Crackdown 2 Getting New DLC

Microsoft has announced some new downloadable content for Crackdown 2.  ”Toy Box” offers Crackdown 2 fans free downloadable content and an additional premium content pack for 560 Microsoft points.  The “Toy Box” Game Add-on is a literal free-for-all, offering all Crackdown 2 fans the new Vehicle Tag mode, a Level 6 ability reward and the Keys to the City at no cost to bring the high-flying action to even greater heights. For fans who want to take things to the next level, “Toy Box” also comes with bonus content that can be purchased for 560 Microsoft Points, including 10 new Achievements, Avatar Awards and new vehicles and gadgets.

“Toy Box” offers explosive free game add-on content to everyone who owns Crackdown 2 including:

• Keys to the City – Made notorious in the first Crackdown expansion as the ultimate cheat mode, Keys to the City returns to Crackdown 2 and puts an even bigger set of tools at your disposal, including God Mode, Infinite Ammo, Fly Cam, spawning of weapons, gadgets and more, the ability to freeze the time of day, and pushing all skills to the maximum to become faster, stronger and more lethal.
• Level 6 Reward – Fans who reach Level 6 on all Agent skills will be rewarded with the new Thruster ability.  The Thruster ability is like having jet packs for your boots, giving Agents built in vertical propulsion to activate flying with the Wingsuit no matter where you are in the game.
• Vehicle Tag – Once you’re done taking down the Freaks and the Cell, join your friends for a new multiplayer mode where up to eight Agents can compete in these six arenas: Speed is the Quay, Industrial Action, Maim Street, Skid Row, Beachhead and The Sum of Human Knowledge.

If you elect to also purchase the other new content for 560 Microsoft points you will get the following:

• Two New Vehicles – Access two new vehicles: the wall climbing aquatic mini-tank called the Agency ATV and the Squad Chopper, which allows four players to jump in and man their own weapon, including the proximity mine launcher, precision rocket launcher, twin machine guns and nose machine gun.
• Five New Toys – The Mass Driver (turreted gravity bending weapon), Portable Launch Pads (allows Agents to create their own launch pad jumps), Stickler Grenade (bouncing grenade that sets off smaller explosive charges as it bounces), Thrusters (allow vertical thrust), and Mags on Characters (allow Mag Grenades to be attached to characters).
• Two Avatar Awards – Deck your Agent in the latest gear.  ”Toy Box” offers two Avatar Awards to customize your XBox Live Avatar with the XBox Green Suit (must complete the Rocketeer Achievement) and Green Helmet.
• 10 New Achievements for 250 new Gamerscore points
• Eight Agent Suit Colors

No release date was announced for this new content other than “coming soon”.
