Borderlands 2

Some preview information about the next DLC:

In Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt, you’ll be exploring a new continent—called Aegrus—full of mountains and swamps. But Aegrus doesn’t just bring a new aesthetic appeal; it’s riddled with new enemies, too.

The swampy greens and mountainous browns are overrun by savages. Savages are basically like bandits. They look like headdressed, tattooed, spear-and-shield-equipped bandits. They even evolve like bandits do when you don’t kill them fast enough. Midgets still jump up behind you while squealing in that adorably terrifying way. You know the one.

But these tribes of savages doesn’t behave exactly like bandits do. Because they’ve got a chief. Chiefs can heal their friends, themselves, and send out powerful attacks (fire or slag, for instance) to slash at your health bar.

Giving one enemy type this much power means one important difference for you: you’ll have to focus all of your gunfire on this target first, unless you want to unload your clip into a bandit-style savage only to see his health bar reset thanks to these pesky witchdoctor-types. They’ll buff their friends while debuffing you, which results in nasty effects like slowing you down.

Then there are big, flying things called Spores. They hover above you, dropping mini, kamikaze versions of themselves onto your head. Scaylions are Varkid-like, bug creatures. Together these new enemies make up what feels like a fresh Borderlands experience.

Not a big fan of regenerating health or flying enemies. But I don’t care because MORE BORDERLANDS PLEASE.

I am trying to download the Carnival of Carnage DLC for my Xbox (I have the season’s pass).

When I successfully download it via in-game the “downloadable content” menu says I still have goodies to download, when I go to the list of goodies to download the only thing that I havent downloaded out of the list is the CoC DLC.

There is an exclamation mark next to it.

It says “Download Again”…

going to my Download History via Xbox Menu system it confirms it has been downloaded

how do I get the game to accept the fact that I already downloaded this DLC (twice in fact)?

Thanks Convurt and Naniad!

Just bought the game on the Steam sale… so what’s up with these Shift codes? Anyone can enter them?

Yep go in to the extras menu and shift code and enter the relevant code for your system and then when you load the game it’s in your inventory

The codes are time-sensitive in some fashion, so it’s generally not helpful to go back beyond the last few sets, but yeah, anyone can enter them after they’ve sold their soul/signed up to SHiFT. Just go to the Extras menu in game. Most give you a one-use key to unlock a major loot chest in your home base of Sanctuary, but some have also unlocked character skins in the past.

Here’s Gearbox’s knowledge base on the topic in case you have any questions.

Check your email, I got a shift code emailed to me this afternoon/evening because the world didn’t end today :)

Profanicus · 2012-12-21T21:25:46.000Z

I finally signed up for Shift yesterday and went back through this thread a bit, got 12 keys out of it.

Kadath · 2012-12-22T07:51:09.000Z

I can’t believe that Shift codes don’t work with the MAS version. And the Mac steam version does. WTF, is this a restriction based on Apple’s ‘no external sales channels’?

Balasarius · 2012-12-22T07:56:40.000Z

What is MAS?

Armiger · 2012-12-22T09:01:32.000Z

Some new ones from Facebook apparently:

PC: WTCBB-H5WHC-5F3T3-TBT3T-HR6TJ
PS3: CTC33-TZH9K-TW553-STKJ3-RJ3H5
360: WBKJT-SSZ5S-6S6B6-5FTTB-X5KSC

Cheers! Thanks for that!

Mac App Store

Those are apparently from the Doomsday confessionals.

I thought they were sending them out individually, so mine was a one off, which is why I did not post it. Apparently everyone got the same one depending on which system you selected.

Shift accounts are tied to Steam in the PC and Mac Steam version. Since there’s no Steam connectivity in the Mac App Store version, there’s no Shift, either.

Kadath · 2012-12-22T20:12:16.000Z

The MAS is entirely different, so is the Xbox version, so is the PS version. So what? They needed 3 separate versions for Shift, they failed to create a fourth and just told MAS buyers “sucks to be you”. As a Steam on OSX supporter I agree with that, but it doesn’t seem right…

DrDel · 2012-12-23T05:14:35.000Z

Is it just me or is the carnage DLC incredibly short? I finished it in 2 hours

ColonelT · 2012-12-24T07:38:14.000Z

Did you finish every quest? I didn’t time myself but I feel like it was 5-6 hours to complete all the content.
