Today Sony Online Entertainment released Home Turf, the sixth downloadable content pack for DC Universe Online (DCUO). The new DLC introduces a customizable and upgradable base system which players can use to create their very own Lair. The Lair will serve as both a base and battleground for new Lair PVP battles. Players can also harness new powers and combat abilities via their new Lair to use on the streets of Gotham City and Metropolis.
This one’s gonna hurt…
“Every hero or villain should have a Lair, so this is really fulfilling a major fantasy for our players,” said Jens Andersen, Creative Director, DC Universe Online.
“The introduction of Lair PvP Battles also adds an entirely new level of action to the game, allowing players to thrash opponents in these new round-based duels. Whether as a way for gamers to express themselves through customization or to seek tactical advantage in combat, Lairs are rewarding for both heroes and villains.”
All DCUO players will have access to a Hideout, a low rent version of Lairs with limited capabilities. The Home Turf DLC gives players two Lair Themes, with four additional Lair themes that are accessible in the Marketplace, and with more to come in the future. Players can customize their Lairs by collecting some of the hundreds of available items through gameplay.
Along with the new Base system, Home Turf gives gamers access to new high end solo content, with new missions at four iconic locations: Stryker’s Island, Arkham Asylum, Steelworks and Ace Chemicals. Each location boasts new exterior and interior content, instances and missions that breathe new actio n into the environments. These areas each offer players 10 missions to complete for ‘Marks of War,’ which they can use to purchase equipment, or convert to ‘Marks of Triumph’ in order to upgrade their Base Mainframe.
DCUO’s Home Turf DLC pack is a free download for the game’s Legendary members and is now available for $9.99 USD to Free and Premium players via the PlayStation Network, the in-game Marketplace, or for PC players via the DCUniverseOnline website
