Just Cause 2 DLC out today

By Robert Purchese Published 26 May, 2010

Called Black Market Boom.

Just Cause 2 add-on Black Market Boom has been released on PC, PSN and Xbox 360.

This costs £1.60 on Steam, 160 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360 and $1.99 on PS3. Note that the European PlayStation Store will be updated later today.

Inside the Black Market Boom are three prototype weapons as over-the-top as the game they belong to. There's the Quad Rocket Launcher and the Cluster Bomb Launcher, as well as the Air Propulsion Gun that blasts jets of air powerful enough to send vehicles skywards.

    Sweeeet.

    Something I'm slightly miffed about is the cost of buying weapons and vehicles. For such a sandbox, fun-led experience, the cost of purchasing toys is enough to put you off doing it too often, which is a shame. Too often I think about buying some over-the-top vehicle to reach my destination but neglect it in favour of sky-hooking it or grabbing something local.

    Kudos for DLC, but where's the patch?!

  • Boomerang #3 2 years ago

    Insta-buy™

    In 15 years of gaming, this is the first game i've bought DLC for. I believe they got it right - great fun, welcome additions and priced appropriately.

  • DrDamn #4 2 years ago

    Agree with both Crea and Boomerang. Nicely priced fun additions to the sand box game ultimately a bit borked by the in-game delivery mechanism/cost. Hope the patch will address this.

    What I'd like to see is a low single use cost for a black market item and a higher unlimited use cost for the same item.

    OLD!

    This was out yesterday chaps...

  • beastmaster #6 2 years ago

    A fantastic fun game made even more fantastic and fun!

  • jumpdeveraux #7 2 years ago

    Tempted to pick this up as it's so cheap.

    But to be honest once I completed the story missions I've moved off to other games such as RDR and a copy of inFamous I picked up for £9 at GAME.

    I'd have liked to have seen some additional missions patched in... I don't expect cutscenes etc. but just something new to do.

  • bratmandu #8 2 years ago

    Mite pick this up, air propulsion gun sounds cool. Recently returned to this after deciding 100%ing all settlements, bases airports and harbours was unrealistic. I got all secret packages, but to 100% everything would take an age, I'll just enjoy the main missions, which I have now started, 50 hours into playtime! I'm a sucker for sandbox games.

  • vegard #9 2 years ago

    Avalance, PLEASE give us some kind of patch/dlc that let's you spawn objects. crackdown did this and it was awesome!

  • rojjer #10 2 years ago

    Yep, top stuff guys - keep it coming

    "Something I'm slightly miffed about is the cost of buying weapons and vehicles. For such a sandbox, fun-led experience, the cost of purchasing toys is enough to put you off doing it too often, which is a shame."

    I must agree with the comments in relation to the in game cost of these items, where I can see a justification for the cost when the single player has yet to be completed. Though when the game has been finished it makes no sense at all and seriously reduces the fun factor and worse of all the longevity!

    I downloaded the last DLC, bought one of each item in game, died and lost my money - I've not returned to the game since, and now wonder should I download this DLC as I won’t be able to afford a single item in game!

    (If it’s a black market, shouldn’t the first one be free!)

  • bad_hair_day #12 2 years ago

    I'd pay for a 'God' mode.
    Oh, and rudders on the planes while they're at it.

  • Soton4084 #13 2 years ago

    I totally Agree with Crea and SEVQA. I really wish the DLC content was free on the marketplace and it's been the only thing putting me off buying this DLC. If I can only afford to buy an item a few times before I run out of cash then it just seems as though it's limiting my use and enjoyment of the extra content.

  • irrelevanthuman #14 2 years ago

    The ammo(or lack of it)is really my only problem with this game.I know I am only reiterating what others have said before but lets hope Avalanche addresses this issue soon,it really does hurt the games fun factor.

  • beastmaster #15 2 years ago

    I want a car I can drive underwater and can eject me out 100 ft into the air as I'm about to crash into something.

  • jellyhead #16 2 years ago

    I bought the DLC to support Avalanche and their making a game so mod friendly. This pack was a tad overpriced compared to the previous pack but £1.60 every few months won't break the bank.

  • Lamb #17 2 years ago

    I want a giant sized monster truck that I can crush whole cities with. :D
