Konami has announced that the ‘Cloaked in Silence’ DLC campaign for Metal Gear Online, the dedicated, squad-based multi-player component of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, is now available. The Metal Gear Online ‘Cloaked in Silence’ Expansion Pack includes three new maps (Coral Complex, Rust Palace, Azure Mountain) and a new character, Quiet.
We’ve been told that players who purchase the ‘Cloaked in Silence’ Expansion Pack will also have unlimited access to Survival, a new win-streak mode arriving April 7. All players can apparently also try out the new maps for free in Survival matches, with a limit of 10 attempts per week (the number of free available attempts will reset every Tuesday during the scheduled maintenance).
The downloadable content adds three new maps to the mult-player game:
- Coral Complex: A dedicated Motherbase environment, allowing players to access tall towers, use storage containers and other internal areas as cover for tactical advantage. Coral Complex mixes open areas and a myriad of hiding opportunities.
- Rust Palace: Set within Afghanistan, the Rust Palace is a large multi-level building. The skeletal nature of the decrepit ruin means that cover is scarce, and the internal areas are rich in dusty rooms and high-up sniping positions.
- Azure Mountain: An outdoor plain under Africa’s baking sky. A small cluster of buildings offers scant cover, with only derelict walls and occasional scrubland surrounding the massive rock known locally as the Cradle of Spirits.
Metal Gear Online’s ‘Cloaked in Silence’ DLC also sees the debut of Quiet as a playable character. A buddy character familiar from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Quiet is a legendary sniper who can take out distant targets with excellent accuracy. Quiet’s movement speed is extremely fast and allows for unique jumping abilities over high steps where a player would usually need a ladder. She can also temporarily cloak her visibility while sprinting to activate a boost in movement speed.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, including Metal Gear Online, is currently available for the PS4, the Xbox One, and Steam for $59.99. It is also available on the PS3 and Xbox 360 for $49.99. For more info on Metal Gear Online, check out the official web site here.
