I believe it's "Free" to people who have purchased the Season's Pass. I'm not sure about people that bought packs individually.

level cap is free. new character is $5.
The level cap raise is free to anyone who has the season pass. If you don't, it's $5.
The new vault hunter is NOT included with the season pass and is $10 to everyone.
The third play through is free for everyone, however.

Wait. So....this level cap raise is considered part of the season pass making it the 4th DLC? So season pass holders are done? That's not what I'd expected. A level raise without any new substantial DLC seems a really bad way to end the season pass.
i'm 99% sure that the 4th DLC campaign is included in the season pass
In the free TU (UTVHM) there will be more changes, including:
"There will be inventory/backup/storage increases in the update (Free update). More ammo SDU's will be available in the black market along with eridium maximums increased."

1) That just gave me a chubby.
2) So much for "We cant increase storage/level cap - it would break the game!!"
There is another story based DLC coming out in June that will conclude the season pass. It supposedly will be done by Gearbox themselves and be the biggest one yet.
If it's done by Gearbox, any size DLC will be their biggest one yet, sadly.
yea they need to stop outsourcing and trying to make games other than Borderlands. Just stick to what they are good at. I could see a Borderlands MMO be pretty successful on the PS4 and other next gen consoles.
Destiny.
I have my eye on it, but not a fan of Halo.
Ahh, that's pretty good news, thanks! I would be pissed if the 4th DLC was just the lvl cap increase.
Fuck yes.
Awesome. Lol yea I guess they were saving the expansions for this mode. More free stuff is always good since I'm not use to spending money on this stuff lol.
Looks very promising
This is funny because I believe D&D was part of the design process for Borderlands.

To be fair, a level cap change where you get more points to spend on your character could arguably "break" the game. The 3rd difficulty is likely to counter the fact that you get an additional 11 points to spend - allowing you to hit the top (bottom) of two trees.
Inventory size is a little disappointing in its current state, though, 100%. Glad it's going up. The shared bank is almost insulting

It will break the game in the way you can build some characters. I will have a Siren that can converge, res, AND ruin. She will be a beast and a half. Same with Zero, I can make a build that will give him almost infinite deception.
I already have a Siren that can converge AND ruin at lvl 50 bro.
edit: Oh wait you said res too my bad. I would actually prefer converge, ruin, quicken and sub-sequence. Solo players will tear everything a new asshole with this. I can't wait to play with my soldier who will have 2 turrents both with 2 slag guns while it also fires rockets.

Dam, I haven't been this excited about a game in a long time, and this is just DLC 8)
One more question the other day I died literally seconds before the boss was killed, would I still get EXP points while in 2nd wind?
Does it give you friendly-fire on allies or does it enable friendly-fire on yourself from teammates? If it's the latter, I hope there's some icon/symbol to indicate Krieg has FF enabled. Thinking about it, in single-player there's no downside to using that skill.
Ah okay, thanks for clearing that up guys.

Krieg and Gaige on anarchy would make for the best pair.
Just to confirm, you do get a skill point for each level in the update.

I'm curious how much a grind each level will be. I'd bet that they're time intensive With the 'final' 2-3 levels being SERIOUS time sinks.
UPDATE: http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/comm...orderlands-2-level-increase-and-other-changes
No shared storage size increase by the sound of it :\ Oh well.

I think the grind will be consistent with the difference between normal and TVHM mode.
eg:
Normal - level 0 to 30 (30 total)
TVHM - level 30 to 50 (20 total)
UTVHM - level 50 to 61 (11 total)

So you figure the playthrough will take you to level 61 (more or less) by just playing through it? I guess that makes sense, too.
Just what I wanted to hear. Awesome news.
Biggest news about this update, IMO. Now I can feel like I'm doing something when farming.
Also, anyone know what the GDC SHiFT codes were for? I put it in and didn't see anything new. Apparently it was for a gun, but I sold everything I had because they were greens.
GDC Codes:
PC: KBWJJ-WTXB9-C59J6-WFBTJ-TK6BJ
PS3: C35BB-SJFJS-WCZTR-KR3T3-BWZBW
360: KTWBB-XBRT9-WWZ3R-WXTT3-S3SX9
They have been quiet about possibly having a season 2 for BL2. The 4th dlc is taking a long time compared to the first 3. They were releasing at a rate of every month, but the last one is going to be 5 or 6 months of waiting.
I wonder if they have decided to abandon any more dlc outside of the 4 that was planned. From a business stand point releasing a full game sooner is probably the best option, but designing a game for the next gen consoles with a new engine is going to take a long time and a lot of money.

Among the level cap increase and various other changes coming to Borderlands 2 on April 2, 2013 is a new playthrough -- Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode -- built for challenging high-level play.
Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode differs quite a bit from Normal Mode and True Vault Hunter Mode -- here's a quick rundown of the major changes:
Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode Details
-Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode is unlocked for a character once they have completed the main story missions in True Vault Hunter Mode and reached level 50.
-Unlike other playthroughs, Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode can be replayed multiple times with players able to reset their overall mission progress at any time from the Main Menu.
-No more tutorial missions -- characters in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode begin in Southern Shelf with the "Cleaning Up the Berg" mission.
-While playing in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, enemies and bosses will scale according to the player's current level or, if playing with others, the highest-level player in that party.
-Gameplay changes in UVHM:
-Enemy health generally increased 4x.
-Enemies now have a moderate amount of health regeneration.
-Increased duration of slag damage multiplier effect.
-Upped the damage that slagged enemies take from 2x to 3x.
-Weapon swap speed increased to better facilitate slag use.
-Enemies now more likely to drop ammo.
-Loot Midgets are now "Legendary Loot Midgets" that can drop Legendary and other top-tier gear.
Check back Monday for details on the various bug fixes in Tuesday's update, and don't forget there's more to come for Borderlands 2: Krieg the Psycho, a new playable character, arrives in May with the fourth campaign add-on (included in the Season Pass) hitting by the end of June!

Dat Slag buff.
oh god, i can't wait to break out my 3x Slowhand slagger.

I don't think I have any slag items other than a couple grenades, the Slagga and a Slag Norfleet.
But none of our existing items will even be worth equipping when we all hit level 53+, so I guess it doesn't matter. But Slag will definitely be the new hotness...which is good because it's been completely irrelevant to date unless you're running Gunzerker and can have another weapon in the other hand.

Wow, UVHM actually sounds pretty awesome. I don't have the season pass, but I guess $5 for that much gameplay time isn't a bad deal.
UVHM is free.
