New Borderlands 2 DLC, Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 and a new level cap of 72 is coming this fall, Gearbox announced at its PAX Australia panel today.

The Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 DLC will be released this fall for $5.00. It includes 11 more levels and Digistruct Peak Challenge, which is a new map, loot and the "ability to 'over level' your game for extra challenges." The DLC will not be part of the Season Pass.

DLC Headhunter Pack:T.K. Baha's Bloody Harvest is coming this fall. The Headhunter Pack: T.K. Baha's Bloody Harvest DLC includes a new mission and a themed boss fight featuring T.K. Baha — the character was in Borderlands 1 DLC The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned — and a boss fight with Jacques O'Lantern, a Giant pumpkin boss. If players beat the boss, they will be awarded new character customizations.

Pricing for the DLC will be announced later on and it will not be inclusive to the Season Pass. The company also announced that additional Headhunter Packs are slated to release at a later date.

Extra ammo capacity, backpack, bank slots and more customizations for Borderlands 2 characters will be coming later this year as a free update. Extra heads Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep is coming "soonsih." Also shown during the Gearbox panel, a new short film for Krieg the Psycho was teased and stars Tiny Tina and Brick as they outsmart Hyperion captivity.

The company also announced that the Gearbox Community Day will be held worldwide on Sept. 14 and will be livestreamed. Interested parties can check out event details on the official website.

PAX Australia attendees at the Gearbox panel were given DLC code for new heads and skins which will be released to all gamers on the Gearbox Community Day. PAX Australia attendees were given Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2: Digistruct Peak Challenge for free. SHiFT codes for extra heads Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep were also distributed.

Less time aiming for a 61 Infinity then!

Kawaii Killer though. . .damn bug.

**Kanluwen**

"Digistruct Peak" is apparently Underdome 2.0 but where you get to pick and choose bosses to spawn and fight.

**orkdestroyer1**

The Lady fist is the most beast unique pistol i have come across as the 400% extra critical damage it does is epic and when tied with the bee shield the amplify damage makes it a boss killer. (I can kill the warrior in less than 2 minutes with it!)

**orkdestroyer1**

Mr Torgue is so funny.
"NEW MISSION!...I want you to blow up THE OCEAN!"

**gunslingerpro**

Undoubtedly. I'd love to have him in the Moon Base raid.

**orkdestroyer1**

Well according to a quote made by him (in mr torgues campaign of carnage) he says that he is broadcasting to you from his 'space truck' that is in orbit around pandora...so you may see it/it crashes into the moonbase because thats badass/you pilot and fire rockets from the space truck (whilst mr torgue plays a guitar solo) at the moonbase because thats even more badass.

**timetowaste85**

There is nothing about that that sounds bad. Lol

This post, right here, is all the convincing anyone should ever need to pick up and play.

MMORPGFPS is the funniest mission ever because you get TOLD to T-bag XXDATVAULTHUNTRXX's corpse and [720noscope]Headshotz calls you a hacker.

**orkdestroyer1**

How good is the GUB legendary weapon?

**Super Ready**

Damn good - but still not a patch on the ol' Infinity/Bee combo.

**orkdestroyer1**

I have a slight problem...
I am in UVHM but it is not levelling me up.
Can anybody help me with this problem?
(also UVHM pack:2 has been released)

**Super Ready**

What level are you at the moment? Also, have you actually bought and applied the DLC? The extra levels are still part of the pack and aren't free, or automatically applied (although over Steam they ARE I believe automatically *downloaded*).

**orkdestroyer1**

Also if anyone has a lvl 50 nukem to dupe on PS3 i will dupe you a lvl 50 norfleet.
Just PM me on here first to arrange a time and date

**kirsanth**

Most of our gear is more towards 61, but we are aiming for 72 if anyone wants to join on PS3.

I have a Siren that can seems to be able to solo for some levels along with my lady playing Psycho or Gunzerker, if anyone cares.. (or has loot you think we can use.)

**orkdestroyer1**

Even though I dont have a LVL 61 character...have you tried the the pyro pete's bar powerlevelling method?
(where you do bar room blitz over and over and use the norfleet)

**orkdestroyer1**

Is the tresspasser sniper rifle (the one that by-passes shields) good for killing pyropete the invincible?
