Although publisher Electronic Arts and developer Visceral Games have yet to detail the upcoming "Robbery" DLC for "Battlefield Hardline," avid fans of the shooter title have already spotted with their keen eyes some of the changes and improvements to be introduced, including new weapons.
For the new arsenal, it seems that "Battlefield Hardline" players will get a mix of new weapons and previous favorites. According to YouTube user Westie, the new "Robbery" DLC will feature at least 11 new weapons, ranging from assault rifles to what would probably become a player favorite — throwing knives.
New firearms include different assault rifles such as the F2000, MDC, and Famas, as well as the RPK Assault Rifle and crowd favorite M1 Carbine. In addition, players will also be given access to the Scorpion CZ 3A1 PDW and the MP7 PDW, and there will also be a Saiga 12 Shotgun.
Aside from rifles, players can also choose from the Barret M82 .50 Cal semi-auto sniper rifle, or the FN 57 handgun and throwing knives for close quarters combat.
"Robbery" is already the second DLC for the first-person shooter, following the first "Criminal Activity" expansion which rolled out in June. "Battlefield Hardline" has four planned DLCs, with the additional two expansions, "Getaway" and "Betrayal," to be launched in fall this year and early next year, respectively.
Aside from the new weapons, "Robbery" is also set to introduce a new gameplay mode, Squad Heist. Taking a leaf off the old "Battlefield 4" Squad Rush mode, the upcoming feature will engage law enforcement and gangs against each other, with the gang trying to complete looting two vaults and escaping. The law enforcers, meanwhile, will have to try and capture the opposing team.
The new DLC will also add four new maps – Break Pointe, Museum, Precinct 7, and The Docks – and a number of vehicle upgrades.
