Borderland 2's Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 will have overpowered weapons

Gearbox has revealed more information about the upcoming Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 DLC for Borderlands 2. The DLC is making its way to PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on September 3. When combined with the original Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack, the new pack will raise Borderlands 2’s level cap up to 72.

It will also be getting a new map and mission. The DLC will revolve around Digistruct Peak, which will have its own Legendary class mods and Pearlescent-grade weapons. If confident, players can also unlock overpowered enemies which will drop better loot.

Combining both the Upgrade Packs will get players more bonuses, such as more badass weapons, overpowered loot and new class mods.

Get ready for more mayhem
