And ‘irreparable psychological trauma’
Gearbox showed off the trailer for the upcomingBorderlands: The Pre-Sequeldownloadable content to a select group of fansduring its panel at PAX East, but it is now available for anybody to watch. Maybe even you? Yes, if you want.
Finishing off the four-pieceSeason Pass,Claptastic Voyageis the first piece of DLC for thePre-Sequelthat includes a significant story portion, where two others were the new playable charactersJack the DoppelgangerandAurelia the Baroness, and the third was anarena combat mode. In contrast, Claptastic Voyage is described as requiring “several hours” to play through, featuring new guns and enemies to fight.
The trailer above shows off a new feature: glitched weaponry. Since this mini story occurs inside Claptrap’s digital mind, some of the equipment is glitched, giving it a unique look along with some interesting combat effects that often come at a price (like the cursed equipment found in theCaptain ScarlettDLC forBorderlands 2). The trailer may be a little misleading highlighting skills; it will unlock additional levels to gainmoreskills, but it doesn’t appear to add anynewskills.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel: Claptastic Voyageis set to release on March 24, coinciding with the launch ofBorderlands: The Handsome Collection.
