Borderlands Robot Revolution and New Patch

Borderlands Claptrap DLC and Newest Patch


1.  Claptrap's Robot Revolution

If you've beaten the original game, you'll remember a claptrap turning in to a interplanetary ninja assassion robot.  Well, in this DLC, that robot starts a claptrap uprising.  Soon, claptraps are turning bandits, skags, Hyperion soldiers, and anything else in to cyborgs to fight you.  A few bosses (mostly from other DLC) return in cyborg form as well. 

After completing the main quest, you gain access to a bunch of loot that you can get to in about a minute after loading the game, and you can do it over, and over, and over.  MUCH better than Knoxx armory raids!

Some of the achievements are collections, based on random enemy drops.  I have spent at least twelve hours just killing claptraps, and still haven't earned them all.

The Robot Revolution offers about a weekend's worth of content, and it's priced around ten bucks, so it's about what one would expect.  Or, it's included in the Borderlands Game of the Year edition with all DLC (fifty bucks on Steam).


2.  The Newest Patch for Borderlands

...which you have probably already read about if you own Borderlands.  It ups the level cap by another eight, for a maximum of 69 (or 58 if you only have the main game).  The patch also levels all enemies to match you, so you'll never be overleved on a quest.  Higher level enemies means better loot, so this is a good thing all around.
