So... Borderlands 2 DLCs?

First I'd say play the game for awhile, and if you enjoy it to the point that you see yourself playing it for a fair bit of time, grab the UVHU packs. The level cap raise they provide is invaluable to extending play time, and the second upgrade comes with a new quest area, and new guns.

Personally I don't think the headhunter packs are worth it, but if you find Borderlands 2 is the greatest game you've ever played, you'd probably enjoy the extra hour or so of playtime that each of the headhunter packs grants.

The headhunter packs are like small updates, i played only the first one and i liked it, but it's probably just content for people who want to explore some new things, even if they aren't that large. Though one of the headhunters brings crawmerax or something alike, which was the big boss from borderlands 1... it's up to you to decide.

Headhunter DLCs offer more or less about an hour of gameplay with their own little story and as reward at the end you get an unique head skin(which is useless if you play solo).
Now I personally like 1,4,5 from HH DLCs but 2,3 also got a bit of charm. So if you think that this 5hours of gameplay will worth the 5keys go ahead and get them.

I buy the GOTY from GMG and i waiting for some disccount in the saga to grab VH pack 2 (first) and then go for the HH's, they say the best are the 4 and 5. The skins never mind not needed at all. Also if you have the Poker Night 2 you can unlock some extra skins when you beat the game.

I played BL2 including all DLCs local coop with buddies and each of the Headhunter DLCs keept us busy for about an evening if you play rather slow and have to wait a little for your partner to sell stuff. If after 500 h (or however long it takes you to do everything else beside the Headhunter DLCs) you still can´t get enough of the game GET THEM. They offer decent content even for the official (release) price.

Same goes for second LVL cap upgrade although you´ll probably just need it if you plan to replay the game on True Vault Hunter & Ultimate Vault Hunter (= New game +) otherwise you won´t hit the LVL cap.

The DLCs add some nice missions.
But i can't say if they are part of the DLCs you are talking about.
I bought Borderlands 2 and all the DLCs at the same time before beginning the game.

Check this out. if you're looking for the cheap DLC's. Price starting at 0.80$ / 0.64€.

I've played 230 hours of BL2, you don't need anything else besides the GOTY to be honest.

with GOTY pack u can earn all the achievement, so no more needed xd.

I have your same problem, thank you for creating this discussion :)

I also bought the GOTY and immediately added the headhunter packs and the 2nd UVHU pack cuz it's cheap at the moment (and might not be later should I decide I want them as well) and if I'm gonna get a game I want to play every possible mission available which includes these silly themed missions I'm afraid.
