DC Universe Online Starts Testing Episode 45: Shock To The System

After half-a-year’s respite, Dimensional Ink Games is finally gearing up to release a new DC Universe Online episode as Episode 45: Shock to the System makes its way to the public test server. The new episode will open the gates to Dakota City where players level 15 and above will be able to complete new daily and weekly missions.

Players will also be able to take on a new Duo, Alert, and Raid where they’ll be able to earn new gear, artifacts, augments, feats, and more. They’ll also be able to summon the hero of Dakota City, Static, to aid them in combat.

“Summon him during combat to hurl exploding projectiles at your foes while defending you with a shield made of scrap,” said the devs. “Use his Static Surge ability to increase your Critical Healing when Polarizing enemies. Use his Electric Overcharge to increase your Critical Ability and Weapon chance when using a Supercharge.”

Episode 45 will also introduce a new emote wheel, a new emote vendor, various changes to the On Duty menu, stability improvements, and a handful of bug fixes. Details can be found on the PTS patch notes on the DC Universe Online official site.
