Unlock the final chapter of the Headhunter saga with Sir Hammerlock vs. the Son of Crawmerax, the fifth and final Headhunter Pack DLC for the acclaimed shooter, action, and RPG hybrid Borderlands 2. Released on April 15, 2014, this downloadable content expands the chaotic world of Pandora with a dedicated island hub, new missions, and a unique boss encounter that tests the skills of any Vault Hunter.

Sir Hammerlock vs. the Son of Crawmerax: Story and Setting

The narrative unfolds on the tropical shores of Wam Bam Island, a newly accessible location featuring beaches, underwater tunnels, and savage villages. The story centers on an abandoned island resort where Sir Hammerlock, alongside Lilith, Brick, and Mordecai, is celebrating Fertility Day. However, the festivities are cut short when Sir Hammerlock is kidnapped by a fearsome foe.

Vault Hunters must track down the captor and face The Invincible Son of Crawmerax the Invincible to rescue the legendary beast master. This mission-driven experience requires players to navigate the island's diverse environments while dealing with pirates, savages, and hostile Varkids. The island also supports gameplay with a single Ammo Dump and a Zed's Meds vending machine, alongside a Quick Change location for gear management.

Missions and Secret Activities

This pack includes a primary story mission titled Victims Of Vault Hunters, which guides players through the island's threats. Beyond the main objective, the DLC introduces a secret activity involving Treasure Pods scattered across Wam Bam Island.

  • Treasure Syringe Mechanic: Players can acquire Treasure Syringes from a dispenser on the docks near the Retirement Cottages for 10 Eridium each. Injecting these pods spawns a unique type of Varkid that drops a decent amount of loot upon defeat.
  • Level Scaling: The area level is set upon first visit, ranging between levels 15 and 35 in Normal Mode, ensuring the content remains relevant for players of varying progression stages.
  • Rewards: Defeating the final boss unlocks a unique head and skin for the Son of Crawmerax, allowing Vault Hunters to customize their gameplay experience.

Platform Availability and Audience Appeal

This Headhunter Pack is available on PC and PlayStation 3, allowing a wide range of gamers to access the content. The expansion is designed for fans of the Borderlands franchise who enjoy fast-paced shooter mechanics, RPG character progression, and the series' signature humor.

Vault Hunters looking to complete the Headhunter series, obtain rare cosmetics, or tackle a challenging boss fight will find this expansion a worthwhile addition. The introduction of new characters, such as Talon, Mordecai's pet, adds flavor to the world without overshadowing the core action.
