[ALL] Borderlands 2

So that gold preorder key that goes to the gold chest in the game...

Back in May when the Borderlands 2 preorder packs were first revealed, they included a "Golden Key" that nobody quite understood. Today, Gearbox Software has revealed the in-game treasure chest that the key will open.

Seen above, the chest itself is a bit of a riddle that each player must solve for his or herself. See, the chest holds random, very powerful loot. However, the loot that pops out will be powerful only for the level at which you open it.

Therefore, if you open it the day the game launches, you'll have a great weapon to start the game, but you've also just squandered your chance to see what might come out later on down the road.

So do you hold off until you reach the late stages of the game? Or open it quickly and wonder til it drives you mad what might have come out ten levels later.

Moral of the story: Don't piss away the key until Level 50 or better.

Med, starting laughing out loud at my desk when the IGN reviewer said that Borderlands 2 has a lot of "subtleties"

The subtle undertones will continue to abound!

EVERYTHING BURNS

LMFAO Its all about the subtleties of those undertones, Pandora Keeps it classy

Everyone best buy a good pair of runnin' shoes because I'm looting everything.

Dont ever use that Fuking Stansfield clip again, you're Fuking awful at it

Sorry I was drinking with my pinky up over here...

Nice IMG quote when I deleted it a while ago... you really got me. Ow.

Get at me when you post another crayon drawing nobody'd put on their fridge.

Does anyone know if the Golden Key is truly a one time use item, or is it usable only once per playthrough? I don't think I've read anything that makes it clear which category it falls under.

I don't think it was ever specified.

Oh Jay, your Fridge is the only one my crayon drawings would ever wanna grace

This game looks good. Still trying to figure out which console to get it on.

I didn't play much of the first one before trading it in (I no longer trade games in). It didn't seem to get a hold of me but I'll admit, I didn't give it much a chance. After trying to play Afro Samurai (read about it in Random Arcade Thread), I am DL'ing the game from PSN for free. I also saw that the DLC is 50% off. If I get all the DLC "Boderlands Add-On Extravasplosion Bundle" for $10, how does it work in the game if you haven't played it yet? Does it show from the beginning or does it appear when appropriate....anyone know?

If you DL the DLC into the game, the starting hubs for each DLC piece shows up on your Hub List (places like Fyrestone, Skag Gully, etc.).

You just select one of them to warp to whatever location you'd like to play in.

I.E., they're available immediately as soon as you get the teleporter/New-U station open in-game.

I know the Moxxi and Zombie Island of Dr. Ned DLC scale to your character while Secret Armory of General Knoxx starts at Level 35 on the first playthough.

No idea about Claptrap Revolution but it's recommended you play that after Knoxx from what I've heard.

You ready, Mr. Dizzle?

You ready, Mr. Dizzle?

NHL goes back tomorrow, I pay off the rest on Monday and for the first time in years, I'm hitting up the Midnight Release.

STRIKE Team may burn it all to the ground but I'm gonna destroy the planet.

Just get the Extravapolosion bundle. It's all four packs for $10 which is insane. EacH DLC was $10 alone.

From their Twitter Handle:

@GearboxSoftware Each Golden Key can only be used once total, not per character.

It looks like I'm not using it until my second playthrough then.

Yeah I'm going to get that but wanted to know how it was incorporated into gameplay if you hadn't played the game from the start.

WTF is a golden key?
