On behalf of everyone here at Zipper Interactive, I’m pleased to announce that beginning March 25, our first official MAG downloadable add-on will be made available to players worldwide absolutely free of charge!
Dubbed the “Trooper Gear Pack,” our first DLC addition to the MAG universe will offer a number of cool goodies for veterans and first timers alike. Out of everything in the pack, the most popular will likely be the oft-requested “Flashbang Grenade” that can be used to confuse, disorient or distract your enemies in a single throw.
Of course, there’s more to the Trooper Gear Pack than Flashbangs. We’ll also be including new special edition Light Machine Guns for each PMC. Raven’s APEX 100SE, SVER’s RTK-74 Vla, and Valor’s Mk 46 Mod 1 weapons will provide both a new look for your favorite LMGs and a number of performance adjustments as well.
The last element of the pack will be two additional uniforms – “Trooper Dark” and “Trooper Light.” Available to all three PMCs, these uniforms are specifically designed for urban and interior combat situations and give you two more aesthetic options to diversify your character with.
The best part of the Trooper Gear Pack? It’s just the beginning of our ongoing commitment to MAG. In the coming months, you can expect to see plenty of other add-ons and goodies that we can’t quite tell you about yet (but know you’ll enjoy).
But that’s not all. To commemorate the release of our DLC, we want to throw in a little extra. And so, as a thank you to all of our fans, we’re offering Double XP to any and all MAG players starting March 25. Simply log in at 12am Pacific/ 3am Eastern/ 8am GMT and play MAG as you normally would. Every time you complete a game your experience doubles, and yes, this bonus stacks for Veterans who already have an XP bonus to begin with! Just make sure you actually complete the games you play – if you quit early, your bonus won’t apply.
Expect the Double XP promotion to run until 11:59pm Pacific time on Sunday, March 28. Be sure to take advantage of it as much as you possibly can until then.

Pretty cool DLC, but I can’t shake the feeling that it’s just a small add-on.
I know I’m going to sound like I’m going “more more more!”, but that’s really what MAG needs. More weapons, more abilities, and ESPECIALLY more maps and more game modes. Flashbangs are good n’ all, but the real meat that MAG needs are new maps and game modes (preferably free, at least the first few ones)
damn some of u nerds need to calm down already asking 4 new maps????? the game hasnt even been out for 2 months and ya asking 4 mad things already zipper been on top of this game since the release thank ya for that path yesterday and 4 this DLC thats free might i ad
thanks zipper interactive!
PS Store update please
YAY! I love MAG, but sadly I haven’t much time to play it (sorry but Heavy Rain and Bioshock 2 are pretty addictive too). Now I’ll finally be able to catch up in XP. Congrats on making such a great game Zipper!
hey no sticky grenades??
um 8:22 pm.. update please
Thanks Zipper for the goodies, can’t wait for double xp weekend!
I LOVE FREE STUFF, ESPECIALLY MAG! OH, I’D LOVE TO SEE THE SPYDER SKIN FOR MY RAVEN CHARACTER AVAILABLE ON THE NETWORK SOON, OK?! STUCK WITH AN UNUSED VALOR SKIN – PFFFT!
I have never been able to sign-in on the mag forums or view the leaderboard with my ps3. This isn’t a pc title!!!!!
Players Online has gone from 4500 to 1300 this week.
I’ll keep playing but there still some things that bother me.
I NEED A MEDIC
Oh hells yeah!
And just want to say that I love MAG, the whole concept and game setup is just ******* great.
Need to hurry up and finish GOW III in time for this.
Sweetness!
So will the flash grenades and LMGs have to be bought via the skill tree or will they be default equipment like what we are given at level 1?
cool beans
Free is always good!
Awesome! Zipper you guys are the best!
Zipper you guys never stop amazing me! Great job on MAG its fantastic! finally a FPS that requires skill and teamwork unlike pathetic games like MW2 and Halo thank you guys for supporting your game so well! :)
Than you Zipper! No one is better than you guys! :D
sweet! ty so much. However i would love to see some new maps, more types of weapons and new game modes. I would love to see MAG have a snowy map. Keep up the great support!
F’n A baby yeah!! Thank you ZIT
Double XP FTW!!!!!! YEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
Cant wait, so glad i bought this game, if this is the support we can expect for MAF lifeline, iam all pumped up for it. I actually got of my chair when i saw the Double XP celebration, and the best part, DLC is FREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
thanks for the awesome update, but what happend to the full face mask from the beta? I never understood why it was removed for the offical release and expected it to be in this batch of DLC (which it was not) if zipper has abandoned the face mask for the game I would like to know why? (especially when it worked just fine having it in the beta) not the most important thing I know, but it was wayyy better than the sunglasses option you have now :(
A healthy portion of the items in the beta were there for testing purposes — so things like the balaclava were just temporary. That doesn’t meant that the possibility of revisiting those items over time is out of the question, though.
