'Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel' (ALL) Handsome Jack Doppelganger Pack Announced

by Rainier on Nov. 1, 2014 @ 9:32 p.m. PDT

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel launches players to Pandora’s moon for the very first time offering low-gravity gunfights while playing as four new playable characters contributing to the rise of Handsome Jack.

For the very first time, fans play on the other side as four new playable characters contributing to the rise of the Hyperion Corporation. Fighting alongside Handsome Jack, players witness his transformation into the megalomaniacal tyrant that fans loved to hate in Borderlands 2.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel offers gravity-bending gameplay with oxygen-propelled jetpacks, as well as new weapons, enemies, vehicles, and moon environments. Playing as four all-new character classes with unique skill trees, gamers will contribute to the rise of Handsome Jack and experience his origin story as he transforms into the megalomaniacal tyrant fans loved to hate in Borderlands 2.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel continues the franchise’s tradition of industry-leading co-op allowing friends to play together locally via split-screen as well as online with drop-in-drop-out capabilities. With co-op being as seamless as ever, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel remains accessible for gamers and their friends to play alone or together in a variety of configurations.

With the Handsome Jack Doppelganger Pack, fans will be able to play as everyone’s favorite maniacal tyrant-in-training, “Jack” the Doppelganger. As “Jack,” you’ll be able to summon two Digi-Jacks, which will join you in battle to mow down enemies and earn you more sweet, sweet loot.

Jack has stood by for far too long watching the Vault Hunters go on exciting adventures, so he’s decided to join in on the fun…sort of.  With the Handsome Jack Doppelganger Pack, you’ll be able to play as everyone’s favorite maniacal tyrant-in-training, “Jack” the Doppelganger. As “Jack,” you’ll be able to summon multiple Digi-Jacks, which will join you in battle to mow down enemies and earn you more sweet, sweet loot.

Depending on how you spec out your Skill Trees, these Digi-Jacks can earn you bonuses or even get you a Second Wind in Fight For Your Life. “Jack” can also shoot enemies with wrist lasers, get buffs every time he picks up money (in typical CEO fashion), or even get upgrades for using guns made by specific manufacturers.

While the other three packs are still under development, the current plans are to include another character, a level cap upgrade, a new campaign, and more!

The Handsome Jack Doppelganger Pack will be available on Nov. 11, 2014 for $9.99, or free for Season Pass (4 DLCs for $29.99) holders.
