Borderlands 2 Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty Walkthrough Part 1 – A Warm Welcome
Welcome to the first the DLC for Borderlands 2. This is accessed by hitting any fast travel station and going over to Oasis. Once there you will be contacted by an individual, Shade (who is now your new BFF), who wants to clear out the pirates who have taken over his town. Head on down the slope and go over to the first van on the right. You will find a loot chest sitting right there for you to grab. Do so then head on down to the town itself.
As you enter town you are introduced to the new enemy types: Rapscallion, Gunner, Consair, Pirate, Powder Money and Grogmaster. The Grogmaster is the toughest one as he likes to run up, throwing molotov cocktails and explode on you. Thankfully this pirate is not very durable so you can get through him with only a few shots. The Consair is the equivalent of a Psycho who comes running up to you. Pirates are your regular ranged attackers.
The Powder Monkey presents a different sort of explosive threat. He likes to lob grenades at mid range and shoot at you otherwise. The real damage comes from his death as he will explode. He has a powder keg on his back. This does give a quick kill option but be sure to be away from him when you do kill him.
When you get through that group their leader, No-Beard, will appear in the back of town and come charging in after you. He is the first “boss” and very easy to kill from a distance as he prefers to be closer. If you need to close the distance, be sure to keep some cover and use the action skill to get some help with him. Just plenty of movement (or getting on a roof and sniping) should be enough to cinch this fight for you.
When No-Beard is dead you can then head for Shade. He is found off to the East of the fountain in town. You can take some time to search the buildings. Most of them have chests on the roof for some handy supplies. There is also a Quick change station to the West of the Fountain. Just head over to the Kitty Kream and you will find Shade inside. He is as creepy as you think.
