Description

Completed The Ascent but are itching for more? Cyber Heist is for you! Solo or in co-op with your friends, take on new challenging missions, explore brand new environments, fight your way against new enemies, and experience new ways of fighting using melee weapons!
The Ascent: Cyber Heist is set after The Ascent’s main story and is accessible for those who’ve completed the main campaign and want to take on a new contract!

Kira, your former employer, has a new top-secret job, and as a newly independent contractor how could you refuse? Venture outside of your familiar arcology into a brand new arcology owned by the Malhorst-Gelb Group. There’s some new ground-breaking tech ripe for the taking, but you’re not the only one with sights on the prize.

Put your skills to the test as you take on this new challenging job. Explore brand new environments, fight your way against new enemies and experience new ways of fighting using melee weapons!

KEY FEATURES

• CONTINUE THE STORY – SOLO OR IN CO-OP

The Ascent: Cyber Heist can be accessed once you’ve completed the base game campaign. Bring your friends with you to take on this new challenging contract. Your squad has not caught up with you yet? No problem, as long as you as the host has completed the main campaign, your squad can join up and help! (We know you’ll be carrying them anyway...)

• NEW WEAPONS

Speaking of carrying, hope you have room to hold onto more weapons! Experiment with all-new weapons, including for the first time in The Ascent – Melee weapons! So now you can get up close and personal with the new Rock Crusher and Guillotine!

• NEW OVERWORLD LOCATIONS

Discover and explore a brand new arcology owned by the Malhorst-Gelb group with breathtaking new locations and environments.

• NEW MAIN & SIDE MISSIONS

Continue the story of The Ascent by completing new challenging main and side missions. Encounter colorful new characters like Ontario and Zell along the way, and fight against new enemies.

Can't recommend this DLC, for multiple reasons. DLC mostly gets inconveniences of main game into real issues. 1. Bugs a) Regular AI locking. Enemies lock in their "run to position" routine where they get ridiculous

There are multiple game breaking bugs during the final mission of this DLC that prevent you from completing it, which stops you from getting THREE achievements. 1) Zell, the final boss becoming permanently shielded in

Worth it on a sale, if you really like the main games gameplay loop, but overall really it's not great :-/ + Melee is goofy, with very primitive animations, but it's fun and enables a bit of a different playstyle + More

I was initially hesitant seeing the "Mixed" reception here, but having played the DLC I'm pretty confused... and also saddened by what I guess was a pretty poor adoption rate, going by the review numbers and DLC

BEFORE BUYING THIS, its a small extra story mission with 3 or 4 side missions. ITS NOT a new game mode where u can do heists with ur friends.

This introduces a new set of maps and supposedly a new world. But really just a few extra maps. With no real intel like the previous games and enemy times 10.... There constant and hard (and i was playing it on easy).
