The
Borderlands website has details on the first DLC for
Borderlands: The
Pre-Sequel, which will allow players to take on the role Handsome Jack,
using some powers he will apparently lose before the events in Borderlands 2.
Here's word on the pack, which will be released on November 11th:
Starting
on November 11, you’ll be able to pick up the Handsome Jack Doppelganger Pack
for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or Steam, allowing you to play as the charming head
of the Hyperion Corporation for the first time (or at least someone who looks an
awful lot like him).
Jack has stood by for far too long watching the Vault Hunters go on exciting
adventures, so he’s decided to join in on the fun…sort of. With the Handsome
Jack Doppelganger Pack, you’ll be able to play as everyone’s favorite maniacal
tyrant-in-training, “Jack” the Doppelganger. As “Jack,” you’ll be able to summon
multiple Digi-Jacks, which will join you in battle to mow down enemies and earn
you more sweet, sweet loot.
Depending on how you spec out your Skill Trees, these Digi-Jacks can earn you
bonuses or even get you a Second Wind in Fight For Your Life. “Jack” can also
shoot enemies with wrist lasers, get buffs every time he picks up money (in
typical CEO fashion), or even get upgrades for using guns made by specific
manufacturers.
For those who already picked up the Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Season Pass, the
Handsome Jack Doppelganger Pack is included, but for players that haven’t, it
will also be sold individually for $9.99. The Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Season
Pass is available for $29.99 and grants access to all four of the upcoming
add-on content packs as they become commercially available on the PSN, Xbox
Live, Windows PC, Mac and Linux – a $39.96 value! – so, you’re getting four
packs for just about the price of three.
The teams at Gearbox and 2K Australia have been hard at work on downloadable
content since the completion of the game. While the other three packs are still
under development, the current plans are to include another character, a level
cap upgrade, a new campaign, and more!
So, you don’t have to wait long to get the Handsome Jack Doppelganger Pack as
it’s coming out in just 10 days. Get ready to take advantage of Handsome Jack’s
good looks and charm, to distract your enemies into submission. Or, just cut
them down to size with your witty banter. Or…just shoot them. That works too.
