Gearbox, the creators of the Borderlands series, say the next campaign DLC—Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep—is the biggest piece of content for their sequel yet. More areas to wander, more guns to fire and, more importantly, more enemies to shred to pieces.
What do those enemies look like? Well, here they are. All of them. (Images and descriptions courtesy of Gearbox.)
