Band of Bugs/Downloadable Content

There are currently four packages of in-game downloadable content (sometimes shortened to DLC) on the Xbox Live Marketplace. As with many games, there are also a number of gamer pictures and themes. This section will only cover the content that affects the game directly.

Single Player Campaigns
Red Kingdom Price: 250 Microsoft Points Availability: All regions with Xbox Live can download this content. Details: Red Kingdom is currently the only story mode download for Band of Bugs. It consists of a campaign similar to Maal's Story, but is ten missions long rather than twenty, though the missions are considered to be of a higher difficulty level. This content pack also introduces two new bugs, the Cavalry and Siege units, and a tile set called Red Rock. The tiles override some of the maps originally included with the game, and are also available for use with the Band of Bugs level editor. The update also utilized Microsoft's Gamerscore Policy by adding two new Achievements, which can be viewed on the Achievements page. Users may not be able to unlock these Achievements, there was initially a glitch with the awards not being on Microsoft's server before the content was released, and it is unclear weather they are still flawed.
