Bavarium Sea Heist is the third and final downloadable content in the Air, Land & Sea Expansion pack for Just Cause 3.

Description

Story-wise the events begin where the last mission of the Mech Land Assault left off, with the Black Hand on a boat to the Stingray, regardless of where the base-games storyline is at the moment. As with the other DLCs, once downloaded, it becomes unlocked after passing a few of the first storyline missions.

This DLC pack takes place at sea, at the "Stingray Area" - a set of several enormous off-shore rigs where the eDEN Corporation once researched weather and electricity. The research base can control lightning. After an accident, the base was abandoned. Now it is controlled by the Black Hand who are using it for their "Global change project". It's up to Rico to stop them.

In addition to two missions and a group of off-shore floating bases, the DLC will add a weaponized jet-boat and a hand-held lightning-gun.

See Category:Bavarium Sea Heist for everything to do with this DLC.

On Steam the download is about 2.4 GB.

Trivia

• Using electricity to manipulate weather is something that has been researched by real governments during the second half of the 20th century. The only somewhat effective weather control technology is the so-called "cloud seeding", however there are many conspiracy theories about government weather machines on the internet. Most of them involve the "High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program".
