Fourth Borderlands DLC Announced, Hitting In September

Claptrap's New Robot Revolution is its name.

It appears as if those leaked DLC details from the PC version of Borderlands were right on target. The forthcoming content pack coming out of Gearbox for its shooter RPG will indeed pit you against a legion of rebel Claptraps, according to a PR blast from publisher 2K Games this morning. 

Claptrap's New Robot Revolution, as its being called, drops you in the middle of an uneasy alliance with Hyperion Corporation against a "cunning" Ninja Assassin Claptrap and his Frankenstein followers. You'll be asked to complete up to 20 missions surrounding these events, and of course, be given a ton of loot for putting down the kung-fu master.

Ten additional skill points, more backpack storage, and new loot are being offered, in addition to "original boss battles" with foes, as the leak suggested, you already know and love. 
 

No Caption Provided

== TEASER ==As you might have guessed, this will be the last bit of Borderlands content. In a statement, Christoph Hartmann called the DLC the "perfect bookend," after speaking to the fact that it is being released a year after Borderlands first hit stores.

New Robot Revolution will released on the PC,PSN, and Xbox Live Marketplace at $9.99 at some point this September.

I really hope that the rumors of a "GotY" edition of Borderlands with all the dlc are true since I already bought all the dlc on 360 and have since switched to PS3..

Fucking AWESOME. Can't wait for this. Although I do not like the idea of 10 more skill points without new skills. Characters will all pretty much be the same after this DLC. Also, after knowing what Gearbox will sometimes consider an entire quest, having only 21 doesn't necessarily sit well with me, but after reading the PC patch files, the DLC sounds fucking massive anyway, so I can't really complain there.

Yes. YES. It's been like 5 months since the last DLC so this should be huge. Even if it isn't I'm pumped!

As long as I don't have to travel everywhere by car, like in Knoxx, I'll be happy.

you know Moxxie was so unfun it seemed like anything would be better, then Knoxx was so fun i don't know how they could top it. Knoxx has set a very high bar, some of the best dlc ever right up there with Fallout 3's Broken Steel and Burnout Paradise's Big Surf Island.

I dunno about everyone else, but my PS3 version of Borderlands is fucking broken. My settings won't save, I can't get into private games with my friends, my friends list won't show up or random people without the game show up, save games getting corrupted, and people are modding their files which make me see level 70s around. It's fucking crap. So many people on the Gearbox forums are complaining but none of them are fixing the problems.

It also explains what happened to CL4P-TP Interplanetary ninja assassin at the end of the regular game after you unlock the vault. For those who don't remember this video clip is what I'm talking about.

I personally don't like Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot... I was playing alone and it was downright impossible...The thing that pisses me off is if you loose a round...you must go trough the previous one again...and you have to complete a whole set of 5 rounds for it to stay completed... Goddamn I tried for two hours and couldn't do it. 
 
A DLC that expands the story is always fun...The Dr.Ned's Zombie Island was cool and the General Knox one too. I bet this last piece of DLC is surely going to be awesome. Can't wait.

Level cap will not be raised, because not enough people maxed out.
