Guerrilla Games’ first paid DLC, titled the “Insurgent Pack”, has been released for it’s next-gen shooter Killzone Shadow Fall . It initially went live on Tuesday, April 1 in the US and is now live in the UK today, Wednesday, April 2, for €9.99 / $9.99 respectively.
As reported by CVG , this DLC introduces a significant amount of new content to Killzone Shadow Fall , including a new character class, three new weapons, three new abilities, a new difficulty mode for the singleplayer campaign, a new skin pack and more.
The official inventory of the Insurgent Pack’s new content has been listed below.
The Insurgent – a brand new class with two unique abilities: Hack and Steal.
The insurgent starts with just a pistol and his wits about him. As vulnerable as he is, he can slowly build up his arsenal in the game by using [Steal] to steal weapons and abilities from downed enemies, which enables him to use those weapons throughout the game, even if he falls in combat. By Using [Hack] he can change enemy ground automata into friendlies, turning the tide of battle quite swiftly.
3 New Abilities – The Scout, Support and Assault also get additional abilities
E-Pulse emitter – a deployable beacon that sends out an e-pulse making it difficult for enemy units to install automata in that area
Tactical Echo emitter – a deployable beacon that send out a Tactical Echo from a fixed location making the area hard to infiltrate by hidden enemy units
Guard Drone – The Assault gets a stationary Buddy drone; deploy it in one place and it guards the location from a ground level.
3 New Weapons – Welcome old friends and new with this pack of weapons for the Scout, Assault and Support:
M82 – the classic assault rifle of choice from Killzone 2 and 3 is back!
