IGN was lucky enough to get an early look at Borderlands 2's next DLC, and threw a video clip of it online for all of us to see. Watch the clip at the bottom of the page for approximately eight minutes of Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage.
If you don't feel like going through the full clip, here are the highlights:
- It's about as long as the last DLC campaign, Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty
- Lots of side content is included, as are new trophies, weapons, etc.
- New challenges included for badass ranks
- Like the seraph crystals in Captain Scarlett, a new currency is available in this DLC: Torgue Tokens
- Torgue Tokens are used in a new type of vending machine. Each machine offers new weapons, including one legendary weapon as a daily special
- "New-ish" enemy types are included. Pschos and marauders are included, but they're specific to this new area
- The DLC has a heavy biker vibe, with muscle cars and motorcycles seen throughout (Torgue, torque, get it?)
- Competing in the arena requires a sponsor, of which there will be a range of
- Tiny Tina, Tannis, and Mad Moxxi all return in the new campaign
The DLC is centered around the discovery of another Vault on the world of Pandora, located in the colorfully named "Badass Crater of Badassitude." The Vault will only open "once the champion of Pandora feeds it the blood of the ultimate coward," so of course, Mr. Torgue has set up his campaign in an attempt to find the champion, and open the vault.
After Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage, Gearbox has two more add-on campaigns scheduled to release in the coming months.
Speaking with GameZone, Gearbox President Randy Pitchford said, "We are just getting started and have incredible momentum to improve and add to the game all the way through the holiday season and beyond. We can't wait to show everyone what more we have in store for Borderlands 2."
Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage is out Nov. 20.
