Halo gun sneaks into Fable II News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

14 January, 2009

Lionhead has sneaked a copycat Halo Assault Rifle into the still-warm Knothole Island downloadable content for Fable II.

Kotaku spotted the weapon, which is received after trading in pure experience at the Box of Secrets.

The gun - Hal's Rifle - is rather powerful, dealing 59 damage per shot and holding a clip of 24 bullets. Peow peow. There's even an empty augment slot.

It also goes very nicely with Hal's Outfit and Hal's Sword, which are Fable II-styled replicas of Master Chief's armour and the Covenant Energy Sword from Halo.

Knothole Island was released yesterday on Xbox 360 for 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60). There's a free patch of identical size on offer, but this simply updates game versions so friends can continue to play together online - the new content is off-limits unless bought.

There are freebies, though, in the shape of Knight's Boots, Assassins Gloves, a special Weight Loss Potion and a collectible silver book.

Look out for our thoughts on Knothole Island today.

Bought it, finished 2 temples and some surprise boxes. Like it, it's more Fable 2 I guess so that's always good.

I bought Pure Experience from the alchemist in Bowerstone Market - if it isn't in stock sleep for a few days until it appears.

@Mildew, cheers, seeing as I haven't actually downloaded it yet I wasn't sure if it was something I missed in the main game.

I agree, the entire article, including the title, should have been in spoiler tags. :)

I'm going to DL it tonight before EG suck all the fun out of it. ;)

Do rather feel like this sort of easter egg stuff qualifies as spoilers, especially this close to the release of the game. Would rather see an "Easter Eggs Round-Up" in six months or so with interesting bits you might have missed from various games.

But then everyone would complain that EG is always late with the news. They can't win!
