Dumb but oh-so fun blaster Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is still riding high in the charts yet the developers, Pandemic, are already talking up downloadable content for the middle of the month. Yeah, we’ll be having some of that…

The “Total Payback” pack is, like, totally freemans too, and promises to add much to the already gloriously explosive proceedings. Get your enhanced gameplay-appreciating gear around this lot:

· Cheats: Infinite ammo, infinite health and the ability to unlock all weapons, vehicles and airstrikes.

· New playable characters: Six of them, in fact - Blanco, Fiona, Ewan, Eva and two others as yet unnamed.

· Cross region co-op: Challenge gamers from around the globe, or around the corner if you’re feeling a little shy.

Not bad for nothing, eh? October 13th is the date for Xbox 360 owners, while their PS3-punting counterparts will have to hang on for an extra week. It looks like there’s more DLC incoming in November too. We’ll be sure to tell you what, when etc as soon as we know.
