I bought Humble Endless RPG Bundle few hours ago and decided to gift Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel to someone else. I'm from CIS region and when I gave him gift link, he saw the warning about key being region locked (and I, the buyer, received no warning about it). Now, my question is: If someone else from USA buys me a bundle and then gifts it to me, will it have region lock for CIS region? Or if I tell him to give me gift links separately, what will result be?
I want region free gift links/keys as the result, so what is my best option?

It was mentioned in the deals thread: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/ZDeh0/humble-bundle-the-humble-endless-rpg-lands-bundle
"BOTH Borderlands Games are locked to AM, AZ, BR, BY, GE, KG, KZ, MD, RU, TJ if bought on RU/CIS, It's locked to RU/CIS. ROW for the rest of the purchases! Example - You're from Europe, you get ROW, NA = ROW, Russian = RU/CIS Lock"

So if someone from USA will buy you the bundle it should be ROW.

If someone sends me the whole bundle, will I be able to make gift links from each of them individually? Or will I be able to get only keys from it?

Sorry, I don't know that, I never received full bundle as a gift. Maybe someone else will help with that question.

Humble Bundle (from my experience) never give one link for all the bundle. HB generaly give you separate key/links for each game and/or DLC. If someone send you the bundle (part or whole), you should get a page with each game separatly. You'll have to claim the page to be yours.

Never sent a whole bundle but it should be like this.

It won't look any different from bundles you bought yourself. Only its price will be listed as "Gift" in your purchases and that's all.

That means I will be able to make gift links out of them, right?

i am from Europe, you get 2 versions of borderlands 2, ru/cis and ROW, just depending in what country you live, some Europe countries like Latvia, Lithuania gets also ru/cis versions.

I just learned that. Before creating a giveaway, click on the create gift link thingie to make sure. Had to delete a Borderlands giveaway because of that (luckily I realized this before it ended) and had to create a region-restricted one.
