The final video in our series playing through Borderlands 2’s “Mr Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage” DLC in True Vault Hunter mode.
This video was planned to be a bit of a ‘wrap-up’ session, completing a couple of remaining side missions before continuing on to the final story mission.
We headed back into The Forge, where it appeared someone had been trash-talking us, so we had to deal with them in the appropriate manner (death, obviously!). Then it seemed that Mr Torgue himself wanted to send a camera crew along with us, capturing us killing bikers using Torgue branded weapons. This was a bit of a challenge as neither JBG nor myself had many Torgue weapons, so we were somewhat hamstrung by trying to use relatively underpowered weapons to accomplish this.
Finally, we returned to Flyboy’s territory, to attempt Tier 2 and Tier 3 battles collecting his ‘bling’ and destroying the Escort Buzzards. The Tier 2 battle was relatively straightforward, but by the time we’d failed the Tier 3 battle both JBG and I felt we’d done enough of this type of mission for one session!
It only remained to head back to the arena to take on Piston. Unsurprisingly, he continued to cheat, turning up in a robot dinosaur that proved pretty challenging to defeat. There were a number of times where one of us needed reviving, and luckily when we both ended up in that state, the Badassasaurus was close to death, so it was relatively easy to finish him off. Piston then needed dispatching, which we managed to do without too much drama.
After that, we headed back to Moxxi’s bar for a well-earned drink.
I have to say, playing through Mr Torgue’s DLC was highly entertaining, and it’s definitely a DLC that I’ll consider returning to in the future.
The final video of the Torgue campaign. This DLC has been excellent, for me largely because it has been about fighting bad guys and not nasty creatures. It’s all about bad guys for me.
That said we started with a wrap-up mission for fly-boys which turned into a slog. Largely because the enemies were all in the sky, so if you were fighting for your life the process could be tedious as the sky emptied and you were casting about for something to hit.
The final faceoff with Piston was serviceable, the monster truck made it challenging but a Boss Battle none the less. I would much better enjoy a tiered arena battle.
All in all, I loved the Torgue DLC. Borderlands 3 is in our sights so not sure how much more we will be returning to Borderlands 2, but if I was looking for something fun to do over a long night this would be on the shortlist.
