Now I have a machine gun. Ho, ho, ho.

Like the preceding Thanksgiving story, the Christmas tale How Marcus Saved Mercenary Day is a short and sweet tidbit of Borderlands 2 content.

The snowy holiday-themed environment is charming, if small. To its credit, unlike Bloody Harvest it isn't so large and empty that it feels painful to run through.

But, it also just isn't as interesting as Mr. Torgue's explosive feast. Marcus is an amusing character, but he doesn't drive this plot. It's more driven by an evil, Grinch-like snowman. Who you then kill.

And like the other Headhunter packs, it's shockingly short, like 30-60 minutes including both its main quest and a single sidequest.

Better than: Borderlands 2: T.K. Baha's Bloody Harvest
Not as good as: Borderlands 2: The Horrible Hunger of the Ravenous Wattle Gobbler
As a reminder: these packs released at $2.99, which feels like a stretch for less than an hour of content.
