More than six months after the previous episode of downloadable content was released for Borderlands, the fourth package of DLC has made its way into the Playstation Store, Xbox Live Arcade, and Steam. “Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution,” as this episode is known, adds a total of 21 new missions to the roster and grants players six new backpack slots and two additional skillpoints.
In this episode of DLC, players are faced with an army of rogue Claptraps.
