"In the picture with the tuxedo-styled Claptrap you can see at the bottom of the ramp a bounty board which means many more missions to come in the DLC."

... Or it means that the arena missions are recieved via that bounty board.--92.16.123.229 20:11, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Is it just me, or does the voice in the wave video(presumably Mad Maxxi's) kind of sound like Tannis's? I mean, its probably the same voice actress, but could Mad Maxxi just be a varaition of Tannis like how Zed is a variation of Ned? I mean Mad Maxxi. Also, when she is explaining how the wave/round system works she compares it to molecules and atoms. Could my theory be right, or am I just fanboying? --Estey 16:34, December 19, 2009 (EST)

No,, you're right I compared the textures of Tannis to the pictures of Mad Moxxi, they are near identical. Guess you're right--Mishulover69 07:57, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
software studios are pretty loyal/reliant to their voice actors {see 1/2 life 2 and portal}. i admit moxxi's commentary and the sounds of the 'studio audience' hooked me for this dlc, 2 cool 2 pass up.<+> Dr. F
I said NEAR identical and NOT the same voice actors,
thats true. textures have no relation to voice acting. to me it sounds like it _could_ be clinkenbeard. this does not affect my enthusiasm for the dlc. having a chick mc announcing waves and flavor commentary is, i think, a cool idea. <+> Dr. F 05:18, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

husbands

is Marcus Kincaid husband number 3 (i think its number 3 :S) the one where in the vid she flicks the head on the statue much like the way he does in the opening scene on the bus. Roboticsuperman 09:26, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

It's quite obvious that he is. The money, the bobblehead and the bus. --Nagamarky 19:56, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Who's the Baby Daddy?

I think the real question is "Who is Scooter's father?" Shank? Marcus? Steve? ...Lucky??? We may have to go on Mad Maury to find out. Fryguy42 06:34, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

Why Steve!

Why did he have to kill Steve! Heyoo!--Kirby888 05:28, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe because Steve was zombified in the first DLC? --Nagamarky 06:10, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
To be fair, she still regrets "breaking her toy".

PC release

Just checked Steam, the DLC is out for PC at least for Steam as of 9:00 PM EST Jan 7 (Today). I bought it and am currently downloading it. If someone wants to add that to the actual article, that'd be great.

Quick Question

Is this DLC like the main game and the other where there is two sets of prizes and missions, or am I wasting my time beating the level 50 leveled opponents in Playthrough 1 with my 2.5 character or will I actually get something extra. I'm asking since I noticed the opening vid doesn't play a second time when you switch playthroughs and the enemies do level with you no matter where you are in the story.

Rule Changes?

Also with the new pack players can change the rules of their games such as vampire mode or low gravity mode and these changes don’t just apply to deathmatch arenas but the entire game world. That’s sick!

What's the deal with "vampire mode" and/or "low gravity mode"? I thought I ran faster for a while after getting the DLC, but that's all. Can somebody post something about these new "modes" to the main page (if they exist)? V.A.T.S. addict 17:00, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Those 'modes are only in effect during the tournament in mad moxxi's arenas. Once you go out, all gone. Steel crab 16:14, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Wave Question

For the smaller Tournaments, I understand that there are five waves for every round (or vice versa, whatever). But when i beat the first 5, it started over. How many rounds/waves do you have to go through to beat the arena for the lesser and large challenges? Riverunsred1 00:52, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

In smaller tournaments there are 5 rounds with 5 waves apiece, and in higher (after you beat all the smaller tournaments) there are 20 rounds of 5 waves. Steel crab 16:14, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. That's VERY intimidating, and i notice that if i died during round 3 it will take me back to the previous round. So if i'm on round 5 and i die, it takes me to 4? Also, i'm on level 42 or so, and this stuff is HARD. i wish there was a save point somewhere, I need a great shotgun and a great combat rifle and sniper rifle if anyone has extra super-amazing ones.....even if i have to wait a few levels to use them. A nice guy gave me an AMAZING rocket launcher the last time i helped with his coop....lol. if you're ps3, friend me! riverunsred1 64.83.144.1 18:17, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

The COM/grenade/shield glitch

I just experienced this glitch myself, but I noticed 2 odd things

- I had aquired a messed up version of the gun I was using (basically the same, but the magazine size went right down to 2, and the damage was a LOT higher).

- Equipping a new shield, grenade and class mod made my old missing ones appear in my bag.

The real version of my gun was also in my bag. I suppose I *could* have accidently insta-equipped a loot drop on that one, but I am sure I didn't. The weapon is also really similar, and its damage is rather high for its level (double similar guns).

The important thing is, if you experience this glitch, you might be able to retrieve your items if you can force them to unequip by equipping something over them. Even when I had "no" shield, I still had my shiled value on my bar, so the item still exists on some level at this point. I suspect the glitch only permanently kills the item if you save and quit. Despite not having a backup, and getting this glicth, I am not missing any items. I hope otehr people can save their items this way in the future, would save a lot of headaches!

i've been wondering, there was an update to the game just as knoxx came out, do we know if this was patched then? i've never been hit by it (though i'm still using my second-best gear, just in case) but 2 of my friends have, but for unrelated reasons neither of them are playing their 360s much, and anyway both of them are avoiding the underdome until it's fixed, so i don' have any1 i can ask, and i wont be able to talk one of them off his ps2, and the other off his... hmm... dunno wut he's been up to...


w/e i'm aking this more complex than it needs to be, was this patched?Akbaroth 13:02, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
nvm, shortly after asking i managed to find the post about patches to borderlands on the gearbox forum, it said they fixed itAkbaroth 13:02, March 7, 2010 (UTC)


I have a glitch. In the third arena the one with the nice snipping point in the middle, Everytime I get to round 5, at the 4th wave, after I beat it, NOTHING HAPPENS!!!! The music keeps going like I have someone to fight.
But there's no one there. Unfortunatley, I can't kill myself either. If I could do that, I would just go back a level. I've done this twice now and I'm on my third attempt. Unfortunately, I've used the barrels to kill myself previously.
I'm pretty ticked off right now, not only because I lose all the XP and weapons BUT I also DONT FEEL LIKE DOING THIS AGAIN!!!!
My game is paused, let's see if any suggestions. ~phijip

Possible hints at future DLC

I was poking around in the audio files for the Mad Moxxie DLC and found something quite interesting. There are several audio files for introducing various maps other than the ones that are currently playable. I know that sometimes there are alternate tracks for things because the developers may not have decided on the name yet, however since the alternate tracks outnumber the files for the actual maps then this implied to me that they were left there intentionally and planned on them being used at some point. I was thinking that this could be hinting at future DLC that involves the underdome. So far i have found 10 intros for maps other than the playable ones with names such as "The Arena", "The Bandit Camp", "The Bunker of Blood", "The Crimson Halls", "The Decrepit Mine", "The Scrap Hole", "The Slaughter Caves", "The Bog", and lastly "Wonderland" (although this one could be a joke that got left in). Also there are boss intros that welcome "The Gearbox Crew". If anyone wants the audio files they are not that large and I could probably upload them, or at least the ones that mention the map names, however I have not done this yet because i wanted to make sure that I wouldn't be violating any copyright rules about uploading the tracks. If I cannot upload them then I can explain how to extract the files to anyone that is interested. F47413rr0r 13:02, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Bosses

Anyone else find it rather odd that bosslike such as Skagzilla aren't included?

I suppose skagzilla can't exactly use the New-U stations to respawn which then begs the question "why does 9-toes get his pets"?

Weapon Prize Glitch.

Hey, I'm new here so I apologize if I mess up this post somehow.

So I have experienced a glitch where when weapons drop as a prize after a round is completed, some get stuck in the air, or are possibly invisible thought you can see a treasure bag on the compass. For the one I saw, I had to go outside of the prize circle area and look around pretty hard, so these 'invisible' ones may be just me failing to see them them.

Anyway, I haven't seen anyone else mention it so check your compasses just in case. EarthboundD 05:38, March 29, 2010 (UTC) EarthboundD.


As an edit, I have encountered many more instances of weapons being stuck in the air, so it doesn't seem like a misperception or some crazy coincidence. EarthboundD 02:48, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

Heyooo!

I changed the Trivia about the crowd cheering "Heyooo!" from being about Pistols and Revolvers to just plain ol' Critical hit kills. I got the cheer several times while using my SMG and shotgun, but noted that I was scoring criticals. --Mensahero 06:24, May 9, 2010 (UTC)


Badassness

Does the +1 Badassness whenever you beat an arena challenge actually have any game effect? MikeD. 19:24, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

There seems to be a problem with the logo, it's not showing up on the page or on my userbox (which uses the same image).

This is strange as going straight to the page for the file works fine :s   Bukkithead Orsmsig   14:49, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

Eridian Weapons

Quick Question: Do Eridian weapons count as elemental for terms of elementals get more damage while others suffer? I never bring those with me, but might if they do. (129.186.253.77 15:24, September 18, 2010 (UTC))
