The first set of Brink DLC has been detailed on Bethesda’s official blog.
The DLC, titled ‘Agents of Change’, will be released in June and includes the following goodies:
NEW MAPS
- Founders’ Tower: The revolution finally reaches the island’s iconic spire and takes the battle for the Ark to dizzying heights.
- Labs: Venture into the depths of the Ark’s original research and development laboratories, a submerged high-tech facility so far untouched by the civil war.
NEW PLAYER ABILITIES
- UAV: This stealthy and lethal device allows Operatives to automatically mark nearby enemies on their radar. For more explosive fun, they can even take direct control of the UAV and detonate it near unsuspecting foes.
- Napalm Grenade: Soldiers can use this new grenade to cover an area in a sea of deadly flames.
- Pyro Mine: Engineers can plant these mines and leave enemies in the epicenter of a massive napalm explosion.
- Field Regen Unit: Medics can deploy these units to increase the health regeneration of any nearby teammates.
- Tactical Scanner: This universal ability allows players to reveal the active buffs of their opponents, allowing them to pick off enemies more strategically.
NEW WEAPON ATTACHMENTS
- Bayonets: Gain the edge in melee combat and cause extra damage with these deadly blades.
- Weapon Shields: Take cover from enemy fire and prevent headshot bonus damage behind riot-style shields.
NEW CHARACTER OUTFITS
- The Sad Punk: Add a touch of Steampunk to your Resistance character.
- The Limey: Bring order to the Ark with this outfit inspired by traditional European police.
Also being prepped for launch is Brink’s detailed stat portal which will offer data on matches, players and the community via the weekly ‘Battle for the Ark’ event.
Unfortunately Splash Damage’s latest team-based online shooter wasn’t quite as good as we wanted it to be when it was reviewed in this month’s PCGZine, however with more updates like this fans should be happy that this new IP is moving in the right direction.
