Quotes

...and time into supporting the game with an entirely new player character, Kreig the Psycho," said Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software. "Our fans now get the opportunity to step into the shoes of one of the most iconic characters in the Borderlands franchise as they slice their way through Pandora on the hunt for new loot!"
"Fans have been clamoring for Krieg since we first announced him at PAX East," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "The Psycho Pack adds even more replayability to the wildly popular Borderlands 2 experience that both casual and hardcore fans will love."
"You're going to look at encounters, skills and items differently," Hellquist said. "We've frankly never built a Borderlands character in this style at all, where you run in close, do a lot of damage, and don't care if you die. I'd call it a high risk, high reward play style."
