Gearbox Software has announced the adding of several new hot fixes to Borderlands 2 on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. These hot fixes will automatically apply themselves if you’re connected to the net while playing, and are lost when you exit the game (due to being stored in the memory for a single game session).

The hot fixes include the Prodigy Class Mod for the Mechromancer properly increasing reload speed, rebalancing the Seraph Gear from the Captain Scarlett/Mr. Torgue DLC for more power, and Arizona no longer refusing to spawn if players are too far away in the Sir Hammerlock DLC.

These are only a handful of the hot fixes that have been announced for the wildly popular lootfest FPS. Stay tuned for more details as they become available for each platform. Meanwhile, if you haven’t played Borderlands 2, then stay far away lest you fall into a never-ending cycle of addiction and beautiful misery.

Brothers! Gearbox Software has finally announced the release of the third DLC for Borderlands 2, Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt, for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. The new pack contains new loot, tons of new quests, a new bevvy of enemies and of course, the lands of Aegrus to explore.

The story this time is simple: A relaxing hunting expedition with the dashing Sir Hammerlock goes awry as a new villain arises who is intent on restoring Handsome Jack’s legacy. That’s your moment to lock and load, but of course, Borderlands 2 will feature plenty of returning characters like Moxxi, Tiny Tina and many more to complement the new ones.

Did we mention new boss fights and a brand new vehicle? There’s plenty to do this time around, especially with the promise of new, upcoming in-game events.

Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt is available for 800 Microsoft Points/$9.99. Check out the intro for the same below.

Borderlands 2 Update Fixes “Hilarious” Glitch, New In-game Event to Start Soon

Borderlands 2, in case you haven’t noticed, likes to mock fans of the FPS/looting genre. You find guns in toilets. The respawn point looks forward to your next demise. Friggin’ Claptrap. And there’s more, but really, why put yourself through that torture when you’re just going to keep playing?

This humour extends to the DLC as well apparently. Gearbox has announced a new update that fixes some bugs, one of them being the Mechromancer’s summon Death Trap reviving your enemies’ shields. Gearbox’s take on this? “Deathtrap can no longer restore an enemy’s shields, even though it was hilarious.”

The sickos. But they really made some actual fixes, including “a bug that caused off-hand weapons to sometimes deal improper damage while Gunzerking” and “an issue where shotguns did not receive full damage boosts from skills and gear”. Check out the full list of fixes here.

In other news, Gearbox Software’s in-game events for the weekend are still on-going. Though the shotgun spree may be over, the newest event has started today and should wrap up tomorrow before the release of Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt DLC is out this week.

Borderlands 2: Gearbox Planning More DLC, Current Level Cap To Be Raised

Borderlands 2 must have Gearbox Software smiling from ear to ear. Not only is the sequel far more successful than the original and receiving more critical acclaim, but it’s showing higher attach rates for its DLC.

In order to reward gamers who continue to pay the company with their hard-earned money, Gearbox has confirmed to IGN that it will be raising the level cap sometime in the first quarter of 2013.

That’s not all though, as Gearbox will be looking to deliver more new characters and more DLC once the first season of content is finished (Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt is the third of four DLC packs to be released).

As of now, it’s unsure whether Gearbox wants to raise the level cap past past Level 50 in the next DLC or as part of a separate download, but they’ll be doing so in such a way that insures most gamers will want to replay the game again. Not that anyone would mind really.
