'Borderlands 2' Gear Up Event extended to Thursday

Following issues with the Compatibility Pack, Gearbox Software announced Tuesday that it has extended the Gear Up Event for "Borderlands 2" to Thursday morning. This extension is good for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Vault Hunters will now be able to hunt for the most desireable of loot in The "Borderlands 2" Gear Up Event until Thursday morning at 11:55 a.m. EST.

The event was supposed to end Monday but issues with the Compatibility Pack for "Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt" prevented many players on the Xbox 360 from getting online. This extension gives players plenty of time to complete the following from Gearbox.

The final day of festivities is upon us, as Pandora grows more dangerous (but also more rewarding) for those adventuring online with two or more players in True Vault Hunter Mode* -- should the varkids infesting Tundra Express, Caustic Caverns or Natural Selection Annex survive long enough to enter the pod state multiple times, they stand a far greater chance of morphing into the fearsome Vermivorous the Invincible. However, those that emerge victorious in their struggles against Vermivorous the Invincible also face greater rewards as the legendary Norfleet weapon is far more likely to appear upon his defeat.
