Samrat Sharma, Senior Online Producer for Guerrilla Games, has posted an in-depth look into an upcoming DLC release titled the 'Insurgent Pack' via Sony's US blog. This will be first batch of DLC which requires payment to access as opposed to the free downloadable maps on offer. Sharma describes the backstory as follows:
"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."
Releasing in April at a price of $9.99 / €9.99 (free to season pass owners), players will gain be able to get their hands on the following brand new features:
- 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
