The much-awaited Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 DLC for Borderlands 2 finally has a release date. The DLC will be available on Steam, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live on September 3, according to Digital Trends. The DLC will be boosting the game's level cap by 11, thus bringing it to 72.

The pack, officially titled the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2: Digistruct Peak Challenge, will cost $5 (Rs 330 approx) on all platforms. It will feature a new map called Digistruct Peak, new loot and the ability to "overpower" your game for extra challenges.

Get ready to level up to 72!

The other DLC that is making its way to Borderlands 2 is Headhunter Pack: T.K. Baha's Bloody Harvest. The DLC will be released this fall, and will include a new mission and a themed boss fight with T.K. Baha, who fans will remember being present in the first game and some of its DLC. Beating Baha will award players with new customisation options for their characters. The price for this DLC hasn't yet been announced. There will be more Headhunter Packs released later.

Borderlands 2 has gotten a lot of DLC over the (almost) year since its release. The last DLC released for the game was Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, which was the last major story DLC pack part of the Season Pass. The DLC revolves around Tiny Tina as she gets the main cast of Borderlands 2 to play a board game based on Dungeons & Dragons. The vault hunters are sucked into a medieval world in the mind of Tina as she narrates the story and makes some rather interesting changes along the way.

Ever heard of one of those people who just never seem to shut up about something? Shunal is like the nerd equivalent of that guy. Believe us when we say that he can go on talking about games and smartphones for hours on end. We do manage to find some insight in his insane ramblings though, and through his moronic facade, he does seem to know more than he lets on. Sadly enough, it always ends up being about gaming with him. Or stupid, stupid puns.
