  • I'm still saying it's a Claptrap Golem, pieced together from all of the Claptraps that Handsome Jack destroyed.
  • Hope it isn't disappointing. I need a new character before me and the wife start a new run. She is impatiently waiting to use the Mechromancer.
  • I first played as Zero and I was disappointed in this game. Then I tried the other characters and I realized that I wasn't disappointed in Borderlands 2 I was jut disappointed in Zero. I can't wait to jump back in and kill some more bandits.
  • I wonder if it's made from fabled Aliens: Colonial Marines assets. You know, the good ones that people have only heard tales of.
  • My only question about this DLC is if season pass holders will get it without having to pay extra or will it be considered separate and be charged individually?
  • This looks interesting... I use melee alot in my play style so this is a welcome addition for me. Also, a Claptrap Golem sounds beyond awesome.

  • Give me Claptrap character or GIVE ME DEATH!
  • Hmm... doesn't look like anything I hoped for. I'm skeptical. I was looking for a reason to start over once more but this one looks like a bandit to me. When they mentioned melee-focused character I was hoping for something like martial arts or maybe more swords. This one looks like a smaller version of Brick.

    Don't disappoint me, Borderlands.

  • I say huge cyborg that crushes stuff and his arm turns into a cannon as his special ability.
  • Sweet. But not sure if a melee-focused character is good or not in BL2.
  • GI, link to Youtube. Your streaming software is SH*T. How can you not see this?
  • Well that's a shame... melee is boring in an FPS.
  • Cool I guess. The horror aspect is a nice touch :P Maybe Dr. Ned-related?
  • On a side note, I bought it on a whim and haven't come nowhere near to finish.

  • That's chill!

  • Raise level cap plz?
  • I'm looking forward to this guy - I want to see how they implement a more focused melee character into the game. I assume he'll have some kind of melee attacks that will be performed with the triggers instead of having to press the stick in constantly. Also, who knows, maybe they'll introduce melee fist weapons for this guy or anyone else to try? That could be fun. All pure speculation at this point, but definitely got my imagination going!
  • not included with my season pass.....no thanks
