Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage, by Gearbox Software and The Workshop, is the name for the second DLC installment of Borderlands 2. It was released November 20th, 2012.[1]
The level of the initial area is set when the Badass Crater of Badassitude is first visited, but in Normal Mode is at least 15 and at most 30.
Plot[]
Tannis and Mr. Torgue, in a back-and-forth as they try to broadcast over each other, notify the Vault Hunters that a new Vault has been found in a crater, and that the vault will only open when "the champion of Pandora feeds it the blood of the ultimate coward". Torgue decides to build an a Arena in the crater, which he names the Badass Crater of Badassitude, over Tannis's protests, and declares he will set up a tournament to find the "number one badass". When they arrive at the crater, Torgue tells them they must sign up for the tournament. Even though the terminal explodes, Torgue enters the Vault Hunters in anyway. Torgue instructs them to find Piston and team up with him in the Arena. They find several bandit gangs have also joined the tournament. After fighting their way to the Arena, they meet Piston, who is being interviewed by a reporter. The reporter asks Piston to respond to claims by viewers that he's a cheater, to which Piston responds by brutally murdering the reporter, declaring no one is to call him a cheater.
After meeting Piston, he agrees to team up only if the Vault Hunters prove themselves in the Arena. After the Vault Hunters defeat the horde of gladiators, Piston reveals that he would never team up or share the riches of the Vault with anyone, and use Harmstrong gas to knock them out. They awake in a corpse-filled storage room next to an incinerator, escaping to find Piston claiming that they fled the arena in fear over having to face off against him. Torgue officially declares the Vault Hunters cowards, but then tells the Vault Hunters over a private channel that that was just for show, but that they must find a new sponsor to remain in the tournament. He directs them to The Beatdown, where the 4th ranked Badass, a man named Pyro Pete, has taken one of the freelance sponsors hostage. After defeating Pete and his cronies in an all-out bar brawl, the Vault Hunters free the sponsor, who turns out to be Moxxi.
Torgue declares that they are now ranked fourth in the tournament, and they are ordered by Moxxi to meet their new trainer: Tiny Tina. They find Tiny Tina, who is living in a colorfully-painted bus under a ruined highway, and she sends them to steal cookies from Torgue vending machines in the Arena Backstage, in order to build up their strength. Tina's delight at what she thinks are chocolate chip cookies turns to outrage at the discovery that they are, in fact, oatmeal raisin cookies instead, and she demands the Vault Hunters wipe the machines off the face of the planet.
After defeating the vile raisin cookie vending machines and returning to Tina, Moxxi tells the Vault Hunters of the third ranking gladiator, the cannibal Motor Momma. They must first complete a time trial around the Crater in order to earn Motor Momma's interest. They complete the trial, and Motor Momma challenges them to fight at the Southern Raceway. After repowering the gate to her lair, the Vault Hunters head to meet Motor Momma face-to-face. They find the extremely overweight Badass being hoisted down to her bike via a crane, as she threatens to devour them after the fight. She initially uses her motor bike to attack the Vault Hunters, but after they destroy it, the enraged Motor Mamma uses a rocket launcher to attack
After killing her, the Vault Hunters must find the second ranking gladiator, Flyboy, at The Forge. However, they find that the gate leading The Forge has been locked by Piston, who is trying to deny them a way of moving up the tournament rankings. The Vault Hunters once again enter the Arena Backstage and retrieve the key to the gate, allowing them to travel to the Forge, which is the primary mining site for the production of Torgue weapons. After fighting through the area, Torgue tells the Vault Hunters to destroy Flyboy's Buzzards and steal Flyboy's "bling" (a bunch of banjos) in order to anger him into fighting. After activating switches to unblock the path, they ascending his lair, killing his minions along the way. They find Flyboy at the top of the forge, but just as they are about to fight, Flyboy is blown out of the sky by a shot from the tournament blimp, which was commandeered by Piston. Using mounted turrets around the arena, they destroy the blimp, though Piston survives the explosion and retreats back to the Torgue Arena. The Vault Hunters follow him and enter the arena to face him. They find him in the arena with a new toy, the Badassasaurus, a large makeshift armored vehicle with the torso of a Tyrannosaurus Rex on top. They destroy his Badassasaurus, with Piston ejecting from the wreckage. The audience calls Piston out as a cheater, and he finally faces the Vault Hunters personally. After killing Piston and becoming the #1 Badass on Pandora, the Vault is opened by the spilling of Piston's cowardly blood, and the Vault Hunters are rewarded with a "lootsplosion".
