Brink DLC detailed. Will include new maps, abilities, weapons attachments and outfits
We've just got the details of Brink's first (free) DLC, Agents of Change. It seems like the war for the Ark is going to be shaken up a little: "Secrets, lies and double agents. Nothing and no-one is who they seem as the Resistance and Security factions deal with the arrival of a mysterious ship from the outside world."
Blimey, that's different. Agents of Change is slated for June. Click more for the details.
Agents of Change will include two new maps, five new abilities, two new weapon attachments and two new outfits. The level cap will also be increased to 24.

New Maps:
- Founders' Tower – The revolution finally reaches the island's iconic spire and takes the battle

submerged high-tech facility so far untouched by the civil war

- Pyro Mine – Engineers can plant these mines and leave enemies in the epicenter of a massive napalm explosion.
