I don't recall 4.1's being free. Steam still lists prices for it all and I don't think it's free on PS4 either. Humble Monthly included all the 4.1 DLC tho.
Weird? I know I got either one or both of them free on the PS4
Edit: I looked it up and the 2nd dlc pack was free as an apology for save system issues
It's not free, it's included in the price of the super-duper edition. I'll buy it later so I'll check the individual price then.
It's £5.79 in the UK, so probably 8 $/€

Good lord, the PSN store is such an infuriating disaster.
The DLC shows up on the psn store site for the US but not via the PS4. I have the deluxe edition and "bought" the dlc just now... it's still nowhere to be found on the PS4 in my downloads or library or through the store. They really need to torch the entire UX and go back to the drawing board *grumble grumble*

There's no download. I bought it and it just says 'purchased'. You'll see Mission Pack 1 when you load your save in game.
Right, I might not have been clear. It still doesn't show up anywhere.
Can you try using PSDLE from a PC to try and find it in your stuff? Sometimes new stuff doesn't get added to the top of the list.
Edit: Direct link to DLC 1 on US PSN
i did try that, but thanks! And tried restoring licenses... no luck.
Just deleted the whole game and re-downloading. Failing that, I'm having my bank charge them back for the sum of the game lol. It shouldn't be this hard.
Wait. Isn't chargeback the worst thing to do? I think Sony will ban your entire account if you do that...
Really? I didn't know that, yikes.
This isn't the first time I've had to jump through extremely arcane hoops to try to problem solve for their broken store. And their customer service is basically non-existent. What to do...?
When the enemies get stuck it's so frustrating. Just jumped on this evening to blast through a few levels and i'm on of 38 or with lots of spaceships dropping enemies and a large number of frog guys being pounded by air strikes and Railgun. Finally mopped everything up except One ship which is too high for me to shoot and won't come down. So it just drops some spi shoot them and we rinse/repeat. Going to have to do the whole thing over again.
Thats the worst. There have been times where bugs are on other sides of mountains and I just can't reach them and there is nothing I can do.
That doesn't sound like a glitch. Sometimes things are high up and you need a long range weapon. When you play missions for the first time it's always advisable to bring a sniper or rocket launcher, just in case.
Apologies if it actually was a glitch and I'm being patronising.
I went back and did it with a rocket launcher but I don't recall any missions needing specific weapons in previous games - easier with certain types, sure. But needing a long range/rocket launcher and not finding out until right at the end is a dick move if deliberate.
I recall many times in all EDF games where I was unable to shoot the spawner ships with my loadout.
There are some missions with exceptionally tall teleportation anchors or very long-legged Deroys that are impossible to shoot with some of the shorter ranged Ranger weapons. Usually the mission preview screenshot might give you a clue about upcoming enemies in that vein. Luckily I play with two others so there was usually a wing diver or air raider that could reach the enemies.
The DLCs are really good and the best weapons in the game are only available there. The bonus deluxe content is shit. So if Deluxe is cheaper than Base + Mission pack 1+ Mission pack 2 it's worth it. If it costs more you should buy the mission packs separately.
Just played Mission Pack 2 mission "Engage Teleportation Anchors 3" last night and we were able to finish it with three people with almost laughable ease. Once I started using the Wing Diver weapon Dragoon Lance M3, the towers were reduced to being nothing more than a house of cards. The final wave was finished with only one anchor able to actually spawn any enemies. It almost felt like cheating. This gun has superseded the Stardust Cannon in my mind for now, because of its greater damage outside of point blank range.
The Air Raider can usually kill the anchors with an airstrike before the spawns even reach you, sometimes so quickly that the anchors don't even get to activate. It's a bit tricky to see exactly where the lines have to go in order to hit the tops of the anchors but you can hit two or more per strafing run and immediately have the airstrike refilled from those kills.
I love that weapon for anchors, but I haven't used it much since unlocking the level 107 Phalanx. You lose some range but the damage is absurd, it stunlocks bosses, melts Cosmonauts, and blows away waves of silver spiders like they're made of tinfoil. There are times when Stardust is better, but generally I'm running with Phalanx + the 10-shot Raijin (which shoots through shield screens).
I'm only playing Hard difficulty for now, but I'll keep that in mind when I reach that level of power. Thanks.
Picked this absolute gem up in the Golden Week sale; so far I'm at mission 65, on Normal. 5 feels and plays like a straight upgrade to 4.1 - as much as I loved that game, I'm amazed at how much better 5 is. People are sleeping on what might be the PS4's best exclusive.
I've been playing 4.1 a bit, after getting the plat in 5. You're right, 5 improves on 4 in every way. And something I didn't realise until now is that 5 performs way better on my Pro. Perhaps because 5 is optimised for Pro and 4 is just using Boost Mode.
5's framerate still gets kicked in the balls now and then, but that's EDF!
I do like the better frame rate, but part of me likes it when the game lags like crazy because there are too many enemies on screen and my giant explosion caused the game to chug.
Accidentally posted this in the wrong thread (whoops!), but EDF 5 is getting a western physical release this summer.
Thanks for posting. Already have the Asian version like you, but will absolutely support the physical english release as well.
