For those who loved fighting Crawmerax from the first Borderlands, you will enjoy taking on the behemoth Dexiduous. This brings me to the hidden invincible Drifter boss, Dexiduous the Invincible. Maya and Zero taking on some of the minions protecting Voracidous the Invincible
#Borderlands 2 sir hammerlock optional missions plus
As fun as this fight was, this boss requires more specific character builds and strategy, which is a plus in my eyes. First up is Voracidous the Invincible, who happens to be a slightly larger version of your super bad-ass stalker. Speaking of challenging creatures, Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt features two new “invincible” enemies that are, thankfully, creatures this time around and not humaniods like the past three. They can also be very agressive along with having strong defensive capabilities. If these witch doctors are left alone for a long time, you will be in a world of hurt, as there seems to be no limit as to how far they can power up their allies. They are often supported in combat by fellow bandit savages who’ve been powered up. With the addition of the witch doctor comes a new dimension to the Borderlands 2 combat system. You’ll find that taking out the witch doctors, which happen to be bandits with mystical powers that you learn to fear the most out of all of the new baddies added to this DLC, are still quite enjoyable to battle with. Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt does contain various new creatures and savage bandits that do give you an actual challenge when you do encounter them, even if your outfitted with the best possible equipment. However, to make up for the lack of fun and original side-quests.
It will get boring to most people rather quickly. You will soon start to realize that Sir Hammerlock’s DLC still contains a lot of fetch and go missions and has you travel around the many new locales without much excitement happening around you. For example, Clap-Trap has you clean the urine of a creature who’s been vandalizing Clap-Trap’s secret getaway hide-out. On a more positive note, the side-quests do try their best in making this DLC as entertaining as possible, which some actually do well. It leaves much to be desired from this DLC and leaves a big shoe for the side-quests of Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt to fill in. Unfortunately for those who were expecting a rather lengthy main quest line, you’ll be saddened to know that Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt only features three – yes, three – main quests that you can easily breeze through in less then an hour. It leads to awkwardly funny conversations as he desperately tries to seek your attention to fight him and avenge Handsome Jack’s death. He constantly interrupts you and Hammerlock to get his revenge since you killed his idol, Handsome Jack. Things goes terribly wrong thanks to a Hyperion scientist by the name of Proffessor Nakayama who can be simply described as the evil hyperion scientist version of Shade, the NPC from Captain Scarlet and Her Pirate’s Booty DLC.
The story behind Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt starts off by having our favorite vault hunters taking a weekend trip with the most sophisticated gentleman on Pandora himself, Sir Hammerlock, to hunt down some of the ‘biggest’ creatures on the swampy continent. The scenery is a much needed breathe of fresh air and features a rather bad-ass fan-boat that’s outfitted with a short-range flame thrower or caustic/shock mines that stick to their targets.Īxton taking on a few of the native savages in Aegrus Once you manage to fast travel to Hunter’s Grotto, where the story starts off, you’ll immediately notice how big and open the swamp continent of Aegrus is as well as the rather diverse cast of hostile creatures you can look forward to slaying during your stay in the refreshing swamp-like environments. Danger! Excitement! Mustaches! Borderlands 2’s newest and latest DLC add-on, ‘Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt,’ is now available for download, but how does it actually fair?
