What’s that, you need a reason to boot up Borderlands 2 again? Well, here you go! As Claptrap said, starting Friday players can partake in an epic hunt to get rare loot and win up to $50,000! All that’s required is that you play the game as much as possible, have your console connected to the internet, and have a SHiFT account.
*UPDATE*
According to the Borderland Facebook Page there will be a delay in the contest:
