Agents of Change are about to enter the battle for the Ark. Bethesda has revealed the features of the first DLC pack for its class-based shooter, Brink, including new maps, abilities, and customization options.

Posting on the official Bethesda Blog, the publisher announced the details for Agents of Change, the free thank you DLC pack for fans who suffered through lag-filled matches at when the game launched in early May.


The Agents of Change rundown:
New Maps
Founders Tower -- The revolution finally reaches the island's iconic spire and takes the battle for the Ark to dizzying heights.

Labs -- Venture into the depths of the Ark's original research and development laboratories, a submerged high-tech facility so far untouched by the civil war.

New Player Abilities
UAV -- This stealthy and lethal device allows Operatives to automatically mark nearby enemies on their radar. For more explosive fun, they can even take direct control of the UAV and detonate it near unsuspecting foes.

Napalm Grenade -- Soldiers can use this new grenade to cover an area in a sea of deadly flames.

Pyro Mine -- Engineers can plant these mines and leave enemies in the epicenter of a massive napalm explosion.

Field Regen Unit -- Medics can deploy these units to increase the health regeneration of any nearby teammates.

Tactical Scanner -- This universal ability allows players to reveal the active buffs of their opponents, allowing them to pick off enemies more strategically.

New Weapon Attachments
Bayonets -- Gain the edge in melee combat and cause extra damage with these deadly blades.

Weapon Shields -- Take cover from enemy fire and prevent headshot bonus damage behind riot-style shields.

New Character Outfits
The Sad Punk -- Add a touch of Steampunk to your Resistance character.

The Limey -- Bring order to the Ark with this outfit inspired by traditional European police.
Bethesda added that Agents of Change will increase Brink's level cap from 20 to 24. No release date specifics beyond "June" were provided.


Sharkey says: Sounds good. The Field Regen Unit, in particular, will be huge when squads work together in small areas on lengthy hack, disarm, and unlock objectives. And Bayonets could be huge for players adept at getting in close for kills. Looking forward to seeing the missions linked to the new maps.
