Free PVP expansion pack comes to PS VR’s Farpoint

Sony has been dropping all sorts of goodies into the PlayStation Store for PS VR fans lately. Today, Impulse Gear is releasing a free expansion pack for their premier PS VR first person shooter Farpoint.

Three new PVP maps are included with the release (Underworld, Pipeline, and Permafrost), each of which has a three areas to play in, effectively giving players 9 new maps. Two new modes will be available, Deathmatch and Uplink.  Uplink sounds pretty much like a Capture the Flag mode, with players capturing and holding communication relays to secure areas of the map. Deathmatch is, you know, deathmatch.

Also included in this release:

• Player XP progression with unlockable skins
• Weapon XP progression with 15 new weapons to unlock
• Chaos difficulty co-op games are now significantly more chaotic
• Easy crouch while sitting using the crouch button toggle
• New turning comfort settings
• New Trophies

The base game is currently selling on Amazon for $49.99, though I’ve often seen it on sale for less at brick and mortar stores. What I haven’t seen too often is the Farpoint / Aim Controller bundle, and Amazon has that in stock right now for $87.95.  That’s a bit above suggested retail, but this thing is so rare that you might want to snatch it up if you are interested.
