Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel ‘Lady Hammerlock Pack’ arrives tomorrow

New downloadable content for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel will let you play as a brand new character: Sir Hammerlock's terrifying older sister Lady Aurelia the Baroness.

Aurelia is the heir of the Hammerlock family fortune, but when she's not riding her hoverbike through the endless hallways of her orbital turbomansion, she's out hunting the latest and greatest game in the galaxy. If these expeditions should put her in conflict with her younger brother Alistair – aka Sir Hammerlock – all the better. The only thing more fun than shooting a rare animal Alistair intended to study is the look of abject horror and surprise on his face once Aurelia wears its carcass like a jaunty scarf.

Normally, Lady Hammerlock would never be seen within a light year of Pandora, but she's grown bored as her turbomansion grows cold, while her lust for violence grows hot. She's headed to Elpis with nothing more than an expensive gun, an experimental Cryo diadem, and a powerful belief that shooting angry things in the face is a good deal of fun.

Like other playable characters in Borderlands, Aurelia has an action skill and three different skill trees. Her action skill, Cold As Ice, lets her throw out a Frost Diadem Shard that seeks out enemies and attaches to them, dealing constant damage. If the target dies, the shard moves onto a new enemy, and so on.

As for her skill trees, the three are: Huntress, Cold Money, and Contractual Aristocracy. The Huntress skill tree focuses on sniping. Cold Money focuses on ice damage and includes a skill that can add Cryo damage to any gun. Her third skill tree, Contractual Aristocracy, allows her to turn a co-op teammate into a servant, earning her bonuses for their kills in addition to her own.

Lady Aurelia will be available to play tomorrow, January 27th, part of the "Lady Hammerlock Pack" on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. It's priced at $9.99 individually, or can be had as part of The Pre-Sequel Season Pass ($29.99) which grants access to all four add-on packs when they become available.
