Borderlands 2: Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage: A Review
Borderlands 2: Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage is the first major DLC pack for Borderlands 2, and it’s a must-play for fans of the series. It’s got everything you love about Borderlands 2, plus a whole lot more. The new storyline is engaging, the new characters are memorable, and the new loot is awesome. If you’re looking for a great DLC to sink your teeth into, this is it.
The Story
Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage takes place after the events of Borderlands 2. The Vault Hunters have defeated Handsome Jack and saved Pandora, but there’s still plenty of work to be done. Mr. Torgue, a muscular and heavily tattooed man with a mohawk and a giant minigun, has invited the Vault Hunters to participate in his new tournament, the Carnage Cup. The tournament is a series of challenges that will test the Vault Hunters’ skills and determination.
The Vault Hunters must fight their way through hordes of enemies, including Biker Bandits, Bullymongs, and even Mr. Torgue’s own personal army. They must also complete a variety of objectives, such as capturing flags, destroying vehicles, and killing specific targets.
The story is full of humor and action, and it’s a great way to experience more of the Borderlands universe.
The Characters
Mr. Torgue is a hilarious and over-the-top character. He’s constantly yelling and screaming, and he loves nothing more than blowing things up. He’s also a skilled fighter, and he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty.
The other new characters in the DLC are also great. Tiny Tina is a young girl who loves explosives, and she’s always getting into trouble. Moxxi is a bartender who’s always looking for a good time, and she’s not afraid to use her body to get what she wants.
The Gameplay
The gameplay in Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage is similar to the gameplay in Borderlands 2. The Vault Hunters must fight their way through hordes of enemies, complete objectives, and collect loot. However, there are some new gameplay elements that make the DLC unique.
One of the new gameplay elements is the Badass Rank system. The Badass Rank system is a way to track the Vault Hunters’ progress and unlock new abilities. The Vault Hunters can earn Badass Ranks by completing challenges and killing enemies.
Another new gameplay element is the Carnage Meter. The Carnage Meter is a gauge that fills up as the Vault Hunters kill enemies. When the Carnage Meter is full, the Vault Hunters can unleash a special ability called Carnage Mode. Carnage Mode makes the Vault Hunters stronger and faster, and it also gives them access to new abilities.
The Loot
The loot in Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage is some of the best in the game. The DLC introduces a new tier of loot called Legendary loot. Legendary loot is extremely rare, but it’s also very powerful.
The DLC also introduces a new type of weapon called the Torgue shotgun. Torgue shotguns are powerful weapons that deal explosive damage. They’re perfect for taking down large groups of enemies.
Overall
Borderlands 2: Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage is a must-play for fans of the series. It’s got everything you love about Borderlands 2, plus a whole lot more. The new storyline is engaging, the new characters are memorable, and the new loot is awesome. If you’re looking for a great DLC to sink your teeth into, this is it.
