So me and my friend both got Borderlands 2. The problem is that he bought it with all the dlc and i bought it without any. If i use family sharing will i be able to use the dlcs on my account as well?

Who owns and can access the DLC and in-game content associated with a shared title?

A guest will have access to the lender's DLC, but only if the guest doesn't also own the base game. Guests may not purchase DLC for a base game they don't own. Any player may purchase, trade, earn, or otherwise acquire in-game content while playing a game, but in-game items cannot be shared between accounts. These items remain the property of the account that purchased or acquired them, whether borrowing or lending the base game.

First sentence = No for you, sorry.

No. The DLCs are part of the share. Since you own Borderlands 2, it will not be shared to your account by him, therefore, the DLCs will not be shared either.

This. If you own a copy already, then you only have access to the DLC you own. DLC on it's own can not be family shared.
