The side missions, on the other hand, get into some pretty funny territory, and it's a blast exploring the new world and seeing what crazy stuff you can dig up. The story of this expansion serves more as a vehicle for jokes and goofy one-liners than as an actual nuanced plot, but it's perfectly fine for moving the action forward. The story of the expansion, which sees Handsome Jack's fan Professor Nakayama seeking revenge against you, inherently contains some spoilers for the end-game, and the enemies you'll face in your quest could be pretty tough if you aren't familiar enough with the game's systems. You can technically jump into Big Game Hunt at any point during the game, but it'd be smart to save it for after a completion of the main campaign. The Fan Boat can travel both on land and water, making it a good way to get around the swampy terrain of Aegrus It's an intelligent implementation of the game's corrosion systems, and a lot of fun. Players can also switch to using Shock or Flame turrets via the secondary gun, making for a dangerous one-two that can take many enemies out in a jiffy. There's also a new vehicle called the "Fan Boat" which functions much like the Sandskiff from Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty, but which fires out corrosive projectiles from its cannons.
These scary, giant spiders make a return in Hammerlock's Hunt. If you played the original Borderlands, you might remember the Drifters from the Secret Armory of General Knoxx. The Witch Doctor is a new and more challenging type of enemy, who can summon other savages, heal them, and level them up, as well as use tribal magic to transform himself into a powerful tornado or a swarm of bats. Facing down the tribally terrifying Witch Doctor or the tricky Floating Spores is always a blast. It goes a long way towards making the game's enemies and weapons feel new and fresh again, something that does the heart well after pumping over 100 hours into the massive game.Ĭlearly, a lot of effort was put into the design of the new enemies. Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt represents perhaps the biggest shift in visual tone for the game since it has been released, and that's much appreciated. Where are our zombie apocalypses? Where are the robot revolutions? But while the stuff that Gearbox has released since the game's release has been plenty of fun, it hasn't quite transcended what the main game was all about in the way that the first game's expansions did.
The game released in September of last year, and ever since it's been a constant onslaught of DLC expanding the game in some really interesting ways. A new vehicle, called 'the Fanboat' summoned from a Catch-A-Boat station.Borderlands 2, like the original game before it, just refuses to let you go.These are all still unofficial, but seem to offer a package in line with what's been released so far:
"Danger! Excitement! Mustaches! It's time for another episode of Vault Hunter Adventures, featuring Sir Hammerlock! In this week's tale, our hard-boiled heroes travel to the savage continent of Aegrus! Their goal? To uncover the most exotic creatures Pandora has to offer, and give 'em the old one-two!"Īlong with the summary of the new content set on "the savage continent of Aegrus" comes a few rough details on what the DLC will bring with it.
