NEW DLC!!

As was announced at PAX East the makers of Borderlands 2 have released a game update that adds a 3rd play thru and 11 more levels to the game.  The DLC is free for those who bought the Season Pass and 5 bux for anyone else. (Assuming you have the game)

Changes in 4/2 Software Update (Free)

  • Adds new items to the Black Market:
  • One additional ammo upgrade for each ammo type, at 50 Eridium each.
  • Two more backpack storage space upgrades, at 50 and 100 Eridium respectively.
  • Two more bank storage space upgrades, at 50 and 100 Eridium respectively.
  • Increases the maximum amount of Eridium players can hold from 99 to 500.
  • Adds a new playthrough balanced for top-tier play: Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode.
  • Various bug fixes.

Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack
(Free with Season Pass, $4.99 / 400 Microsoft Points separately)

  • Raises level cap to 61, allowing characters to gain 11 additional levels.
  • Characters gain a skill point with every level from 51 to 61, for a total of 11 more skill points.
  • Powerful new "Ancient" E-Tech relics and rare Pearlescent-grade weapons can be picked up in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode.

There is also a new SHIFT code worth 5 golden keys so be sure to check out the post

So far I am most excited about the new gear such as Pearlescent weapons and Ancicent E-Tech relics.  I never played must of the first Borderlands so it is good to see some of the old game being brought forward.

Though I am NOT looking forward to killing Jack for a 6th+ time, with any luck they changed the story slightly so different stuff happens in UVHM.
