Developers are going to have to pay more attention to patch details. Several games have had their DLC outed because of people reading through code, and we now have one more to add to the list... Borderlands. So, Borderlands has a new DLC add-on coming. No idea on the name yet, but Legendrew and various other forum goers at the Gearbox forums have managed to dig up quite a few details about the upcoming add-on. It will contain 21 new missions (9 story and 12 side missions), 10 new locations and a heap of returning characters, plus a new one, labelled as "Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap"... Yes, i can hear you laughing... No, I'm not kidding... Yes, it is awesome. I'll throw the story into a spoiler section below so if you want to skip over it you can, but if you're interested to know whats gonna happen... well:

Hyperion creates the Ninja Claptrap to prevent vault hunters from stealing all the loot, however the Ninja Claptrap starts a revolution, freeing his clatrap brethren and rising up against their creators. Hyperion then tasks the vault hunters with bringing down the claptraps, who have now taken it upon themselves to reanimate dead bodies (adding an extra part or two along the way). This means the return of some characters including Dr. Ned, General Knoxx and Commandant Steele.
While this is obviously all still unverified, Gearbox employees have been happy to respond in tweets letting us know how they feel about it. CEO of Gearbox, Randy Pitchford, had this to say, "OMG! You're in our files, stealing our secrets! Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Clap Trap will KEEL you!" and Mikey Neumann, Creative Director for Borderlands, left this, "P.S. Legendrew, if I ever meet you-- I'm punching you in the face. Sure, we'll laugh after, but I'm fucking punching you first."
