Can I play Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt without the 'Bee nerf' update?
I stopped playing Borderlands 2 on-line after downloading and installing Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage; last I played my game version was still pre-"bee nerf" patch. I haven't played on-line since then as I cannot get internet on my PS3 in my dorm room. As I have the Borderlands 2 Season Pass, can I download and install (and play) Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt without first updating to the newest patch?
I'm only interesting in the technical possibility, not whether or not I should install the "bee-patch".
It all depends what version DLC is in the PlayStation Store.
Download the DLC, and try to play. The PS3 should prompt you to update, if the store has an outdated version. If you get a prompt, cancel the prompt. You're playing without the update.
Of course, you won't be able to play online, as you'll need the latest update.
