Gearbox Software has announced that the first DLC for Borderlands 2 will be hitting our consoles on Oct 16 2012 for 800 Microsoft Points or $9.99 USD. If you signed up for the Borderlands 2 Season Pass, this DLC is included. The new DLC is titled, "Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty", not much else is known at this time but I am sure we can expect some new areas, new weapons and new enemies. I can't wait!
Also, earlier this week Gearbox released an update to the game that fixed a lot of major issues such as stacking skill icons resetting, multiplayer bugs, co-op issues and red loot chests only spawning certain items. Along with the update came a new character class, Gaige the Mechromancer, which I started playing yesterday. I just finished killing Captain Flynt and am around level 7 so I haven't got too far into her skill trees however, from what I see thus far, she is a good mix between some of the other players skills (self healing, strong elemental damage) along with the addition of some new ones such as her 'Anarchy Stacks' and she has a robot companion, Deathtrap, who is just that. Deathtrap seems to deal quite a large amount of damage through melee attacks and can move around the battlefield. He lasts quite a long time, maybe around the same length as the Commando's turret, if not longer. My only complaint thus far as playing as the Mechromancer, her dialogue. She sounds like an annoying school girl, maybe a slightly older version of Tiny Tina and it has a way of grating on you after a while. I do love her striped stalkings though.
