The first video in a new series playing through Borderlands 2’s Main Campaign in True Vault Hunter mode.
After completing Mr Torgue’s DLC, we decided to play through the main Borderlands 2 DLC campaign in True Vault Hunter mode, concentrating on the story missions initially.
We picked up the action in Liar’s Berg, initially clearing the town of Bullymongs, before concentrating on the story missions. We escorted CL4P-TP to his ship (killing lots of baddies along the way!) before finding our way into Sanctuary. We helped Scooter get Sanctuary ready to fly and then headed into the Crimson Raiders Command Center to find out what we needed to do next.
The calm didn’t last long though, as we immediately headed out to Southpaw Steam & Power to track down four Hyperion Assassins, dispatching them as we came across them. We were then told that Roland may have been captured by a mysterious gang called The Children of the Firehawk. We had to follow the signs to find The Firehawk, who turned out to be none other than our Siren friend Lilith. After helping her defeat the bandits, we decided it was a good time to call time on this video, in readiness for trying to rescue Roland next time.
On the whole, I was slightly surprised at how straightforward these missions appeared, despite playing in True Vault Hunter mode. Hopefully, as we progress through the story things will become a little more challenging.
There is something reassuring about starting another playthrough of Borderlands 2, you know there will obstacles, lots of bad guys but you already know what’s coming and what weapons you’ll need to get through it. Then it’s about taking down bad guys and surviving and not doing anything stupid like killing yourself by accident.
The great thing about this playthrough is that we’re focusing on story missions. There is no time-wasting. We are both in True Vaulthunter mode, level 40+ and in no need of XP boosts unless the mission is particularly fun.
Getting to Sanctuary was effortless, possibly too easy but still enjoyable. Then we killed the assassins in double quick time because that side mission is always fun, then onto the story. I forget the order now but think you get straight into finding the Firehawk and Lilith. Still great fun.
Next up is Roland’s rescue, really looking forward to it.
