The new Vault Hunter for Borderlands 2 teased at SXSW has been revealed at PAX East. Krieg the Psycho will be the game's sixth playable class, and you can see a quick teaser of what he looks and plays like the video above. He's primarily a melee character, but has a few ranged abilities, and can skill up in the combat bonus-centered Bloodlust tree, go insane with the Mania tree, or break out fire-based attacks with the Hellborn tree. Krieg is part of the Psycho Pack, which will be available in May for $9.99, or 800 Microsoft points.

Borderlands 2 is also getting the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade pack on April 2, which will finally raise the game's level cap from 50 up to 61. Unlike the Psycho Pack, this pack will be part of the game's Season Pass content, and will also unlock a third playthrough in the "Ultimate Vault Hunter mode." It'll be available on April 2, for $5.00 (or 400 Microsoft points). And finally, Gearbox teased the game's last piece of campaign DLC at its panel, which it simply announced was due out sometime in June.
