360 News | Don't forget to bring your Winter clothes.

THQ has just announced that Metro 2033 will be receiving downloadable content. The 'Ranger Pack' doesn't have an official release date or a price, but some interesting details have been revealed.

Their statement reads: 'The Ranger Pack adds new weapons, new achievements and the deadly ‘Ranger Mode’ game rules. In standard Ranger Mode, ammo is dramatically reduced and all weapons cause more damage. Your foes are deadlier than ever – but so are you! ‘Ranger Hardcore’ adds an additional challenge as the HUD is totally removed, creating the most immersive Metro 2033 experience yet.'

To be exact, the weapons mentioned are a 'Heavy Automatic Shotgun' and a 'Volt Driver'. The DLC will also ship with a further 250 points for Xbox 360 owners to increase their gamerscore tally.

The Ranger Pack will be released in 'the very near future' for both Xbox 360 and PC. Without any screenshots or details relating to the story, it's difficult to say how this DLC will develop. But at least we know it's finally coming; time to wrap up folks, Moscow awaits.
