During my play session with the Borderlands pre-sequel i found some Moonstones, a rare currency that replaces the eridian that we know from Borderlands 2. Within the description of the Moonstones it says that you can buy buffs with it. So when i had a interview at Gamescom with Borderlands franchise director Matt Armstrong and Tony Lawrence, Head of 2K Aus, i asked them about these buffs. I soon learned that they are something like the buffs we have encountered with the Tiny Tina Assault on Dragon Keep DLC, temporarily stats buffs that help you on your quest.
Moxxtails the Booze Buffs
Recently i discovered how these new buffs are going to work, they are the booze that we can buy at Moxxi’s bar. You might have seen them in one of the Borderlands the Pre-Sequel Trailers standing on the counter. As you can see from the screenshot Moxxi is serving up 8 different kind of Moxxtails that you can drink each with a different kind of status increase. You will have to choose wisely because you can only have one boost active each time and they cost 10 Moonstones to drink up, and moonshine is a rare currency.
