Crackdown 2 premium DLC outed

Avatar awards point to two packs.

Crackdown 2 looks set to receive a couple of premium downloadable content packs called Toy Box and Deluge.

That's according to, well, Crackdown 2, whose Avatar awards screen currently features four unlocks associated with the DLC.

The description for one locked goodie reads "(Toy Box Add-on only) Complete 'Fly Swat'," presumably referring to an Achievement, while the adjacent one says "(Toy Box Add-on only) Thank you for buying!"

Then there's "(Deluge Add-on only) Complete '15 Minutes Of Maim'," presumably another Achievement, and "(Deluge Add-on only) Thank you for buying!"

According to Xbox360Achievements.org, the items you'll unlock for those are a green Agent suit, green helmet, PVP suit and PVP helmet respectively.

Crackdown 2 is due out on Friday, 9th July in Europe and picked up 8/10 in Eurogamer's review.

Developed by Ruffian, it builds on Realtime Worlds' original by re-populating a now-dilapidated Pacific City with thousands of night-stalking zombie Freaks and day-walking hippy terrorists called Cell.

New toys include upgraded vehicles (and a helicopter), a wingsuit, cool new orb types to hunt down and more varied mission types.

Check out the video below of yours truly assaulting a lighthouse fortress held by the Cell and then taking the fight to the Freaks in one of their underground lairs.

Get stuck in my son.
