The newest DLC for Borderlands 2, Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage releases today, and to get you pumped for it, Gearbox has released a trailer. Check it out below!
First he hacked Gaige's twitter, now he hacks Tannis's echo feed? Either Torgue's a lot smarter than he looks, or he's got a pretty good crew working for him.
The trailer plays a lot like those old advertisements for Monster Truck Rallys, and Torgue talks in the exact same way. Hell, there's even a robosaurus styled amalgamation of steel and attitude called the "Badassaurus Rex."
Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage will be approximately the same length as the last DLC, Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty, and similarly includes new content, such as trophies, weapons, new challenges for badass ranks, and a new currency called "Torgue Tokens" that can be used to purchase weapons from a new type of vending machines. Each machine offers new weapons, including one legendary weapon as a daily special.
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 an arena in an attempt to find the champion, and open the vault.
"New-ish" enemy types are to be included - Psychos, marauders, and company get a biker styled makeover. 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. Several famous Pandoran faces return in the new DLC, including Tannis, and Mad Moxxi with Tiny Tina as potential sponsors for the vault hunter.
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."
As for any other new stuff gamers can expect from the campaign? Playing host to an AMA session (highlights here) on Reddit last night, Torgue said only the following:
"EXPLOSIONS, BOSSES, EXPLOSIONS, NEW WEAPONS, NPCS AND STUFF, A METICULOUSLY-CRAFTED NARRATIVE," and of course, "F*CKING EXPLOSIONS."
