The Last of Us: New DLC and Season Pass End
The final DLC drop for The Last of Us Season Pass is coming. Here are the full details and more information about new items for Factions Mode and Single Player.
We’re pleased to announce the third and final drop in The Last of Us season pass. Here’s a rundown of what’s in the new DLC drop.
New trophies and a mix of single player and multiplayer content await you in this DLC drop. Grounded Mode will be the hardest challenge you’ll ever face as you try to complete the single player campaign of The Last of Us. The AI is relentless, smart, and brutal and survival will be near impossible. “Completed Grounded Mode” might be one of the most difficult trophies you’ll ever earn. If you’re not a season pass holder Grounded Mode will cost $4.99 standalone.
The Reclaimed Territories Map Pack features four news maps: Wharf, Capitol, Coal Mine, and Water Tower. Each map has a mix of trophies attached and is set in location that will be familiar yet unfamiliar to players of the single player campaign. Intelligent use of climbing, stealth, flanking, and all your clan survival techniques will be essential to master these maps. It is available for $9.99 for non-season pass holders.
Wharf | Set in the rusted-out docks where Joel encountered Robert, the Wharf map features close quarters gameplay, two snipers nests, and a giant boat. It's full of good opportunities for climbing, flanking and stealth. |
Capitol | Set in Boston, the Capitol Map features indoor and outdoor gameplay. It encourages the intelligent use of flanking. |
Coal Mine | Set in Colorado, Coal Mine is a winter map that is spotted with abandoned buildings. It's a spacious map that has long lines of sight and a bridge that's a perfect perch for snipers. The dynamic snowstorm obscures the view so be on your toes. |
Water Tower | Set in Lincoln, PA, the Water Tower map features two primary chokepoints for some deadly face-to-face confrontations. It's mainly an outdoor map with a few indoor areas and some very unique lighting. It might seem open but it's really a tight map that's perfect for close quarters melee. |
New guns and new survival skills are coming as part of the new DLC as well. All new guns and skills are available to try before you buy as part of new pre-set load outs. The Survivalist Weapon Bundle costs $5.99 contains four new weapons: Specter, Double Barrel, Enforcer, and Launcher. These guns have very unique attributes that have been carefully balanced so as to offer new play styles that fit into the existing Factions gameplay.
Survivalist Weapon Bundle | Need more firepower? This is your bundle. The Survivalist Weapon bundle includes the Specter, Double Barrel, Enforcer, and Launcher. PSN purchase unlocks this gun for use in your Custom Loadout. |
Specter | A silenced assault rifle that's great if your style is stealth stalker. PSN purchase unlocks this gun for use in your Custom Loadout. Equip in the Purchasable loadout slot, then use in-game parts to buy it during the match. |
Double Barrel | Classic, deadly, double-barrel shotgun. Only 1 loadout point. PSN purchase unlocks this gun for use in your Custom Loadout. Equip in the Purchasable loadout slot, then use in-game parts to buy it during the match. |
Enforcer | Highly accurate pistol but will cost you an extra loadout point. |
Launcher | A weapon that fires small explosives, in the vein of a home-made potato gun. PSN purchase unlocks this gun for use in your Custom Loadout. Equip in the Purchasable loadout slot, then use in-game parts to buy it during the match. |
Two Survival Skills Bundles, Situational Survival Skills Bundle and Professional Survival Skills Bundle, are also included if you own the season pass. If you want to purchase these standalone they’ll cost you $3.99 each. These skills are very effective ways to find your new favorite play style.
Situational Survival Skills Bundle | Unlock four survival skills that will help you get the best of any situation. This bundle includes Agility, Awareness, Fortitude, and Scavenger. |
Agility | Climb, vault, and move while crouching faster than you could before. At level 3 you are nearly impossible to hear while moving. |
Awareness | See enemy nametags before they see yours and enemy nametags remain on screen for several seconds when taking fire. |
Fortitude | Downed? Level up this skill and it will help you survive longer as you'll take longer to bleed out, crawl faster, and have more health when downed. At higher levels you'll start with an extra health pack, and earn extra parts each time you heal. |
Scavenger | Automatically pick up ammo and supplies and see increases in drops from enemies with this valuable skill. At level 3 enemies sometimes drop a random crafting ingredient. |
Professional Survival Skills Bundle | Unlock four survival skills that will make you even more deadly. This bundle includes Gunslinger, Bomb Expert, Executioner, and Damage Marker. |
Gunslinger | Equip this skill to start each spawn with more pistol ammo as you level up the skill. |
Bomb Expert | Your bombs will explode more quickly and you'll be immune to the stun of your own smoke bomb as you level up this skill. |
Executioner | If your play style is the higher the risk, the greater the reward then this is the skill you want. Earn more parts for shiv kills and special executions, and get extra shiv uses every time you craft a shiv. |
Damage Marker | Good at hitting your targets? This is the skill for you as you'll automatically mark any enemies you hit and earn double the parts for making. |
Finally everyone, non-season pass holders included, will be getting a new gun - the Full-Auto Rifle - for free. This is a fully automatic, modified burst rifle that is very easy to use. It’s the perfect weapon for people who are new to Factions and experts alike.
