‘Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars’ DLC News and Updates: Collecting Body Parts, New Weapons, Space Bugs

The “Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars” DLC is out today and it comes with a lot of surprises for players on both the PC and consoles. There are new weapons to cause mayhem with, giant space bugs to kill, and body parts to collect. In terms of the premise, this expansion seems like a no-brainer for players to get. However, not everyone is happy with “Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars” DLC.

There is a lot to unpack with regards to the features that come with the “Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars” DLC. Starting with the new weapons, VG247 lists down the new firearms that gamers will get to play with. These include Blaster of Disaster, which is a single-shot weapon, and Hellfire, which shoots balls of laser that also bounce around.

As for the plot of the expansion, “Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars” DLC involves the main game’s pilot character Nick Rye getting teleported to Mars after flying close to the stratosphere, Android Central reports. From there, he teams up with Hurk Jr. to prevent an alien invasion that is coming to Earth. Before that, though, players will need to spend some time finding his body parts that have been scattered all over Mars.

During the process, players will be blasting space bugs, traversing Mars in lower gravity, and trying to keep off the ground as much as possible. Apparently, the enemies can detect players if they choose to walk on the red sand in the “Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars” DLC. As such, spending as much time in the air as they can is a good move to avoid combat.

As fun as those details might make the expansion seem, not everyone is happy about this new offering. In its review, Kotaku considers “Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars” DLC a disappointment because it apparently becomes tedious. While the premise did seem promising, it would seem that the developers never took full advantage of everything that a travel to Mars could have offered.
