Yes, you really read that right. Sony Santa Monica Studios have gone and added some new weapons they’re putting into their ultra-violent God of War prequel, Ascension and they can only be used co-operatively.
The multiplayer mode has been a rousing success for the franchise and become something of a fan favourite since the game launched back in March.
The latest update will also include 10 new co-op moves while using the new weapons.
Combined, the new weapons are…
- Spear of Achilles
- Hammer of Odysseus
- Sword of Orion
- Sword of Perseus
The weapons cannot be used individually, so it has to be a collaborative effort if players intend on maxing out the carnage. Players must equip one of the four co-op weapons, enter any multiplayer mode, execute either L1 Triangle or Square Special attacks, then when in the midst of the attack, a green halo will appear over your champion’s head. At this point, a teammate can come over and tether you to launch the special attack. Only one player has to have the weapon equipped in order to perform the move, but you can, of course, choose to have your whole team decked out with them, creating frequent attacks throughout a match.
A way to test out these new weapons is ‘coming soon’..
Mythological Heroes Armour has also been added to the marketplace, previously a pre-order incentive for the game. This includes…
- Armor of Achilles
- Odysseus Orion
- Perseus
