Killzone: Shadow Fall – Insurgent Pack DLC Announced & Detailed
Yesterday the first free map pack DLC for Killzone Shadow Fall was released, that featured maps The Cruiser and The Hanger. In fact all PS4 owners that have an online connection can play the Killzone: Shadow Fall multiplayer for free all this week, regardless of whether you subscribe to PS+ or not.
To help get you in the mood for some free multiplayer, Sony has released some screenshots and a trailer for each of the free maps.
But that’s not all the news we have for you in regards to some Killzone: Shadow Fall DLC, as the first multiplayer DLC pack has been announced, called The Insurgence Pack. This DLC pack will add a brand new character class, new abilities, new weapons, a new singleplayer difficulty setting, online collectables to discover, new challenges, trophies and even a personalisation pack.
As you can see The Insurgence Pack is packed full of content and will be available this April for £9.99/ €9.99/$9.99, and of course it will be available to Killzone: Shadow Fall Season Pass (£15.99) holders for no extra cost.
Coming straight from the Playstation Blog, below are all the details that you need to know for The Insurgence DLC Pack:
The Helghast government has been secretly funding The Black Hand, the operatives of which have been infiltrating Vekta City. The VSA has also started a programme that sends saboteurs disguised as refugees to the Helghast side of the wall. These insurgents are playable for the first time in the brand new Insurgent Expansion, which includes:
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.
Three 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.
Three 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!
- L512 SMG Pistol – this amazing machine pistol makes your tactical secondary weapon of choice that much more punch
- Sta14 Rifle – The sniper rifle of many battles past adds to your long distance sniping arsenal.
New single player Elite Mode – The nightmarish difficulty of Elite Mode will test the hardest of warriors
- Three lives, Hard difficulty, and the Shadow Fall campaign to test your mettle.
New online collectibles mode – Find the online collectibles crates in game for rewards
- A limited set of collectible crates will spawn only for Insurgent Expansion holders, one per match for a limited time. Collect one and earn extra points in game, collect more and stand to win rewards in game.
New challenges and trophies
- All this content comes with its own set of Challenges and Trophies to unlock. Trophy details will be released soon.
