Just Cause 3: Bavarium Sea Heist - DLC Trailer (Official)

Bavarium Sea Heist is the third downloadable expansion pack for Just Cause 3. The events begin where the last mission of the Mech Land Assault left off, regardless of where the base-games storyline is at the moment. As with the other DLCs, once downloaded, it becomes unlocked after passing a few of the first storyline missions. This DLC pack takes place at sea, at the "Stingray Area" - a set of several enormous off-shore rigs where the eDEN Corporation once researched weather and electricity. The research base can control lightning and it's now controlled by the Black Hand who are using it for their "Global change project". It's up to Rico to stop them. In addition to a few missions, off-shore floating bases, the DLC will add a weaponized jet-boat and a hand-held lightning-gun.

At least here there’s a little more story than before, but it’s not enough when comparing...

EGM,

I can't recommend this Season Pass to anyone. Even if you haven't played the game yet and would be able to use these new utilities while completing the story, it's a bad sell. These DLC items make Just Cause 3 a brainless and straightforward snoozefest. Traversal becomes less exhilarating and liberating camps because way too easy, and since those are...
