In a new blog post Xbox Live Director of Programming Larry Hryb (Major Nelson) announced that the pack will be called the Horde Command Pack.
"Taking you deeper into the fight with three explosive new maps, three new playable characters, two new weapon skins, and additional achievements worth 250 Gamerscore," Hryb wrote, "the Horde Command Pack also includes new fortification upgrades to help you mow down the Lambent and Locust threats in the fan-favorite Horde mode."
The pack will be available for 800 Microsoft Points ($10) and will download automatically for anyone who purchased a Season Pass for the game's DLC.
As previously speculated, the pack will include maps named Blood Drive, Rustlung and Azura. In addition, new characters named Onyx Guard, Big Rig Dizzy and Bernie will be included, as well as "Team Plasma" and "Jungle Camo" weapon skins.
Hryb also confirmed the following new fortification upgrades:
Command Center - A brand new type of fortification that allows you to call in fire support from sniper teams, mortar strikes and even multiple Hammers of Dawn
Decoy Upgrade - A new fortification level that turns your decoy into an Onyx Guard bot that will fight in your defense
Sentry Upgrade - This upgrade adds a fire bolt sentry that deals much more damage and is very effective against Berserkers
Silverback Upgrade - This advancement allows you to upgrade your Silverback exo-suit with devastating rockets and extra levels of repair cost reduction
According to Hryb, the content is "playable in Beast mode and privately hosted Versus matches."
The pack will be available on November 1st.
