DC Universe Online expands your aura!

Game update 34 has gone live — heroic deeds, green light and sorcery

Munich

Today, the European online games publisher ProSiebenSat.1 Games and developer Sony Online Entertainment released one of the most highly-anticipated updates for DC Universe Online. With immediate effect, this comprehensive and free 34th game update will allow players to access the aura of the Green Lantern Corps, add the ability to unlock heroic deeds, revised sorcery pets, and a whole array of high-level equipment and other improvements.

Heroism is on the rise in DC Universe Online. With the new heroic deeds feature, players will have access to a long-anticipated system which will allow them to use Replay Badges to activate heroic deeds that they have already earned for their other characters. Players will be able to earn skill points faster using multiple characters with the new system, allowing them to level up more easily.

Starting immediately, players will also have the option of obtaining the Green Lantern's Green Aura for their character. Players will find this aura in the Promethium Lockbox. In the Lantern Corps' Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum, the color green represents willpower. Only fighters with an indomitable will can control the Green Aura, and with its help, be able to confront their greatest fear. In DC Universe Online, the chance of players finding a Green Aura is now as high as that of finding all other six auras.

In DC Universe Online's 34th update, PvP players can look forward to the brand new Capture & Hold map "The Moon". The new 5v5 map is available to both legend PvPs and arena PvPs, and promises exciting battles. In addition, update 34 also includes five new BOUNTY and WANTED missions for heroes and villains from the current DLC expansion "War of the Light – Part 1". All heroes and villains can look forward to even more thrilling fights in the new missions.

All heroes and villains who possess the Sorcery Power Set will be glad to know that new graphics, better effects and revised skills have made the "Guardian" and "Fury" pets real eye-catchers in DC Universe Online.

The Guardian is now a flying combatant with the task of taunting all groups around it, and to keep them from getting into fights with its owner. As a flying hand blaster, the Fury now deals massive damage to its owner's target.

And that's not all! A few final extras round off this comprehensive 34th update. For example, the vendors of high-level equipment (Ranks 1, 2 and 4) have acquired new items. Players can simply purchase these pieces of equipment with the Marks of Triumph they have earned to complete their equipment sets. The new objects comprise rare necklaces and rings, breakout trinkets and weapons from all 11 weapon types.

In order to help players find their way around the headquarters in DC Universe Online, numerous new map markings were also added. This means that style vendors, vendors of PvE and PvP armor and mark changers are now much easier to spot.

Game update 34 for DC Universe Online is now available for free.
