New Borderlands DLC: Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot
New arenas and a “bank” feature to be included
 By Jeremy Azevedo |
Not that there was ever any question that Borderlands was directly influenced by the Mad Max series, but this new DLC, “Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot” sounds like the video game version of “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome”. And that’s a very good thing. But it’s not the only good thing about it! |
The new DLC, like last month’s “The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned’, will retail for about 800 Microsoft points (or 10 earth dollars). And although the level cap will not be raised, there will be a couple extra skill points that you can acquire for your character, which may give you a bit of an edge in the arena. (Unless you’re playing as Brick or Roland, in which case, all the skill points in the world aren’t going to help you against Mordecai’s cheap-ass bird.) But best of all is the inclusion of a “bank”, in which you can store some of the 1337 gear you’ve been hoarding all this time! Sweetness!
“Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot” will challenge players to fight in three “Riot Mode” arenas against waves of Pandora’s most badass monsters and raiders. It probably goes without saying that this will be a nearly impossible undertaking as a single player, so you’d probably better gather a team for this one.
Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot will be available for download on XBLA and PSN December 29th, 2009.
