Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel DLC adds frosty sniper Lady Hammerlock

Added: 25.01.2015 18:00 | 14 views | 0 comments

When it comes to meaty DLC packs, the Borderlands series doesn't mess around. The first two games extended the shootin'-and-lootin' action with sizable themed campaigns and even additional classes - and continues this tradition with its substantial post-release content. Wondering what kind of moon-based DLC is on tap, exactly? You've come to the right place.

We'll continue to update this article as we learn more about The Pre-Sequel's numerous add-ons, so keep checking back here if you're fiending for more of Borderlands' trademark gunplay and madcap sense of humor. Until then, click on to see all the Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel DLC currently on offer!

As fierce in the boardroom as she is on safari. Lady Hammerlock brings high-powered business dealing (and sniper rifles) to Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel as its sixth DLC character. She's the sister of the posh and jolly Sir Hammerlock, and the heir/matriarch of the Hammerlock family fortune - and as you may have guessed from her dearth of cybernetic prostheses, she's a bit less danger prone and a lot more deadly.

Hammerlock's stare isn't the only icy thing about her - she can also use her Cold As Ice action skill to throw out an enemy-seeking Frost Diadem Shard, which will move from one to the next as its targets succumb to frostbite/bullets. Her Cold Money skill tree focuses on this angle, ultimately letting her kills add cryo damage to all weapon types (or bonus cryo damage if that's already their shtick). Her Huntress and Contractual Aristocracy skill tree focus on boosting sniping and letting her collect kill bonuses from her co-op partners, respectively. The Lady Hammerlock Pack is available starting January 27 in North America and January 28 in Europe.

Much like Agent Smith of The Matrix fame, Handsome Jack is the kind of guy who's vain enough to make copious copies of himself. And what's the next best thing to actually playing that misguided, unforgettable loudmouth? Why, playing as one of his Doppelgangers, of course! Even better, this class is basically the Inception of Jack body doubles, since even his Doppelganger gets to summon minions made in his own narcissistic image.

Yep - the faux-Jack can create back-up at any time with his Expendable Assets ability, which creates two Digi-Jack holograms that are equally as handsome as you are. The Doppelganger's talent trees let you buff up those Digi-Jacks to Badass status, on just focus on your own firepower and make your Digi-Jacks more like meatshields. Because let's face it - that's totally what the real Handsome Jack would do.

If you've played The Pre-Sequel - likely, since you're reading all about its DLC - then you know about the game's awesome framing device, where Athena is retelling the story of what happened on Elpis. Those lovable Vault Hunters Gaige and Axton showed up late to the party, and now they want to hear Athena recap all over again. But they don't have all day - so they want the abridged, way-more-difficult version.

The Holodome Onslaught is like a greatest-hits of The Pre-Sequel, bringing back tons of memorable bosses (and a few newcomers) for you to fight with amped-up difficulty. The Holodome is essentially an arena, where you'll have to fight off increasingly challenging waves of enemies; a bit like Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot from the first Borderlands. Additionally, this DLC comes with the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack, which bumps up the level cap to 60. More levels, more skill points, baby! While you're here, why not check out a few more screens...

That's all the Pre-Sequel DLC we know about so far, but keep checking back for more as it's announced! And try not to get yourself killed out there.
