Without warning though certainly anticipated, Microsoft Game Studios has announced free and premium ‘Crackdown’ downloadable content will be available today in the Xbox Live Marketplace.
The free update will give agents access to “improved mission time trials, an option to repopulate gangs and kingpins after they have beaten the game, a vehicle impound garage, and the long-awaited Keys to the City ” a comprehensive cheat mode including new “super agent” abilities and the option to create ramps, vehicles and explosives anywhere in Pacific City, at any point in the game.” This update will also include 7 new Achievements.
For 800 Microsoft Points, the premium package will include all of the above plus, “three unique vehicles, four new devastating weapons, co-op game types, an Agent cloaking device and an added dynamic street-racing mode.” Any player who has not purchased the premium content but joins a co-op game with someone who has will be able to preview the content for the duration of that game.
The new vehicles include the Agency Buggy with a rotating turret chain gun, the Agency Armored Vehicle with an independently aiming rocket turret, and the Agency Racecar primed for high speed maneuvers.
New weapons include the flocking rocket launcher (the MSK Lobber), MZ360 Mini-Gun, proximity mines and the HRX Harpoon gun that nails criminals to nearby cars and walls.
