Just Cause 2 has only just landed, but from the buzz around my Twitter I have discerned that it is indeed both fun and exciting. What makes things more fun and exciting? DLC of course! And according to an email Microsoft sent out yesterday we'll be getting more fun and excitment in DLC form on April 7.
The email listed things that we can expect from Xbox Live over the next few weeks and confirmed the not officially confirmed DLC as coming out. The DLC is called the 'Chevalier Ice Breaker,' and is described as a pimped out ice cream van by some text that was dug up in the PC demo of the game and revealed reported DLC (check it below).
No price point yet or official official confirmation, but we'd hazard a guess that this is going to happen. As our source notes this probably means that the PS3 will get the content on April 8. Whose up for big pimping in an ice cream truck?
Just Cause 2 DLC Coming April 7th Says Microsoft [PS3Trophies]
The full list that was taken from the PC demo of rumoured DLC items that are planned for the game are as follows (it also includes the pre-order items):
Pimped Rides Pre-order Pack
Bring on the chaos in Panau with a pimped up Ice Cream Van. Featuring a sturdy front ram, side skirts and greater top speed, you have the perfect tool for causing some serious fender-benders. Its extreme makeover also include a jingle to match. And if you’re in the mood for something even more destructive, why not try out a true weapon of mass destruction in the new and improved Tuk-Tuk. No longer the runt of the litter, this particular Tuk-Tuk houses a ridiculously oversized mounted weapon on the roof. Just the thing you need to wreak havoc in paradise!
Wild Rides DLC Pack
Unleash your inner beast with two truly powerful new vehicles. Get your kicks on the routes of Panau with this beautiful Chevalier Sauvage -69. Once this muscle car kicks into high gear, it will take a swarm of Panau's finest to put it to a halt. And if you are looking for a bit more bang for your buck, try out the new F-33 Dragonfly fighter jet. With quad-mounted miniguns and double missile launchers, this agile bird is the definite ruler of the skies, and packs a serious punch to land based targets as well.
Multi-Rocket Launcher DLC Weapon
Become the master of destruction with this fine addition to the Just Cause 2 arsenal. As the name implies, the Multi-Rocket Launcher is capable of firing a spread of rockets on your target, making it the most destructive weapon in Panau.
Signature Guns DLC Weapon
Get ready to truly fill Rico Rodriguez's shoes with the return of his classic signature guns, as seen in the original Just Cause. Don't miss this opportunity to hone your chaos-causing skills, using Rico's favourite tools of the trade.
Bull's Eye Assault Rifle
More powerful than the standard assault rifle, this lightweight and lethal automatic rifle features increased accuracy and a higher magnification scope.
Air Propulsion Gun
Courtesy of the Agency Propulsion Labs, this gun was originally designed as a jet engine but was soon repurposed for the weapons division where the Air Propulsion Gun was born.
Cluster Bomb Launcher
A natural progression of the grenade launcher, the Cluster Bomb Launcher is a small-scale weapon of mass destruction for personal use.
Rico's Signature Gun
Customised by the Agency and adapted for Rico’s shooting style, this deadly accurate and powerful pistol packs a punch with precision, power and flair.
Quad Rocket Launcher
Combine a rocket launcher with a shotgun and you've got yourself the powerful Quad Rocket Launcher - expect some collateral damage!
Multi-lock Missile Launcher
This highly sophisticated weapon of destruction allows you to lock up to four targets and unleash a barrage of homing missiles to take care of all your troubles.
Tuk Tuk Boom Boom
Try out a true weapon of mass destruction in the new and improved Tuk Tuk. No longer the runt of the litter, this particular Tuk Tuk features a ridiculously oversized mounted weapon on the roof. Just the thing you need to wreak havoc in paradise!
Chevalier Ice Breaker
Bring on the chaos in Panau with a pimped-up Ice Cream Van. Featuring a sturdy front ram, side skirts and greater top speed, you have the perfect tool for causing some serious fender-benders. This extreme makeover also includes a jingle to match.

Steered by a thrust-based engine for smooth and agile movement, the vehicle is as comfortable on land as off. Equipped with a turret-mounted autocannon, you’re guaranteed to blow your opposition out of the water.

The usefulness of an oversized monster truck when destabilizing small countries is clearly evident.

I want that and the parachute thrusters. Physics based violence FTW
Stunt jumping has killed me a many times
I'll totally buy whatever DLC they put out.
More interestingisdiobs requiring you to use the tools available would be cool. Even better would be more sandbox type tools (like the incredible hook-chute combo) that allow you do new interesting things
The ads make it look like just another title, nothing special.
Which makes me shed a single tear for gamers who skip out on it. Sure, the story itself is average, but if you like open world games and being able to get creative in your kills and go ANYWHERE (no invisible walls with closed bridges or any nonsense) and great controls and some of the best graphics for a game this size....this is one of the best, if not the best, open world games I've ever owned (and I play nearly all of them).
And no, I don't work for them. I just sound like it because I'm so impressed with it.
Bring on the DLC. I sure wouldn't say no to some parachute thrusters.
I was more posting to say to anyone on the fence, get this game. At least as a rent. I can't imagine how anyone into gaming won't have a blast.
