Four New Gear Pieces Added to 'Advanced Supply Drops' for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Sledgehammer Games and Activision have announced that four new pieces of gear have now been added to the 'Advanced Supply Drops' for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. In a tweet shared by Softpedia, the video game developer wrote: "NOW LIVE: Exclusive New Gear available in #AdvancedWarfare's Advanced Supply Drops. pic.twitter.com/ZGOuFX1SqA - Sledgehammer Games (@SHGames) April 7, 2015."

The Gold Edition of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is now also available for purchase at the Xbox Store. This special edition includes the full game, along with the Havoc DLC Pack and Atlas Gorge Multiplayer Map. In this expanded release, players will also have access to the Exo Zombies co-op content, as it's part of the earlier Havoc DLC.

The Ascendance downloadable content (DLC) expansion pack, the second DLC following Havoc, is also now available across the Xbox One and Xbox 360 platforms and it includes the following specific contents:

• Four new multiplayer maps: Perplex, Site 244, Climate, and Chop Shop.
• Exo Zombies Chapter Two: described by Activision as "located on the outskirts of an Atlas facility, the new Exo Zombies episode introduces a slew of never-before-seen undead masses, a robust arsenal of new traps and armaments and everyone's favorite fast food joint, Burgertown."
• New weapons: The OHM directed energy light machine gun/shotgun hybrid and the OHM Werewolf custom variant. These weapons are available now for DLC pass owners.

• New playlist called Exo Grapple: described by Activision as "Exo Grapple gives players a faster way to reach strategic vantage points or a brutal secondary weapon to take down the competition, exclusively on Ascendance maps."

For the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 as well as for the PC versions of the game, the Ascendance DLC will be released in about one month, in accordance with Microsoft's exclusivity arrangement with Activision. The DLC is already included with the $50 Advanced Warfare DLC pass or can be purchased separately for $15.

Two additional expansions for Advanced Warfare are scheduled for release later this year, namely the Supremacy DLC and the Reckoning DLC.
