Next Free Wave Of Witcher 3 DLC Adds Armor, Elite Crossbow
CDProjekt Red has announced what's in this week's free DLC delivery for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It includes a cosmetic upgrade, as well as an elite long-range weapon.
The free download, available for all systems, adds a set of Nifgaardian armor and an elite crossbow to the game. It's part of The Witcher 3's 16 weeks of free DLC, where two new pieces of content will be made available to players at no charge.
Last week, it was a new mission and an alternate look for Yennifer. The first batch included armor and a variety of haircut and beard options.

Our Take
I'm not a fan of the Nilfgaardians in the game, so I'm probably going to steer clear of the armor for nerdy role-playing reasons. I do, however, love picking off enemies from a distance, so I'm eager to get my mitts on the crossbow. Regardless of how each week's DLC stacks up, I'm happy that I have the choice to pass up free content in the first place. The game is certainly not without faults, but it's one of the best RPGs I've played in a long while – with or without free crossbows.
