‘Crackdown 2′ Add-on Announced

Posted on August 27th, 2010 By Under: Games Tags:


Details for the first add-on pack coming for Crackdown 2 have been released. So for those of you still hip-deep in Freak infestations and Cell controlled territories, or those who have taken a break and wish to come back, a whole slew of new features, achievements and game modes are on the way.

The new downloadable pack, called ”Toy Box”, will offer both free and priced content. So anyone who wishes to get in on the action can get several new added features without paying a dime. These include the following:

*Keys To The City: Made notorious in the first Crackdown expansion as the ultimate cheat mode, “Keys To The City” returns to Crackdown 2 and puts an even bigger set of tools at your disposal, including God Mode, Infinite Ammo, Fly Cam, spawning of weapons, gadgets and more, the ability to freeze the time of day, and pushing all skills to the maximum to become faster, stronger and more lethal.

*Level 6 Reward: Fans who reach Level 6 on all Agent skills will be rewarded with the new Thruster Ability. Thruster Ability is like having jetpacks for your boots, giving Agents built-in vertical propulsion to activate flying with the Wingsuit no matter where you are in the game.

*Vehicle Tag: Once you’re done taking down the Freaks and the Cell, join your friends for a thrilling new multiplayer mode where up to eight Agents can compete in these six arenas: Speed is the Quay, Industrial Action, Maim Street, Skid Row, Beachhead and The Sum of Human Knowledge.

And if all that doesn’t slake your thirst for over-the-top Crackdown 2 mayhem, you can slap down a measly 560 Microsoft Points to gain access to even more add-on goodness. The features you get for the extra dough are listed below.

*Two New Vehicles: Access two new vehicles. The wall climbing aquatic mini-tank called the Agency ATV and the Squad Chopper, which allows four players to jump in and man their own weapon, including the proximity mine launcher, precision rocket launcher, twin machine guns and nose machine gun.

*Five New Toys: Whether you’re soaring to greater heights or orchestrating a massive explosion, get creative with the following new toys: The Mass Driver (turreted gravity bending weapon), Portable Launch Pads (allows Agents to create their own launch pad jumps), Stickler Grenade (bouncing grenade that sets off smaller explosive charges as it bounces), Thrusters (allow vertical thrust), and Mags on Characters (allow Mag Grenades to be attached to characters).

*Two Avatar Awards: Deck your Agent out in the latest gear. “Toy Box” offers two Avatar Awards to customise your Xbox LIVE Avatar with the Xbox Green Suit (must complete the Rocketeer Achievement) and Green Helmet.

*10 New Achievements: Pacific City never sleeps and neither do the exploits. Industrious Agents will be rewarded with 10 new Achievements and 250 extra Gamerscore to be earned.

*Eight Agent Suit Colors: Pick up eight new shades of in-game armor for your Agent to leap around in.

While no official release date for the new add-on pack has been announced yet, they plan to have it available for download soon. So keep your eyes peeled and your guns loaded, Agents! There’ll be more to do in Pacific City before you know it.
