Borderlands 2 Sir Hammerlock's hunt

Sir Hammerlock's hunt is the most recent DLC to be released for borderlands 2 the popular mash up of shooting, looting, role playing and bad jokes. Sir Hammerlock's hunt takes you to a new land called Aegrus with the sole purpose of killing some local wildlife in the loudest possible way. After messing about with the weird creatures that you will encounter and discovering that the hover boat can be quite a laugh you will fight some savages and uncover a plot to bring back Handsome Jack. Joy. So you run about, destroy some samples and dismember more annoying locals until you reach the big (small), strong (scrawny) bad guy. That said his secret weapon is an interesting boss fight. Unfortunately when actually going to fight the over all bad guy it is the most disappointing fight on borderlands, funny the first time. After this you can loot away and enjoy an encounter or two with the stalker raid boss. Return you hammerlock yada yadda yada kill some more innocent flying jellyfish things and you're done. Hammerlock's big game hunt is fun but it seems shorter than the other DLCs with only 3 chapters and lacks sufficient borderlands explosions and a truly humongous boss to fight at the end. It is still recommended just for the entertainment of talking to hammerlock, killing things and the general addition to the storyline. But the other DLCs are better.

 Dan and Kyle are currently doing some borderlands 2 raid boss farming to try and get some of the rarest loot which varies from super rare weapons to certain character heads.
