Do I need internet access to activate the five Headhunter and Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 for Borderlands 2?

As someone who has very little access to Internet, I rely heavily on Director's Cuts, Collector's Editions, and Game of the Year Editions when buying games to get the most out of the game (in this instance, Borderlands 2: Game of the Year Edition).

However, I am missing the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 DLC as well as the five Headhunter DLC packs. Do I have to go online to acquire these, or can I buy them at somewhere like GameStop and install them on my system without having to go online?

Solution 1:

The Headhunter Packs and the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 were released after the Game of the Year Edition and no subsequent PC, Xbox 360, or PS3 retail versions were produced that would have included them on disc.

The Borderlands Handsome Collection, only available for Xbox One and PS4, includes both Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, as well as all DLC produced for each game prior to March 24, 2015. This is currently the only way to get those content packs at retail.
