Without divulging spoilers, two familiar faces make a welcome re-appearance to help train and sponsor you to the top of the leaderboards.īut the star of the show is Torgue himself, the muscular and loud tournament organiser who helps advise with your current objective throughout the expansion. While the introduction of another currency may initially appear to be an inconvenience, it's a welcome step that resets your current wealth and makes these new challenges and goals feel valuable - after all, most players will come into this DLC as virtual millionaires.įamiliar faces and trademark humour returnsĪs with the core campaign itself, one of the major highlights is the characters you find along the way. Examples include helping recall tainted bottles of beer delivered to citizens of the slums, and taking a game reviewer down a peg or two because he gave a game too low a score.Īnother interesting element are Torgue Tokens - earned from combat and mission rewards inside the expansion - which are used to buy new weapons from vending machines. While there appears to be fewer traditional side-quests in 'Mr Torgue's Campaign of Carnage' - certainly compared to the quest-rich 'Captain Scarlett And Her Pirate's Booty' - that's not to say there isn't a handful to be found.
#BORDERLANDS 2 CAMPAIGN OF CARNAGE MISSIONS SERIES#
Upon arriving at his lair you have to successfully compete in a bar brawl, where the game's usual suite of diverse enemy types fight it out around bar stools and pool tables, all in order to lure out your next mark.Ī later example doesn't involve fighting at all, taking to a series of highways that snake around the outskirts of the stadium, avoiding biker gangs in order to achieve a high enough time-trial time to catch the attention of the next warrior on the list.Īll these new arena-type battles are designed to be replayable - with tougher adversaries and less time to do them in - which constitute the bulk of the side-content in the expansion. It's here where some of the more unique arena battles take place. Heading away from the sports-like atmosphere of the stadium in search of a new sponsor, another new area, The Beatdown, is a set of gloomy city slums formed of battered shops, flickering neon lights and burnt out cars, where you fight your way through gang members aligned with your next competitor, Pyro Pete. With a sponsor backing you to enter, the opening offers a traditional arena set-up - a giant stadium with a baiting crowd at the fringes - before you're promptly betrayed and painted as a coward, resulting in a more up-close and personal approach to slaying the remaining warriors, which is delivered through more traditional quests. 'Mr Torgue's Campaign of Carnage' has you compete in a tournament, defeating a number of esteemed warriors to gain access to the contents of a newly-discovered vault. A smart refresh on traditional arena-battles
