Borderlands 2 DLC Details Discovered, Gearbox Battling Bug
Written Wednesday, October 10, 2012 By Lee Bradley
View author's profile

New Borderlands 2 achievements, added alongside the game’s Mechromancer DLC, hint at upcoming content for Gearbox’s loot-stuffed shooter.

The achievements suggest that the game will receive a large, location-based chunk of DLC in the near future, set in the desert town location of Oasis. The update is thought to be called “Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate’s Booty.”

One of the achievements, called Gadabout, pings when you discover “all named locations in Oasis and the surrounding Pirate’s Booty areas.”

It is also rumoured that the forthcoming expansion will contain new items and a new vendor who sells top-level gear but only accepts Seraph Crystals as payment.

Four large-scale add-ons are planned for Borderlands 2, each of which promises to feature hours of gameplay and “introduce new adventures, allies, enemies and environments."

You can either buy each of the add-ons separately for 800 MSP, or pick up a Season pass for 2400 MSP.

Meanwhile, there’s a new Borderlands 2 bug in town that seems to be resetting players’ Badass Rank and losing their Gold Keys.

The bug popped up yesterday alongside the release of the Mechromancer DLC, yet the two are unconnected. "The good news is that the release of Mechromancer and today's update are not connected to the occurrences of Badass Rank being reset," said community manager Chris Faylor on the official Gearbox forums.

"While the timing may appear coincidental, it's a separate issue that we are continuing to investigate."

Gearbox is encouraging those affected by the bug to email them at, profiles@gearboxsoftware.com

Seraph Crystals are the crystals dropped off of Crystalisks. The third raid boss is supposedly called, from the code, "Crystaloferous the Invincible". So it seems this first DLC will be aimed at high level content and bosses.

No level cap increase I am guessing with this first dlc.They would usually have an achievement for hitting the new level cap.

I have no problem with it. But they need to fixes Get to Know Jack's side mission. I got problem first time in playthrough and it is just red switch so I have joined my friend and did mission and completed with him. Please fixes this and there some other bugs that other players mention before.

I'm hoping for some other use for eridium is added at some point, because I had bought everything and have 99 of it and I'm only half way through playthrough 2.

I know i can use four to access the invincible, but I get back to 99 when he dies, due to his drops.

@Lee Bradley: You guys should read your own forums once in a while.(I don't mean that in a sarcastic way. I really would like to see you guys read or post on your own forums sometimes, then you might at least get some info sooner).

This is not being leaked via any new 360 achievements, it was leaked via PS3 trophies. I posted this on the BL2 forum yesterday morning.

SOunds like fun, still holding out for season pass. Usually DLC goes on sale before season pass is even finished with all the content (gears.. cough...), so I'd rather wai 3 months longer and get everything half prices=) Sounds pretty cool though I would not expect any less from Borderlands DLC.

I really hope that thing about the high level gear vendor is true. I've been going for Decked Out since the game released and I still can't find a a purple class mod or relic.

@16 keep redoing the Bunker boss fight. It took me about ten tries, but I got a purple relic, four purple class mods, and tons of purple weapons and grenades.

@21 That's probably what I'm going to end up doing if I don't find them before I get to the Bunker boss in TVHM. I actually did get a purple class mod from the Bunker boss on my first playthrough but I'm playing as Zero and the mod was for Axton.

@17 No, moron, just the more popular games....you know, like the games they report on more often or possibly play themselves?? I know they are in the BL2 forum because they are moderating in there daily to get rid of repeat threads. It isn't far fetched to think one of those mods could report back and say "hey, I saw such and such info".

Besides, they are achievement whores just like the rest of us. I am sure some of them use the achievement guides in the forums and could also stumble on news that way as well. Maybe it is just me, but if I received a major leak about a very popular current game, I would think "hmmm, I wonder what is being said about it here on our own website?" and go check.

@14 They can do it but not have to do it and they can check some in one day then other day check some. No need rush everything in one time since too many in forums to read. Also some of team in developers or publishers should come here behind and check some forums. You know many of us not go on game publisher forum to tell what problem for bugs is. They can come here and take here or IGN.com forums or comments notes. Fair play though. :)

@#23 Instead of calling other names, think. I have only given two tips and got credit for them twice. Why? Because I click on the tiny link at the top right corner of the main page. Yes, it's that simple! I know it's hard to comprehend, but you don't even need to post it on the forum! I hope I showed you the way, my young padawan...

@25: First of all, you obviously didn't read the post I was referring to, since you missed the part where he called me a douche....THAT is why I responded in that manner. If you want to jump on a moral soapbox, start with the person I responded to.

Second, I don't care about 'getting credit'. I found the info on the Gearbox forum. I was simply saying that had Lee or anyone else checked their own forum or even the Gearbox forum beforehand, they would have seen the correct info....he is misreporting this as 'new achievements' being discovered when it is actually new PS3 trophies that were found. No new achievements have popped up for this game yet. It's called fact checking, young padawan....and it is reasonable to assume that the fact checking would start at either the developers' website or at least their own forums. That is the only reason I mentioned it.....it was only a single click away.

@26: Just because this article only went up today, does not mean they didn't know about it sooner. They may have learnt about it before you, but were busy with other things. I've emailed them a couple of tips, and they went up a day or 2 later. They cant post it instantly all the time.

I'm not saying that's definitely the case, I'm just stating it as a possibility.

@29: Yes, I understand that, however, that wasn't the point I was trying to make. Read the second paragraph of my first post (#14). I was simply pointing out that had they checked around first, they would have seen that it wasn't new achievements that popped up....it was PS3 trophies.

The only reason I bothered to bring it up is because, honestly, Lee seems to make mistakes like that with quite a lot of his articles. I just wish he was a little more thorough with his fact checking. Everyone else has been great, but there has been lots of confusion and panic cause in articles of his in the past. How many people do you think rushed to go look at their current 360 achievements after reading this? Not hating on the guy, just pointing out a small annoyance. It wasn't meant to be a big deal....It was Mr. 'douche' patrol and Viny the Jedi that blew it out of proportion.
