Borderlands 2: Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt DLC

[h1]Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt — a DLC that feels like a side mission with extra steps (and it’s mid)[/h1] 8 hours on record (main + side missions) Bought it as part of a bundle for $2 during the June 11 sale. 🧃 [b]Included in the bundle:[/b] [list] [*]Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty [*]Collector's Edition Pack [*]Collector's Edition [*]Creature Dome [*]Creature Slaughterdome [*]Mechromancer Pack [*]Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage [*]Premier Club [*]Psycho Pack [*]Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt [*]Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep [*]Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack [/list] [hr] [h1]🛠 Performance & Gameplay[/h1] Ran smoothly on my potato laptop 🥔 (specs linked below), just like the other DLCs. But... the [i]collision boxes[/i] on some environmental objects (like rocks) are [b]way[/b] too big. Sometimes it felt like I was walking on air because the invisible walls were larger than the object itself. Also, the hovercraft? More like suffer-craft. 😩 It’s clunky, awkward, and struggles to cross even [i]tiny[/i] rocks in shallow rivers. Ironic, considering it’s supposed to hover... [hr] [h2]🗺 Side Missions[/h2] Side quests are supposed to build the world, introduce lore, and expand your experience. But this DLC? Almost every mission involves silent, lifeless monsters. 🧟‍♂️ No real characters, no depth. Just kill quotas. The [b]only[/b] side mission I actually remember is "[i]I Like My Monsters Rare[/i]," and that’s because of how ridiculous it is — you have to hunt rare monsters that spawn maybe twice per game load (if you're lucky), and kill 8 of each. It’s not fun, it’s just... exhausting. [hr] The DLC opens like a side mission. Sir Hammerlock invites you on a monster hunt, and you agree because hey, why not? But Hammerlock barely does anything. He just fixes Catch-a-Ride stations, then chills in a cabin for the rest of the DLC. Bro doesn't even tag along. 🤨 There are basically [b]two[/b] characters with actual face time: Hammerlock and Claptrap. Everyone else appears only via ECHO as 2D portraits. No depth, no development, no memorable moments. Also, this DLC has [i]no connection[/i] whatsoever to the main storyline or what's happening in the real world. No mention of Lilith, the Crimson Raiders, or any major characters from the main game — unlike [b]Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep[/b], which was deeply tied to post-story events. This whole DLC feels like the Vault Hunter just went, “Welp, I’ve got nothing better to do — guess I’ll go monster hunting with Hammerlock to kill time.” It’s truly a side quest in every sense. Even the final boss is a letdown. You fight a genetically modified monster, and when its creator (Professor Nakayama) shows up... he [i]trips down the stairs and dies instantly.[/i] 😐 I mean, sure, it’s kinda funny, but I wish he injected himself with some mutagen or something to become a second-phase boss. His motivations were there — reviving Jack, proving his research, all of it! He could’ve gone full mad scientist... but nah, stair death. 🪜☠️ [hr] [h2]💀 Final Thoughts[/h2] Mid-tier DLC at best. [list] [*]Forgettable side quests [*]Main story has zero impact [*]Some janky object hitboxes [*]Vehicle feels like a hovercraft in name only [/list] [b]Don't buy this at full price.[/b] Bundle it or skip it.
