According to the official US PlayStation blog, MAG will be recieving free DLC next week.

Jeremy Dunham, Senior Community Manager at Zipper writes “On behalf of everyone here at Zipper Interactive, I’m pleased to announce that beginning March 25, our first official MAG downloadable add-on will be made available to players worldwide absolutely free of charge!”

The highly requested Flash-bang grenade, along with a Light Machine gun for each PMC group, will be included in the DLC pack. Jeremy Dunham writes ”Of course, there’s more to the Trooper Gear Pack than Flashbangs. We’ll also be including new special edition Light Machine Guns for each PMC. Raven’s APEX 100SE, SVER’s RTK-74 Vla, and Valor’s Mk 46 Mod 1 weapons will provide both a new look for your favorite LMGs and a number of performance adjustments as well.”

There’s also some good news for anyone requesting new armor. The last element of the DLC will include two additional uniforms available to each PMC.

Lastly, to commemorate the release of their DLC, Zipper Interactive will be holding a Double XP weekend. Jeremy Dunham adds ” But that’s not all. To commemorate the release of our DLC, we want to throw in a little extra. And so, as a thank you to all of our fans, we’re offering Double XP to any and all MAG players starting March 25. Simply log in at 12am Pacific/ 3am Eastern/ 8am GMT and play MAG as you normally would. Every time you complete a game your experience doubles, and yes, this bonus stacks for Veterans who already have an XP bonus to begin with! Just make sure you actually complete the games you play – if you quit early, your bonus won’t apply.

Expect the Double XP promotion to run until 11:59pm Pacific time on Sunday, March 28. Be sure to take advantage of it as much as you possibly can until then”.
