For those fights the EU gets the new A3 Goliath, which is a slow mobile fortress, and the PAC has access to the small but speedy Hachimoto There are also ten new unlocks (two for each class, one for the squad leader and one for the player) which include the TL-S1C CAMO UPGRADE for a better clock for the scout, a handy transmitter called IDS-1 Infantry Sonar that can be put on any surface to transmit the location of enemy units like the UAV does, and the SL-RPU which the squad leader can deploy to reduce the spawn time of his squad mates
To complete the package, there are also 7 new awards (4 Ribbons, 2 Badges, 1 Pin) waiting to be earned
