansion has a Borderlands 2 DLC that it can be compared to. While each Borderlands DLC is vastly different from the last in terms of the locations visited and enemies fought, some interesting parallels can be drawn between the expansions of Borderlands 2 and 3. This is good news considering how Borderlands fans have been treated to some excellent DLC over the series’ decade-long history, with fans seeing everything from Secret Armories to the inner workings of a Psycho’s mind. With a second Borderlands 3 season pass currently in progress, players can expect to be causing mayhem in the latest Gearbox looter-shooter for some time. AS far as I know Headhunters are quite forgetables.Though the season pass content of Borderlands 3 has all been released, the game’s support is far from over.
Other, non-story DLCs to buy: ultimate vault hunter 1-2, Mechromancer + Psycho class DLCs. So far it's a let-down, but I hope I'll change my mind, if it's as good as you guys told it. I would say it's the most badass, flashy-action oriented DLC I've played so far, although a little less content as Tiny Tina's.Ĭaptain Scarlet's: Well, I've played only a few quests into this DLC, so so far I can only tell that I want to shoot Shade in the face like no one in the game before. Torgue's: SMASHING! BADASSERY! EXPLOSIONS! CARNAGE!FLEXINGTON! RESPECT OF WOMEN! It's load, it's crazy, and it explodes while Mr Torgue imitatin a guitar solo. It would be good, but it's in a jungle, only a few non-agressive NPC-s out there, it's not so story-oriented as Tiny Tina's. Hammerlocks: wow, it's so cool, going hunting and all. Raid boss is intresting, though, and DLC has over 15 sidequests and a new arena. In my opinion it also has flaws: enemies are somehow overscaled (even though duo-ed the normal difficulty), and most bossfights are just grindfests. It has incredible amount of content, lots of jokes from the world of tabletop games, RPGs, crumpets, anything.
