This is the first look at the new characters and weapons available with the Confrontation Cold Front DLC pack!
New Special Forces
With the purchase of the DLC, players will have access to a new Special Force group: the Russian Spetsnaz (SPZ).
For this Force, we created two highly detailed heads as well as a light, medium and heavy variant of their own torso and leg armor. Additionally, the Spetsnaz have their own camouflage pattern, headgear and unique voice-over.
During the Character Art research development for the DLC, one surprise discovery was the amount of American made gear that equips foreign armies. From backpacks, to armor, to helmets and camo, each of our selections are based on real load outs from the modern battlefield.
New Arctic Mercenaries
Mercenary characters have been completely updated for the SOCOM: Confrontation Cold Front DLC. Featuring new Arctic setting heads and bodies in a variety of styles, these new characters are available in light, medium and heavy armor. In addition, new camouflage and headgear has been added to the assortment of items available for Mercenaries.
Weapons from left to right:
Character 1 – M82A1A + Thermal Scope + Bipod 3
Character 2 – 552 + Foregrip + Suppressor 1
Character 3 – VAL + Thermal Scope
Character 4 – 9mm SUB + Red Dot Scope + Suppressor 2
New Weapons
Specifically for the DLC, we are offering the AG-94 assault rifle, available exclusively for the Russian Spetsnaz. Players will also have access to the Commandos’ fast-firing AK-107 and the Mercenaries’ covert VAL. In addition, Specialization CE Weapons are available exclusively to owners of the SOCOM: Confrontation Cold Front DLC. (see below).
Command Equity/Specialization Weapons
Another addition to the DLC is the Command Equity (CE)/Specializations feature.
With this feature, each player can select one weapon class as their Primary Specialization and another as their Secondary Specialization from the list of available weapon types. By Specializing in a weapon class, players will gain statistical bonuses in three categories that are significant to the type of weapon they Specialize in.
· Specializations for both Primary and Secondary Weapon Classes
· CE Points earned in Ranked games from Kills and Kill Assists
· CE Rewards in the form of unique CE Weapons and Attachments
By collecting enough CE points, players can earn unique CE Weapons and Attachments
With the yearly Electronic Entertainment Expo cued up for next week in L.A., our Fireteam Bravo 3 team has been hard at work on a shiny new build to showcase at the event.
