He is insanely powerful at the lowest levels, reasonable in the 20s and 30s and still useful at in endgame play (more useful than Axton’s turret, but less useful than the others). There’s a lot of geeky fanservice here, and not the kind that involves the male gaze.ĭeathtrap, the kill bot that Gaige can summon as her action skill, is cool, fun and effective, if a bit derpy at times.

A number of her skin names reference band names, and her skill names reference Community and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Her “aww, but I want ’em both” and “number number numbers, math math math” when examining loot are less annoying than Maya’s “they both have pros and cons…”, but this is a personal preference. Her shouts are vaguely meta, and convey an impressive amount of character. There are no ECHO logs of her in the game itself (they can be found on YouTube for free, but it would’ve been nice if they were in game somewhere). There are no bonus head or skins for those with special editions or for those with a Borderlands 1 save.

There’s exactly what you would expect at minimum, and nothing else. This is a fairly accurate summary of my opinion of the DLC: it’s excellent, but… Her voice actress is wonderful, although her screams when Gaige takes an elemental DOT are extremely unpleasant (this could just be my own aversion to the sound of young women screaming in pain, but others have the same complaint).

Her backstory, told via ECHO logs, is entertaining, although not available in-game. Her visual design is atypical of female videogame characters and very cool, although her default skin is undersaturated. Gaige is marketed as a class that both inexperienced and veteran players will enjoy.
