The Outer Worlds 2: Side Effects Guaranteed DLC announced, arrives on December 2
On the narrative front, everything will start with a distress signal that will lead us and the crew of the Incognito to an abandoned ship. On board we will find the members of the crew in suspended animation, the only way they have found to stay alive after being infected by a mysterious virus that causes the explosive death of cells. The search for a cure will take us to Elysium Valley, an unprecedented region of the planet Eden.
Here two agents of the Sub Rosa will enter the scene, with diametrically opposed ideas on how to handle the situation: save the crew or sacrifice them. Their plans will also involve a Protectorate settlement and the future of the Sub Rosa itself, and both will seek our help. It will be up to us to decide the fate of the settlement, the infected crew and the organization, with consequences that, as the developers ironically suggest, could vary.
Elysium Valley will be populated by hostile creatures such as ferocious canids and primordial sprats, or versions about a hundred times larger than normal sprats. In terms of progression, the level cap will go from 30 to 36 and we will be able to choose from over 15 new perks, while four new flaws will allow us to make our Commander stronger and, at the same time, more imperfect, but in a good way.
There will be new weapons and armor, as well as new outfits for each companion. During the exploration we will also be able to tune in to a new radio station managed by Sub Rosa, with a selection of 20 unreleased songs. Those who want to dive immediately into the new adventure can finally take advantage of the alternative start, which can be selected directly from the main menu with a personalized save that immediately leads to the content of the DLC.
We now leave you with the announcement trailer of the DLC; enjoy!
