EDF: Insect Armageddon doing retailer-exclusive DLC

Yikes. Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon has a couple of rewards to go along with pre-orders, and they’re bumming me out a little.

GameStop is giving out the “Pounds of Pain!” pack, which contains 15 exclusive weapons; Best Buy has the “Death from Above!” pack, also with 15 weapons. You can read more about the individual items below, if you’re thinking of reserving.

Presumably, these weapons will only be truly worthwhile initially when your stockpile is so low. At least, that’s my hope. How crappy would it be if some of the top-tier guns were in these packs? At least there’s this Survival mode trailer to cheer me up.

Available exclusively at GameStop, Pounds of Pain! The EDF Battle Armor Weapons Pack features a total of 15 exclusive brutal weapons designed to send those bugs 6 feet under!  The pack will equip EDF’s customizable Battle Armor with eight new weapons including the C9 Turnburl x Shotgun and Brux Fab Chowbrow Grenade Launcher that promises to obliterate insects upon impact.  In addition, the Trooper and Tactical Armors receive immediate exclusive upgrades of their own including the RLF -17 Floorboard Rocket Launcher and the VanSnaster SpreadBurst Assault Rifle.

Available exclusively at Best Buy, Death From Above! The EDF Jet Armor Weapons Pack includes 15 of the EDF’s most powerful weaons in one supply drop.  The Weapons Kit will equip EDF’s flying Jet Armor set with eight exclusive weapons including the Plantain Ind. Torchee Sniper Rifle and Brewbreaux 08b-m Missile Launcher.  In addition, Trooper and Tactical Armors also receive an exclusive set of upgrades including the El Gigante Rocket Launcher and the Wallagis 1776 L Missile Launcher.
