Borderlands: Threading the Needle…
At this point, many of you have tasted a bit more of Borderlands‘ third DLC, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx.
As you’ve been sampling the new vehicle types, you may have been wondering: What is the deal with the Racer?
Sure, it’s fast (in general), but its turbo boost is too short-lived, its armor is abysmal, and its rocket launcher doesn’t track.
So why is Mad(ame) Moxxi so hot-to-trot about it, for the mission to rescue Athena?
Yep, you guessed it!
It’s a plot device that involves driving a Racer, and timing the use of its booster at an opportune moment, to get into the prison where Athena is being held. And the challenge is actually a two-parter! So don’t use the Racer just once, and then discard it in favor of a Monster or a Lancer vehicle…
And, when you’re dealing with the first challenge, note how it really does resemble threading a needle.
