The level cap blues might not set in for the frag-masters of Rapture. 2K Games is set to bump up the volume of BioShock 2’s MP component with “Sinclair Solutions Test Pack,” the first substantial piece of DLC to hit the game. It adds, in brief, new weapon upgrades, new masks, new rewards, new characters and additional ranks.
Announced this afternoon, the pack will hit Xbox LIVE and Games for Windows LIVE at a 400 Microsoft price point. On PSN, it will cost the equivalent in real money: 5 bucks.
No release date for “Sinclair Solutions Test Pack” was announced. Below the fold, you’ll be able to get the full listing of additions, and read a little bit about the latest tease for single-player content, slated to hit “in the coming months.”
The Additions:
• Rank Increase to level 50 with Rank Rewards
• New playable characters Louie McGraff and Oscar Calraca
• 20 new trials*
• A third weapon upgrade for each weapon
• Five additional masks*
*Some items are only available after a player achieves a rank of 41 or higher.
We’d usually get a little sore about the DLC not having a date, but we’ll take some SP DLC teasery in its place just about every other day. (One can only have so much teasery.) According to the official PR blast, SP DLC will “provide new insight into the world of Rapture,” and will include narrative, “new tools” and “new challenges.” Groovy!
