Developer Firaxis has said it isn't opposed to bringing the game to PS4 and Xbox One but said last year that its focus was on the PC version. The alien invasion strategy game is only available on PC, Mac, and Linux. You need XCOM 2 to play the Alien Hunters DLC, which releases on May 12 for $9.99. The armor sets also grant unique abilities to the user, such as boosters that let you fly around the map.Īlien Hunters arrives alongside a compatibility patch that also makes general bug fixes, optimizes performance, and balances the single player and multiplayer modes. The armor gives you a higher chance of causing the corresponding Ruler's subordinates to panic-for example, wearing the Viper King's armor is more likely to scare Vipers. The new DLC comes with three new armor sets, which you'll have to create with the Ruler aliens' corpses. The catch with these weapons is there's only one of each and if a soldier equipped with them dies, you have to carry their bodies to the Skyranger or you'll lose them permanently.
The four new weapons include the Bolt Caster, which delivers high damage in single-shots the Hunter's Axe, a new blade weapon that can be thrown the ShadowKeeper pistol, a gun that is guaranteed to hit and conceal you if you kill an enemy with it and the Frost Bomb grenade, which freezes targets temporarily.
