DICE's FPS title, Battlefield 4 gets its much awaited release date for Dragon's Teeth downloadable content (DLC). The DLC will be out on 15 July, said the developer. Dragon's Teeth will infuse new content, adding four new maps, a new vehicle, weapons and a game mode.
Dragon's Teeth is the fourth DLC pack that will let players battle against their rivals. But on the said date it will be available to Battlefield 4 Premium members only. There will be four new maps:
- Lumphini Garden: Cruise with fast-moving PWC's on the canals in the pristine park to get the upper hand.
- Pearl Market: Wage wars within the bustling alleyways and upon the rooftops of the marketplace.
- Propaganda: Fight among massive despotic monuments in the grey concrete battleground.
- Sunken Dragon: Battle between modern high rises as you wreak havoc in a floating restaurant or drain the lake opening up for a frontal vehicle assault.
These maps will provide players with new environments and a variety of gameplay. Players will be able to use five new weapons that will be making their debut. DICE is also offering an unlockable gadget titled, the Ballistic Shield.
Players will also get a new game mode, Chain Link, where they will be having squad battles and they must link the capture points to be victorious.
Players will be getting a vehicle, R.A.W.R, a remote controlled ground vehicle, and if you are doubting whether it is armed or not, then yes it is armed, said the post on the official blog.
Apart from the above, players will be treated to 10 new assignments and unique unlocks in the game.
It has to be noted that non-Premium members will be getting the game only on 29 July.
