A new patch forHomefrontshould fix some issues with the multiplayer today, at least on the Xbox 360 where the update is available — I guess that’s one way to do timed exclusivity. Beside some fixes here and there, a new “Ability Pack” has been included in the update as well.

Also, the first “Fire Sale” Map Pack DLC will hit Xbox LIVE on June 7th and will feature two new multiplayer maps. Two whole maps! On the same day, the “870 Express Shotgun” weapon can be downloaded, and a PremiumHomefronttheme for your 360 will be offered for free as a thank you for buying 2+ million copies despite mediocre reviews.

No official word on whether that shotgun will be free just like the Premium theme, as info about it won’t be released until June 7th. Check the patch notes and Ability Pack details below.

Ability Pack

Improvements to:

I don’t playHomefront, but “Joining Friends” sounds like a feature I’d want in a game if I, you know, buy it at launch. I sure love me some “Various other fixes” though, they really are my favorite kind.

The opening area of the Whisper mission, in a small grove.

The Divide in the Cosmodrome, where the Guardian was resurrected.

A holofoil Ribbontail, as seen in collections.

The Phoneutria Fera hand cannon, inspired by the Season of the Haunted armor set. It has a unique, galactic glow.

Three Fuses appear in a match of Apex Legends' Wild Card mode.

Mad Maggie opens a supply bin and an item with a symbol indicating infinite ammo appears.

Legends slide through a zipline in King’s Canyon in Apex Legends.
