Handsome Jack appears to disagree with some of my picks.

The level design in the claptastic voyage is insane, really took advantage of the low gravity and jump boost, It's worth playing TPS just for that dlc

[jesusmunoz]

The Pre Sequel is underrated. It has some good handsome jack lore. Some of the coolest easter eggs and one of the best dlc in the whole franchise. Also you could play as Athena but that's more of a personal thing.

I loved Claptastic Voyage but Dragon Keep was a true game changer for me. I can run the story over and over and it never gets old. RIP Roland

K6 I think just for the pain and humor you and joltz should see how fast you can speedrun the Underdome together

[SlyderGaming]

Really makes you think what they could’ve done if presequel sold better after the Claptastic voyage, just an out of left field masterpiece

I'm a big fan of environmental storytelling, so I put the other three season 1 DLCs up with Bounty of Blood. I love how the level aesthetics and soundtracks combine to really make a level FEEL a certain way. And this is especially true for Fustercluck, particularly Castle Crimson and the Benediction of Pain. Heck, the arena and music for Evil Lilith slap so hard I almost don't mind sitting there waiting for her to wrap up her immune phase.
Also I sneakily led my fianceé into the EXP Loader jumpscare in multiplayer and heard her reaction in voicechat, so that alone was worth it.

I actually like hammerlocks big game hunt :( the vibes are nice, the filter changes the atmosphere, it has the TWISTER (my favorite gun, also very rare) it has the most powerful gun in the game (interfacer) it has dexi! And cool creatures and enemies! A boat! A fun main quest! And nice side quests!

Ik this was awhile ago, but as someone who has only played bl2 and bl3, Kriegs fustercluck and the actual story itself, not to mention the amazing level design and experience, was amazing to me. It hit me like a very small amount of games had to where I felt like I was less playing a game and more watching a film.

[Liono]

I don't really think it's a difficult choice to say Assault on Dragons Keep is the best dlc in the franchise so far in my opinion.

[coltondow]

General Knoxx’s armory is still my favorite to this day

[TheZarn]

I will always defend Sir Hammerlocks Big Game Hunt.

The atmosphere and visuals are great, it actually feels like a separate Continent of Pandora like it's supposed to be.

There's no reskinned enemies, this dlc has some of the best mobbing in the game, the savages and witch doctors are challenging and fun to fight, and change your play style to work around the shields and the witch doctors break phaselock.

The story is great too, Nakayama is hilarious and the banter with hammerlock is good.

The Gear is good too, the hydra, rough rider, twister etc.

The empty space is really only on the first map and it isn't really an issue because of the boats.

The torgue dlc has way more open unused space, and also has awful boss fights, and all reskinned enemies. I love that dlc too but I never see it criticized.

[Maliwans_Executive]

GL&T, to me, is be far one of the best DLCs I've experienced(yet), I love the entire theme of it being Lovecraft, and fighting next to or inside a vault beast is interesting, especially with it's carcass being the entire terrain!

[Bootycheese]

I think it's really just a tie between tiny Tina's dlc and claptastic voyage with shadow-TP for me specifically they are both borderlands masterpieces

[fetusthegreat]

Assault on dragon keep was almost perfect and as someone who lost multiple parental figures at the same age Tina did the story, her character growth and that bittersweet gut punch ending were all amazing and resonated with me. I would also put the bl1 dlc's higher.

[chilpz]

Solid list. Pretty much my one change would be lowering Commander Lilith to A but other than we seem to be in agreement

[Bloodewing]

Catching up on content. I can't argue really with your rankings except Knoxx. I know it's pure nostalgia (I am old enough, and fortunate enough to have played the games as each came out), but Knoxx holds a special place in my heart. Yes, the travel sucks balls, but to this day if I get bored I'll run the "glitch" at the armory just to see what I can get. And the the humor? Chef's

[jimmyseit]

though i agree that hammerlock is objectively the worst main borderlands 2 dlc, i still love it because of how long it took me to beat it and all of the memories i had with it

[Boricua]

The way I would have improves the wedding day massacre was to have it have a boss that drops a grog nozzle, add more main missions and side content, add a loot room in the church.

[cdunlap]

Cartels is just pure joy with some of the best gear. I used to run it regularly on mayhem 4(I wasn't ready for 11 yet) and got loads of loot. Now I run it on mayhem 11 with Zane easy as pie and I haven't gotten a single piece of dedicated loot yet. Still fun as heck though
