Borderlands 2 Box Art & Special Editions Revealed

Borderlands 2 Box Art & Special Editions Revealed

Start grinding some real life loot now!

Written by osubluejacket on 17 May 12 at 12:57

Back in April, Borderlands 2 developer Gearbox teased us with a bit of info about the upcoming game's special editions. Many gamers salivated (amongst other involuntary bodily responses) at the thought of getting a genuine loot box and a Marcus Kincaid bobblehead. Today, Gearbox did the full disclosure on the loot gamers can grab in each of the special editions as well as the box art for their highly-anticipated sequel.

Special Edition 1


The "Deluxe Vault Hunter's Collectors Edition" will include the aforementioned Marcus Kincaid bobble head, hardbound art book, map of Pandora, comic book download and a four sticker set.

Special Edition 2


The "Ultimate Loot Chest Limited Edition" includes everything from the "Deluxe Vault Hunter's Collectors Edition" as well as an exclusive SteelBook case, numbered certificate of authenticity, creatures of Pandora wide format ID chart and four lithograph postcards. All of that wub wub goodness comes packed in that sweet loot chest that you're all a little too excited about.

Special Edition 3


The "Deluxe Vault Hunter's Collectors Edition" is set to retail at $99.99 while the "Ultimate Loot Chest Limited Edition" will run you $149.99, so you best start grinding some real life loot before Borderlands 2 drops on September 18th in North America and September 21st internationally.

That's pretty cool but I'll wait when retailers slash the price to $60 after a couple of months.
Please, no more online co-op achievements.

This one, not as much, but it does remind me of the other one…

I like how the way his glove is on his right hand, he is basically giving you the finger.

The Loot chest itself looks really cool - not worth all that money though.

I'm not the only one who thought that the box-art was a clever idea, right? :P

OT: I'm definitely going to grind my real-life loot all for the ID book, the bobble-head, the map of Pandora, and the Vault book. This game is going to rock! :D

As cool as the swag is, I'd rather buy two standard edition games rather than spend so much on a collector's ed.

Do people still cream themselves over stuff like art books, stickers and postcards anymore? The bobblehead is kinda cool, but the rest sounds like a bunch of useless crap. Standard edition will suit me just fine.

I want the Ultimate Loot Chest Edition, but at $150... I think I'm going to stick with the Deluxe Vault Hunter version. Still cool, the only thing I want more than anything else is the Steelbook, and unfortunately that's more than I'm willing to pay right now. Like the cover art too, I like that it's basically the original cover, twice.
