'Halo 5: Anvil's Legacy' DLC Release Date, News & Updates: Full REQ Lineup Announced With New Weapons, Maps

The new "Halo 5" DLC, called "Anvil's Legacy," will arrive on Xbox One soon. The new content will bring new Reqs and Forge tools for "Halo 5" players for more depth and dynamic gameplay.

According to Microsoft, "Halo 5: Guardians - Anvil's Legacy" will arrive on September 8, bringing new forge tools for Windows 10 PC. The new "Halo 5" DLC will provide new maps, weapons and additional support. First, the Forge tools of "Halo 5" will allow a higher resolution of 4K for PC, compared to Xbox One. Users can host and play custom matches for up to 16 players. The new Forge tools do not include no matchmaking support, however.

GameSpot revealed that the "Halo 5" Forge tools on PC will also introduce the new file browser, allowing players to find creations on both Xbox One and PC. The file browser is set to arrive on Xbox One in September 2016, to be included in the update of "Halo 5 - Anvil's Legacy." Similar to the PC version, players can look for and install creations on either gaming platform. However, PC is only limited to custom games, so there will be no cross-play between PC and Xbox One.

In another GameSpot report, 343 Industries featured the full Req lineup for "Halo 5 - Anvil's Legacy." There will be two new maps - Temple (Warzone Assault) and Mercy (Arena). Some of the new weapons to try include the Tactical Magnum, rare Wicked Grasp and ultra-rare Berserker's Claw. Mercy is actually a re-imagination of the Haven map in "Halo 4."

The Wicked Grasp is a great weapon for holding and defending bases. The weapon is ideal for short and mid-range combat. The Assault Cannon: Berserker's Claw in "Halo 5 - Anvil's Legacy" must be charged shortly before firing, but can handle groups of targets in a single shot. It is a good counter against early vehicles and infantry.

"Halo 5" has been launching expansions almost every month since November 2015. The last "Halo 5" expansion was Warzone Firefight in June. "Legacy's Anvil" will launch on Sept. 8, 2016. More updates and details on "Halo 5" are expected to follow soon.
