Max Payne 3 hostage negotiation DLC landing October 30

After an initial delay earlier this year, Rockstar is finally ready to release the next instalment of Max Payne 3 multiplayer DLC.

The Hostage Negotiation Pack will be released across all platforms on Tuesday, October 30.

The Hostage Negotiation DLC will add four new multiplayer maps (Club Moderno, Estadio Do Galatians, O Palacio Strip Club, and Favela Heights), as well as three new items: Intimidation Mask (slows down opponents' reload time), Bomb Suit (protects against explosive damage), and Explosive Burst (creates fiery booby traps).

Additionally, the Hostage Negotiation DLC for Max Payne 3 will add two new weapons to players' arsenals. These include the M24 Sniper Rifle and the IA2 Assault Rifle.

The DLC will be free for those who hold a $30 Rockstar Pass, which unlocks all planned add-on content for Max Payne 3, and will cost either 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE or $9.99 on PlayStation Network and PC.
