Details: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned

I’ll keep this spoiler free as much as possible and stick to the important things. I played a few hours and have explored three of the available areas in the DLC.

• To access the DLC, you have to gain access to the Fast Travel feature, and then select ‘Jakob’s Cove’ from the Fast Travel menu.
• The missions and enemies begin at level 25 in the first Playthrough. During second playthrough, they start at level 42.
• No vehicles so far and no fast travel within Jakob’s cove, similar to Fyrestone.
• No increase in level cap (still max 50 for now)
• No more sand! The environments are all rich (sometimes dank) swamplands.
• The brain gathering quest is very irritating. Brains collected before you accept the quest do not apply, and there’s no way to fast travel once you’ve reached the quota, you just have to hoof it. Could have been alot more fun.

So far, I think the environments are really pretty, and the zombies angle while not a NEW idea is a refreshing contrast to the standard Borderlands gameplay. Try to play with a character appropriate to the level target (either 25 or 42). I started with a 35 and a 50 and I was trouncing everything, and the missions are all marked trivial so far.

[EDIT] It’s perfectly fine to start at 25, not 30. Expect to be level 30-31 when all the content is complete. Also added the part about the ‘Brains’ quest above.
