Borderlands 2 GOTY co-op with original Borderlands 2 w/o DLCs

borderlands-2

I'm planning to buy the BL2 GOTY (Game of the Year) edition. Lets say I did that. My friend already owns the original BL2, but without any DLCs.

  1. Can we play co-op?
  2. If yes, can I play as Gaige or Psycho? (Which are characters not included in the original BL2)

Best Answer

Yes, you should be able to play cooperatively with your friend, bearing in mind that lacking the DLC, your friend probably can't join you in any DLC areas (Tiny Tina's, Mr. Torgue's, Sir Hammerlock's, Captain Scarlet).

However, any paid characters like Gaige or Psyco should not interfere - My friend has no issues connecting with me as I play mechromancer, while he owns neither, and I've played with plenty of Psyco's while having not purchased him.

I am, however, a little foggy on how some things might work out; like Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, with your DLC-lacking friend.

Additionally, your friend won't be able to use any DLC weapons that you may want to trade to him.
