<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Borderlands isn't done with its downloadable content yet, and a user digging into the latest PC patch found hints of what's to come. A poster on the Gearbox forum (via Giant Bomb) found details buried in the code, involving a rebellious ninja Claptrap who creates an army from spare parts. Enemies are said to include Claptrap versions of various menaces from the game, including Grunts, Midgets, Kamikazes, Rakks, and Turrets. More enemy and plot details follow at the link, for those interested in possible spoilers.

No mention was uncovered regarding pricing or a release date for the content, but the veracity of the user's findings was confirmed in an IGN interview with Gearbox head Randy Pitchford. "There are a few things in there," he said. "But I think it's like reading a draft of a script for a movie that hasn't even been announced yet, let alone launched - yeah you might learn something, but it's not the real thing and it could just drive you crazy thinking about it."

Pitchford jokes that knowing users will comb over new content so carefully might encourage the developer to tease the audience. "Seeing that this happened does make me want to hide some super juicy secrets in the DLC, though. If we do, we'll be sure to hide them really good, though, so it takes more than a day to find them."<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

This is copy/pasted from the post in the Gearbox forum and Gearbox has acknowledged that this is true:

DLC Introduction:

Marcus: Our story began when the Hyperion Corporation decided they'd had enough of the treasure hunters. With The Vault on lockdown, they had served their purpose, and now they were a drain on the economy. Why pay full price for
weapons when you can take a five-finger discount off the nearest corpse?

Marcus: Hyperion was looking to clear the drain, but those guys were one tough hairball...

Intro Kid: I thought you said the treasure hunters were the drain.Now they're the hairball?

Marcus: Well- yes, see the treasure hunters were blocking the flow of- and the grimy build-up of money and-

Intro Kid: This metaphor stinks...

Marcus: Shut up! The point is Hyperion had a plan. The treasure hunters could handle all manner of beastie, bandit, and batallion, but they weren't expecting the ... Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap!

Marcus: This claptrap was programmed to take our boys out indirectly. Trapping, poisoning, spreading catty rumors around town. Nothing was off-limits. He was smart... too smart.

Marcus: He looked around, and didn't like what he saw: claptraps being subjugated, humliated, obliterated. What we call programming, he called slavery.
So he rallied his fellow claptraps and turned them against their corporate masters. What started as a rebellion became a revolution. And take a wild guess who Hyperion called to clean up the mess...




*WARNING VERY BIG SPOILERS BELOW*


Story Overview:

Basically the ninja claptrap was created by Hyperion to stop the vault hunters from taking all the guns and treasure etc... but was too clever, he saw other claptraps being 'enslaved' and 'killed' - he wanted it to stop so he started a claptrap revoloution. Now Hyperion have asked the vault hunters to help them stop the claptrap uprising and return things back to normal but the claptraps have gone about... re-animating dead people and adding claptrap robot parts to them to fight in their army. Some of the people re-animated include Dr Ned. Commandant Steele and General Knoxx.

new enemies

To understand this: at the top (without a number next to it) is the basic name of the enemy and below it are versions with number. If it has a number 1 next to it this is what the enemy will be called in P.T. 1
A number 2 shows what it will be called in P.T. 2
A number 3 shows what it will be called in P.T. 2.5
A number 4 is so far a mystery

If the enemy only has a 1 next to it this means that it is called that on all play through.

I have highlighted red which enemies I personally believe will be bosses.

This looks awesome. Mad Moxxi's was such a weak DLC but the rest have been awesome. Looks like it'll be like Secret Armory. I'd get this day one.

Then you're not playing this right. I'm more than glad to play through the game several times. One playthrough can easily take 20 hours, plus doing it with all the classes and doing multiple playthroughs to reach the level cap equates to hundreds of hours of game time. I love it.

Awesome, I was wondering when they would say the next dlc is coming (again...they had already confirmed a fourth).

I actually liked mad moxxi's dlc...it added a bank and me and my friends love doing the tournaments.
