Can we expect new weapons, armor and perks?
Point Lookout weapons are more rustic – a double barreled shotgun and large axe are just some examples. In Mothership Zeta there are several new weapons; including melee and ranged weapons. The new rifle, for instance, is called the Disintegrator. Perks for both DLC are quest related and aren’t being revealed. There are also four new achievements for both Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta.
Lengthwise, will this DLC be comparable in size to your previous DLC offerings?
Each of them should take about three to five hours to complete the main quest at a standard pace.
The new enemies share, in my opinion, a strong resemblance to the Boomers from Left 4 Dead. Am I imagining things or…?
Lot of folks here play Left 4 Dead – but the inspiration for the new “Hillfolk” found in Point Lookout is more “The Hills Have Eyes,” or some ironic take on “Deliverance.”
