First thing, it is hard. You can go in with a lvl 50 character and a solid collection of firepower, and still have a hard time beating some of the enemies they introduced. I was relieved to note that once you start gaining some levels and get to use the lvl 50+ guns you can find, enemies do become more manageable. The challenge, however remains.
Three new vehicles get introduced with the DLC, the Monster, the Racer, and the Lancer APC. The first two get introduced as you progress in the story, the Lancer is received as a sidequest. Using the standard runner from the main game..
The monster is slower, but more durable. One thing with all the new vehicles you can't choose between weapons, they all come with built in guns. The Monster and Racer have missle launchers. they are homing missles though.
The Racer is much faster than the runner, although it cannot take a lot of punishment. My advice is avoid fighting in it if at all possible. With it's speed it's easy to escape whatevers attacking you. It's boost is more powerful, but ends quickly.
The Lancer APC is a very powerful vehicle, and a welcome addition to the game. It seats 4, and every seat has a function. The driver controls a machinegun turret. The gunner fires a powerful energy weapon. another seat controls a minelayer, and finally theres a concussion weapon that knocks away any enemy vehicles that get too close. Its slow, but very sturdy, with a decent boost.
If i have to complain about something, I wish there was a fast travel system in the dlc. If you quit the game and come back, you start out in t-bone junction, the starting city and have to make your way back to where you left off. This can involve a lot of enemy encounters it'd be great to skip. then again, you realy need the xp.
