We're here for the DLC.
DLC entitled, Ranger Pack will be heading to both the Xbox Live Marketplace and Steam on Tuesday August 3rd.
The Ranger Pack, packs a punch and comes along with new weapons, achievements and also the ‘Ranger Mode’ game rules. This mode sees the ammo dramatically reduced and all weapons inflict more damage onto your enemies. Your foes are deadlier than ever – but so are you.
If that’s not enough for you the ‘Ranger Hardcore’ mode adds an additional challenge by completely removing the HUD, adding to the immerse experience.
The two new weapons are – the Heavy Automatic Shotgun, and the Volt Driver. If that isn’t enough for you to pick up the new DLC, there is new achievements and gamerscore up for grabs.
All this for just 240MSP on XBLM and for free on Steam when it’s delivered via an auto-update through Steam.
