Halo 5: Guardians pakt het qua DLC helemaal anders aan. Geen dure Season Pass maar gewoon gratis content. Vanaf nu kunnen we met de Hammer Storm-DLC aan de slag. Deze update brengt onder meer drie nieuwe modes naar de game: Grifball, Assault and Fiesta. Daarnaast is er een nieuwe map: Torque. Verder zijn er ook nog eens nieuwe wapens, nieuwe REQ-packs en nieuwe Forge-mogelijkheden beschikbaar. Een volledig overzicht vind je in onderstaande lijst en het bijbehorende filmpje!
New game modes: Grifball, Assault and Fiesta. From the hammer-meets-sword sports sensation of Grifball, and weapon-roulette hilarity of Fiesta, to the fan-favorite Assault game type that’s been fully evolved for Halo 5: Guardians, Hammer Storm brings a brand new game mode to fit every flavor of Halo fan.
New map Torque. An entirely new environment primed for battle, Torque is a large symmetrical map that caters to Capture the Flag and Assault game modes. The pistons in each courtyard can provide key gameplay for cover, traversal, and objective movement.
New weapons change the game. The Gravity Hammer provides the proper tool for smashing enemies, and the Halo: CE Pistol brings back a legacy of single handed death-dealing. Be sure to watch for the classic headshot death animation when you deliver the killing blow!
New REQ items. Hammer Storm contains a myriad of new REQs, including attachments for loadout weapons, weapon skins, armors, emblems, assassinations, visors, and stances.
New possibilities with Forge. The new “ball” mechanic that powers the Assault and Grifball modes unlocks the potential for entirely new game types in Forge mode, not to mention paving the way for returning favorites like Oddball and Ricochet.
