A screeenshot from the "Just Cause 3" Bavarium Sea Heist DLC Steam

"Just Cause 3" players without the Air, Land and Sea Expansion Pass will get to experience the Bavarium Sea Heist downloadable content or DLC on Aug. 18, after its one-week exclusivity to Expansion Pass holders.

The DLC was released initially on Aug. 11. It comes with a new location, missions, a challenge type and an "Eden Spark" lighting gun.

The "Just Cause 3" DLC also features a "devastating new" rocket boat called Loochador equipped with enough arsenal for the new mission set in the unforgiving waters of West Medici.

There, players are tasked to "infiltrate the Stingray, a mysterious research facility, home of the rarest and strongest weapon ever created by the Eden Corporation."

In the Bavarium Sea Heist DLC, "Just Cause 3" players also need to destroy Scolio, the location of the Eden Research stations and the Stingray base.

Loochador will come with multi-lock missile launchers and miniguns, which players can use to stop the Black Hand Fleet before they themselves manage to foil the task at hand.

The Eden Spark lighting gun in the "Just Cause 3" DLC will have to be retrieved and used to "unleash elemental death on your enemies in all new storyline and missions."

"Just Cause 3" players can also power up the lightning gun with mods that can be earned from in the Boat Invader challenge.

The Bavarium Sea Heist DLC is priced at $5.99. It is the third expansion pack in the Air, Land and Sea Expansion pass. It follows the Sky Fortress DLC and the Mech Land Assault DLC.

All these "Just Cause 3" DLC packs will, as per Expansion Pass lead designer Marcus Andrews, allow players to "wreak havoc in fresh, creative, and unique ways that ensures both new and existing fans of Just Cause 3 will have hours of additional content and an enormous number of ways to approach any situation."
