Hey Hoxton, did you hear about the new Butcher?

[Mr. Lemming]

She's The Bomb!

Yes heisters, it's new job time once again as our new contact shows her face for the first time and reveals why you never argue with your butcher. Especially not if she's the head of some organized crime group. Come this Thursday the new "The Bomb" heist will launch, as well as another playable character which brings us up to 8 if you've bought Clover.

More details on Tuesday as they're released, but I'd wager our new partner will be much like Clover in that he'll cost $$$ to use.

Day 1 hits as Lion Game Lion's first DLC made for the game gets ready to drop come Thursday.

Basic gist of today? Heist - $7, Dragon - $5. The thing though? They make the heist sound like two. There's two pictures (one or a derailed train in the woods, and the second of a dockyard) depicting the locations, but is it a 2 day heist or an actual pair of heists that are just 1 day each? Ah conundrums...

Also, listening to the recorder where the Butcher introduces herself, she makes reference to Gage being on an "extended vacation". Really can't see where he'd go on vacation, wonder if something happened to him.

Vague similarities to Apocalypse from X-Men on Dragon's mask, no?

The rifle Dragon brings to the party actually looks pretty good too. Nice stats on it compared to some we get. I won't bother linking his melee since, well, he's the associate of The Butcher. So suitably the melee he brings is a cleaver.

His Perk Deck is The Infiltrator, and an odd one at that. Everything thus far has been about dishing out more gun damage, more dodge (go go Fugitive Deck!), more armor/regen, more health/regen... Dragon's is... well... Less damage when surrounded by 3+ enemies much like Underdog when aced. Except that instead of just a flat 15% damage bonus, he gets increased melee damage, and the possibility of health regained from striking an enemy with melee. Puzzling to say the least, since I don't think most people want to run up and rub lime over and salt the barrel of that cop's gun just to possibly get 10% of your health back every 15 seconds...
