Assuming that you have the first Borderlands game and still have the save file lying in your hard drive, Gearbox is planning to give fans of the first game a nice treat.
According to Gearbox themselves, anyone who has a save file from the first game on their console’s hard drive will have it automatically detected when they play Borderlands 2. Once Borderlands 2 detects the file, the player will be given access to exclusive in-game heads & skins.
