Game files introduced with the recently released Mechromancer DLC have shed some light on one of Borderlands 2‘s upcoming DLC packs.

New locked achievements added to the game reference a new area called Oasis and a quest for hidden pirate’s booty. A description found in the PC version’s files also point towards a pirate based DLC, “Legends speak of Captain Blade’s Lost Treasure of the Sands. Of a prize so great, that men would turn the sands red in pursuit of it.”

“Of a pirate queen, courageous and deadly, who would stop at nothing to find it. Of a monstrous Leviathan. Of the Vault Hunters who journeyed to the desert town of Oasis, not knowing the horrors that would befall them.”

Fans digging around in the files have posted their findings on the Gearbox forums. Apparently the DLC will include a new head customization, a new rarity level called Seraph, new items, and additional bosses.
