![]() There’s initially little time for sightseeing, as the holiday is cut short when Professor Nakayama starts interfering with your plans, and you’re dragged into thwarting his plot to clone the despicable Handsome Jack and effectively return him to life. Aegrus is analogous to the version of deepest, darkest Africa popularised by adventure fiction in the 1930s, and as such is full of bizarre creatures and grunting “natives” – but all viewed here through Borderlands 2’s rather skewed lens. The DLC begins with an invitation from gentleman hunter Sir Hammerlock, to travel to Aegrus with him for a lad’s holiday full of shooting the breeze and shooting the wildlife. I initially travelled there with an overconfident level 24 and was ritually sodomised by the first monster I came across – the disturbingly-spindly, spider-like Drifter. It’s also worth noting that, this being a post-game area, it’s bastard-hard for anyone lower than level 32. It can cause some confusion and a fair amount of disruption to the flow of the narrative if you should hop between the new continent of Aegrus and the Pandoran mainland that you’re used to, as one moment Jack is dead and a crazed doctor is attempting to bring him back by cloning him, and the next Jack himself is calling you a bitch via ECHO and generally ruining your day. It’s set after the main game, and whether you play choose to play it then or not, Handsome Jack will be dead in the storyline. The biggest and most important difference, though, is that while The Zombie Island was interesting and exciting, Big Game Hunt falls a little short of the mark on both counts. Ned himself, but in Big Game Hunt the culprit is Handsome Jack-obsessed coward Professor Nakayama. Also, both DLC packs feature a mad doctor conducting experiments on the inhabitants of this strange land. In both cases, this new continent seems to be comprised of ill-lit swampland with too much open space between points of interest. Ned DLC, in that it transports the Vault Hunter to another continent vastly different in appearance to the roads travelled in the main game. But while the previous offerings, Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate’s Booty, and Mister Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage were good and excellent respectively, can the same be said about slice number three, Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt?Īt first glance Big Game Hunt shares similarities with Borderlands’ The Zombie Island of Dr. Here we are, barely four months past Borderlands 2‘s release date, and we’ve already seen three substantial slices of DLC – not to mention the addition of a fifth Vault Hunter, Gaige the Mechromancer.

There will be new end-game content, including a new raid boss, which should be the most challenging foe yet. ![]() The max level for Borderlands 2 is currently set at 50, but Gearbox has said they plan to raise that cap very soon ( hopefully by the next add-on). They raised the level cap you say!? Well no, you would unfortunately be wrong. This DLC pack assumes you have completed the main storyline and does include spoilers, so make sure you’ve gotten your fill of the main campaign before beginning the hunt. Or course things go horribly array and you are forced to fight some of the most terrifying beasts to date. In Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt you join the suave gentleman of Pandora in what starts off to be a simple hunting excursion. This add-on will provide more quests, more epic loot, more baddies, and more importantly, more thrilling adventures. Have you conquered Borderlands 2 inside and out? Have you slayed the mighty Terramorphous and powered your way though Torgue and Scarlett’s trials? Are you finding most bosses a little too easy at this point? Well fear not Vault Hunter, because Gearbox has just announced it’s latest addition to the Pandora universe, Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt DLC.
