![]() ![]() This Headhunter DLC takes place very near to the Highlands, in a similar biome. Moxxi even specifically references that Ellie and the VH have tried using violence to solve the bandit clans’ problems and now she’s hoping to offer a different solution. You’ll be doing this not long after completing the Clan War questline for Ellie, so this is a natural extension of that. ![]() This one plays out like a glorified side mission. The Sandworms act sort of like proto-Threshers minus all the tentacles and special abilities. Personally, I think Scarlett’s DLC is a worse introduction to Stalkers versus the Highlands, but I definitely prefer seeing Crystalisks for the first time in Hayter’s Folly. Rising Action.ĮDIT: I should address the fact that this is the only DLC that introduces new enemy types before they would normally appear in the main game. It’s inconsequential to the overall plot, but it’s a damn fun pirate adventure that the VH just so happens to partake in after being left behind in the wake of Sanctuary’s uh. ![]() He clearly doesn’t have access to your ECHO like he normally would during a mission.Īnd if this still bothers you just remember that the main game itself lets you take a mission from Claptrap that’s chock full of interaction even though Sanctuary is supposed to be hurtling through the Phase dimension (or whatever) while Claptrap makes unfunny ice puns.Īnyway, this DLC plays out like filler on a tv show. I’m serious pay attention to how he gives you the quest. In Scooter’s case, especially, it’s very clear that he doesn’t realize he’s talking to the VH, and it’s likely that his mission dialogue is delivered via pre-recorded message. However, you’ll notice that neither of them interacts with you quite like normal. There are absolutely zero references to the main campaign nor appearances by main game characters in this DLC with the exception of two short side quests given by Hammerlock and Scooter. This effectively strands the Vault Hunter(s) - maroons them, if you will, and creates an even lower low point for the story and a much longer journey for our intrepid VH to reunite with Lilith and the gang. Oasis is not overly far from Sanctuary on the world map (you can even see a sign pointing the way to Oasis near the Three Horns Divide fast travel station). Lilith accidentally moves the Vault Hunter(s) to Oasis instead of just a short distance outside Sanctuary. ![]() The Once and Future Slab -> Where Angels Fear to TreadĪnd now I’ll explain my choices in depth. So first comes the rough spoiler-free order:īright Lights, Flying City -> Wildlife Preservation This close to Borderlands 3, and with the newly added Lvl30 boosted character option, I’m probably the only person on earth who gives a shit, but I figured I should post this for posterity - and hey - maybe some of you veteran players who are replaying 2 before B元 launches will appreciate having a fresh order of operations for experiencing the story as a whole. This is purely based on experiencing a complete/definitive playthrough of Borderlands 2, and it’s centered around character and plot consistency between the DLCs. LET ME BE CLEAR: This has nothing to do with loot optimization or multiple playthroughs. The whole reason I wanted to do this is to find a spoiler-free and cohesive way to mix the DLC campaigns and Headhunter quests into the main story without defying canon. But personally, I think it’s kind of disappointing to just assume that all the DLC has to be played post-story. “It’s not hard, right? You just play all the DLC after beating the main game and save Commander Lilith for last.”Īnd you’re right. If you’ve ever heard of the famous “Machete Order” for watching the Star Wars films, this is like that but for BL2 and its meaty catalogue of side content. So basically I’ve spent way more time than I should have coming up with a “canon” way to play through Borderlands 2 and all the DLCs. r/PandoranRedCross - Donations & Power Leveling r/Borderlands3 - Gearbox can count to 3. r/TinyTinaWonderlands - Assault on Dragon Keep 2?
