Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep

Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep is the fourth campaign DLC of Borderlands 2. It was released on June 25th, 2013.

New Content

The DLC includes redesigned vending machines with a more fantasy-oriented aesthetic, reskins of existing characters featuring renaissance-themed garb (Ellie and Moxxi, in particular), and new dialogue for the Vault Hunters. Each character will respond to Tina's narration in their own way. Mr. Torgue also returns.

Taking place after the event of Roland's death, Tina and the first group of Vault Hunters were playing a game of Bunkers and Badasses. The new Vault Hunters are the characters within the campaign with Tina being their game master.

Tina changes the world in dynamic ways as the story progresses, such as changing the appearance of locations and adding characters and bosses. The journey to Dragon's Keep also has her coming to terms with Roland's death.

The DLC features new uses for Eridium: altars that gives bonuses when Eridium is spent, Tiny Tina themed slot and vending machines that use Eridium, and a new type of 'Dice Chest.' Dice Chests will appear with two twenty-sided dice (D20s) on top. Opening the chest normally rolls one D20, and the amount shown on the roll will determine the rarity of the loot inside the chest. Spending 5 Eridium rolls both D20s, and the higher amount will be taken to determine loot rarity. Also, you can feed the Queen 5 Eridium, and she will give, in a very comical way, a gun, health vial, or money.

Trivia

• This DLC was originally teased at Pax East 2013, but wasn't confirmed until it was accidentally leaked by Anthony Burch who took a picture of a passed out friend with the poster showing in the background. It has since been confirmed officially and given a release date.
• This DLC has a large number of easter eggs, such as items, locations and challenges, relating to other famous fantasy games/films such as Dark Souls and The Lord of the Rings, as well as The Elder Scrolls.
• The original idea for the DLC was to have the Vault Hunters venturing through a Hyperion facility, where the Facility's director could manipulate everything and turned it into a big game of Dungeons and Dragons. The concept was changed as the creators felt that having Tiny Tina run the game would give them more freedom to be creative and spontaneous.
• Most elements in Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep have counterparts in the main story line. E.g. Handsome Sorcerer is based on Handsome Jack, the counterparts of Armoured Knights serving the Handsome Sorcerer are the Loaders in the main story line, and so on. Even the plot of this DLC is a fantasy version of the main story line, with similar twists and turns.
