Borderlands 2: Mechromancer, Captain Scarlett DLC on PSN Tuesday

Hey guys, Jonathan from Gearbox here! I was walking around the office the other day and wouldn�t you know it � Sir Hammerlock came up to me and handed me a letter and asked if I could share it with you. Here�s what he had to say:

Dear Vault Hunters,

I�m well aware of your never-ending thirst for things to shoot and or loot, and I�m positively thrilled to announce some news nestled firmly in that avenue. Not one, but TWO pieces of downloadable content (or �DLC,� for the acronym-fond amongst you) for Borderlands 2 will soon be available for your procurement.

Have you ever dreamt about romancing a mech? If so, then you have been greatly misinformed about the new character class DLC. You shall receive the pleasure of playing as Gaige the Mechromancer (she�s a mechro-mancer, rather than a mech-romancer, you see � the importance of syllabic emphases can seldom be understated), a spectacularly brilliant prodigy of a girl who uses her robotic friend to slash, punch, and otherwise eviscerate the many fearsome foes of Pandora. She can also manipulate electricity by invoking the power of science. I also hear she�s a bit of an anarchist, but in a rather fun, mowing-down-bad-guys-while-humming-rock-music sort of way.

Last, but certainly not least, is �Captain Scarlett and her Pirate�s Booty,� the first campaign DLC for Borderlands 2. You can enjoy the splendor of skimming over the dried-out desert dunes of Pandora on a sand skiff, all the while shooting sand pirates with new guns and searching for treasure. As for Captain Scarlett, she�s the most pleasurably forthright backstabber I�ve ever met � an honest brigand, a truth-telling liar. Splendid woman.

So, there you have it � a brand-new Vault Hunter with which to wreak havoc, and an equally new campaign to wreak aforementioned havoc in. Look sharp, adventurers � there�s never been a better time to visit the Borderlands!

Tally-ho and all that,
Sir Hammerlock

An addendum (the nitty-gritty details):

If you pre-ordered Borderlands 2 at a participating retailer, you can play as Gaige for free as part of the Premiere Club. If not, you can acquire her for the paltry sum of $10. Included with Mechromancer, you also get cool Gearbox guns, Vault Hunter�s Relic and a golden key that unlocks a rare item in the mysterious Sanctuary Loot Chest.

If you�re a Borderlands 2 Season Pass holder then you�ve already acquired �Captain Scarlett and her Pirate�s Booty,� and simply need to download it the moment it comes out tomorrow. Otherwise it too can be obtained for $10.
