The Surge 2 New Patch and Free Weapon DLC Available

Deck13, the team behind The Surge 2, has put together a new patch for their Dark Souls-inspired action-RPG that fixes numerous bugs and issues. And as a bonus, this relatively minor patch is accompanied by a free piece of DLC that adds four new weapons to the game. On top of it, we now know that the game’s premium DLC season pass will be revealed next week. Here’s what the developers have in store for us:

Hello everyone,

We’re excited to bring more content to the game and expand the collection of high-tech killing utensils with our free Future Shock Weapon Pack. This pack adds four new vicious weapons today on PlayStation 4 and PC, and tomorrow on Xbox One.

This free Weapon Pack includes the deadly Golden Twin Blades, the devastating “BFH” Heavy Duty Weapon, the brutal Mangled Articulators Punching Gloves, and the versatile Golden Harvest Double Duty Weapon. Find the enemies wielding them and execute them to claim the weapons for yourself!

And that is only the beginning. Stay tuned as next week will see the full reveal of The Surge 2’s Season Pass, with more weapons, more implants, more gear sets, and a brand-new storyline DLC with hours of content in a new environment to be released down the line.

We also released a patch for PC, featuring bug fixes and improvements. Read the patch notes below!
