This ‘free’ update will come out after the “Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution” DLC lands in September and will address the two most requested features that have been excluded from the DLC. Those being a new level cap and a rebalancing of the main game to accomodate the new level cap.
Gearbox CEO, Randy Pitchford, told a live PAX audience that they resisted making it a part of a DLC pack because if they included those features, “you’d have to buy every previous DLC” to get access to said features – a rather noble thing to do on Gearbox’s part one could argue.
Gearbox apparently struggled with how high to raise the level cap from its current 61. They weren’t keen to match the 11-point upgrade that many people paid for with the “General Knoxx” DLC, but 5-points seemed a little too low. Cleverly, Pitchford and crew “realized if we added 8 levels … ”
Yes. 69. That’s the new level cap and it should arrive around the same time as the October 12th release of Borderlands Game of the Year Edition.
