This is approximately the fifteenth piece of DLC for this game (the game is a mix of full-price game,plus micro-transactions and even more additional DLC that all add up to on of the most expensive games in history). Worse, people who already paid for the full game, plus another thirty dollars for future DLC have been told that that only covered "some" of the DLC, and faithful customers must pay more. The magic of borderlands 2 was its long, amazing and immersive campaign with fun villains and a fun plot. Only 1 Borderlands DLC (Tina Tina's Assault...) was worth the price, the rest are just cash-grabs. This one is terrible. Expand

    Mercenary Day is a very small but creative DLC with a great deal of eye candy. And although It doesn't offer something particularly fresh, it's a nice DLC to play after you have finished the main game. Worth your money ? Hmm.. on sale maybe.

    "Headhunter 3: Mercenary Day" DLC for "Borderlands 2" is a true holiday treat that brings festive cheer to the Pandora wasteland. As a fan of the main game, I was excited to dive into this seasonal adventure and see what Gearbox had in store for us.

    The DLC's theme revolves around the joyous occasion of Mercenary Day, and it beautifully captures the spirit of the holidays with its snowy landscapes, twinkling lights, and delightful decorations. The atmosphere is brimming with merriment, and it's a refreshing change of pace from the usual chaos and mayhem in the main game.

    In "Headhunter 3: Mercenary Day," you'll embark on a quest to bring tidings of joy and take down the Abominable Mister Tinder Snowflake – a jolly, yet formidable boss – in epic battle. The loot and rewards from defeating Tinder Snowflake are not just a delightful surprise, but they also serve as a wonderful gift to all vault hunters.

    What I loved most about this DLC is the sense of community it brings. Whether you play solo or with friends, the holiday spirit and cooperative gameplay foster a sense of camaraderie and shared excitement.

    While it may not be the most extensive DLC in terms of content, it successfully delivers an enjoyable and heartwarming holiday experience. It's a reminder of the charm and creativity that make the "Borderlands" series so endearing.

    In conclusion, "Headhunter 3: Mercenary Day" is a delightful addition to "Borderlands 2," bringing the joy of the holiday season to the game's post-apocalyptic world. The festive atmosphere, engaging quests, and the joy of battling the Abominable Mister Tinder Snowflake make it a memorable experience for players looking to spread some holiday cheer. So, if you're in the mood for a heartwarming and merry adventure, this DLC is a must-play, whether you're celebrating the holidays alone or with your fellow vault hunters.

    Mercenary Day is easily the most successful of Borderlands 2’s Headhunter Packs, thanks to how well it captures the wit and creativity of the series.
