A D&D-themed expansion in which the Vault Hunters take part in a game of 'Bunkers & Badasses' being run by Tiny Tina, it's both a send-up of fantasy cliches and a series of spot-on jokes about the kind of D&D games teenagers run.Īt the same time it's a retelling of Borderlands 2 through the lens of a different genre that acts as a weird kind of therapy session for the characters who've survived it. Of all the DLCs released for Borderlands 2, this is the unmissable one. When to play it: Immediately after finishing the story in your first playthrough How to start it: Fast-travel to Unassuming Docks Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep

It's the original Borderlands' one truly essential add-on. Finally, the armory itself is a lootsplosion that makes all the hard work it takes to get there feel worth it. It's still more spacious than it needs to be, but it tries.

The Secret Armory of General Knoxx was a taste of things to come. Load up with loot with Borderlands 2 SHiFT codes Check out our retrospective on how Borderlands 2 was ahead of its time
