Welcome to the Holodome
2K Games announcedtoday the second DLC pack forBorderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and as with thefirst pack, it iscommendable in some ways but disappointing in others. InThe Holodome Onslaught, Axton and Gaige join the crew in Sanctuary, but having missed Athena’s first two recounts of the events on Elpis, they ask to hear an abridged version. This version only includes the violence, with none of the exposition.
Or in other words, it’s like Horde Mode.
The good news is that Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (UVHM) is releasing for free alongsideThe Holodome Onslaught, so any who have maxed out characters at level 50 now have another 10 levels and a third playthrough for the main campaign. It will be interesting to see how the difficulty in UVHM is handled here; the main crux of any successful strategy inBorderlands 2‘s UVHM was the use of slag, which is unavailable inThe Pre-Sequel.
So yeah. Once again, I feel for you if you purchased the season pass expecting four pieces of substantial story DLC like there were in the last twoBorderlandsgames. Instead, you have a character and wave-based combat so far. At least the level cap increase is free.
