In conjunction with the imminent release of Borderlands 3, Gearbox Software decided to surprise its fans with a new DLC of for Borderlands 2. The DLC is called “Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary”, and as the title suggests, it meant to bridge the event that took place between Borderlands 2 and the upcoming Borderlands 3.
According to the synopsis, the DLC kicks with Sanctuary under siege by a highly trained and militarised enemy, who’s objective is the Vault Map that the Vault Hunters had gained after the events that led to the death of Handsome Jack.
To up the ante, Gearbox Software has raised the in-game level cap to 80, giving returning players the chance to grind and farm better and more powerful loot. Further, newcomers will also receive automatic level boost to level 30, allowing them to skip the levelling grind, and jump right into the action of the DLC.
