This article lists the downloadable and other extra content for Just Cause 4. It also lists all game editions and the content they include. See Black Market (JC4) for smaller DLC.
Summary[]
Downloadable content (DLC) is any extra content for the game that is not a part of the normal base game. Some DLC is provided for free as an award for people who pre-ordered the game and others are sold separately. See also the "game editions and DLC" section at the Just Cause 4 article.
There are several known editions available for pre-order. The vendor-exclusive packs and items were announced separately on only vendor sites and there are still several months remaining, so it is very likely that there may be more DLC items available later. This wiki cannot guarantee that the below list includes every vendor-specific DLC bundle/pack that exists, because obviously there are thousands of stores on the internet.
The game's marketing is somewhat confusing, with different stores having different editions advertising different content. One can purchase the base game and then separately purchase DLC if they wish to own some but not all, but there are so many DLCs listed as a separate item, this is not advisable. Instead, one may want to choose one of the editions instead, as they include DLCs that are somewhat discounted when purchased as a bundle.
The reloaded edition has the base game with a little bit of extra content (added post-launch), the gold edition is the reloaded edition with the expansion pass (Dare Devils of Destruction, Los Demonios and Danger Rising), and the complete edition has everything that was ever released for the game.
See "Final game editions" for all editions of the game that you can buy as of today.

Smaller DLC packs[]
These contain one or two weapons and/or vehicles. Some are listed as "Black Market" (see below), while others are not. Note: it costs less to buy the complete edition than to buy the base game plus all of these packs individually.
Golden Shotgun and Renegade Rifle, both having counterparts in the game that function the same, are purchasable for $4.99 and $2.99 respectively (as of early 2019). Prices have likely changed over time.
Golden Shotgun: Gold-colored version of the PBX Auto-Slug 4. High damage and good range for a shotgun in primary fire. Secondary fire is much less accurate, but rounds ricochet off of surfaces, doing damage to the surface(s) they hit as well as any NPCs struck.
Renegade Rifle: Visually modified, white-and-gray version of the SW7-PBA Assault Rifle. Primary fire is a three-round burst, medium-range battle rifle. Secondary fire is the ability to spawn up to five drones, one at a time. Drones each have a mini machine gun, are quite agile, and follow Rico up to a certain distance. Drones can be spawned to attack certain objects, such as but not limited to Chaos Objects, occupied enemy vehicles and enemy infantry. Drones are "told" where to go by being released while Rico is aiming at the above types of objects.
The Dragon: Rocket launcher that can also launch mines. This was the winning design in a fan contest to design a DLC weapon.
Neon Racer Pack: This was at first one of the pre-order items. The pack contains a purple wingsuit, parachute and the fastest car in the game. The car has a "boost valve" (probably the same as the "nitros" on many of the default vehicles).
JC3 model of Rico: This is a free DLC that was made available in April 2019. It can be enabled and disabled in the same in-game customization menu that also activates different types of wingsuits and parachutes (if any are available).
Deathstalker Scorpion Rifle: This is a powerful rifle that seems to have been added to the "Deathstalker Scorpion Pack" at some point.
Deathstalker Assault Buggy: Part of the "Deathstalker Scorpion Pack", this is a modified Vagabundo Buggy with machine guns.
Black Market[]
Black Market (JC4): This is an in-game DLC advertisement that has been announced to release a new special vehicles pack each month for a year after game release (no longer being updated). Note: as of today, all smaller DLC packs can be bought from the Black Market and you don't need to preorder the game to own them. However, some packs are not listed as "Black Market" items on stores (namely, the "Digital Deluxe Content", "Deathstalker Scorpion Pack" and possibly more), but are included in some editions. Nevertheless, all DLC can be purchased seperately (or is included in editions), Black Market or not.
- "Toy Vehicles" pack includes a tiny tank, jet and boat.
- See also Toy Offroader, a car that was added to the game by an unannounced patch.
- "Soaring Speed vehicle vack" - Includes the Prisa Avispa C flying car and two versions of the Coyle Rattler hot rod.
- "Adversary Assault vehicle pack" - Includes an Agency X700 Flycatcher VTOL fighter and a Black Hand weaponized sports car Prospero Shade.
- "Sea Dogs vehicle pack" - Includes the SS Borracho amphibious truck that's shaped like an old wooden ship, armed with 7 cannons and Hellbender, a large weaponized Agency hovercraft.
- "Shark and Bark vehicle pack" - Includes the Thresher, a shark-shaped amphibious weaponized car and '84 Sheepdog, a furry dog-like car with a tail, tongue and ears. Both vehicles are easter eggs to movies.
- Brawler Mech - Weaponized vehicle unlike anything else in JC4. Similar to the JC3 mechs.
Free DLC[]
Legacy Pack: This is a free DLC that downloads automatically in a patch.
- Tuk-Tuk Boom Boom (JC4) (new version of the Tuk-Tuk Boom Boom from JC2, based on the Ritmo Rickshaw).
- Cluster Bomb Launcher (based on the Cluster Bomb Launcher from JC2).
- Chevalier Ice Breaker (JC4) (based on the Chevalier Ice Breaker from JC2).
- Rubber Ducky (based on the Rubber Ducky from JC3).
Many different wingsuit and parachute skins: In total, there must be about 30 of them, but we haven't bothered to count.
- Most of the different DLCs add wingsuit and parachute skins.
- Certain tasks in the game, like completing all locations, can unlock these.
- On December 16th, 2019, everybody was given a free holiday-themed set. These are blue with white snowflake patterns.
DLC roadmap and several DLCs announced[]
This was announced here on 2019.03.07. See also Just Cause 4 Patch history.
Note: all mentioned content is either free or can be bought from the Black Market.
"We've also added a little gift for all you double denim fans out there. Included in the patch update is a free Legacy Item – The Just Cause 3 Rico outfit! This is just one of the free Legacy Items we have planned. We hope to share more about Legacy Items soon. You can access the JC3 Rico skin from the updated customisation menu.
"We know that a lot of fans have asked about DLC and future content for Just Cause 4. We have put together a roadmap that shows some of the upcoming updates to the game. We will of course be sharing news on DLC3 and other content down the line closer to their launch. Please note that some of these timings may change but we will keep you up-to-date via this blog."
"As you can see, we’ve split this timeline between free and premium content. As well as the expected DLC packs we’re also going to be releasing more legacy item updates for free, and continuing to patch updates into the game."
"We are also pleased to reveal that we’ll be launching a free monthly challenge program starting with the launch of DLC2. These Monthly Challenges will test even the most skilled JC players. Completing each challenge will earn you cosmetic rewards for your wingsuit & parachute – we will be talking more about Monthly Challenges closer to launch."
Expansion Pass[]
Just Cause 4 has a total of 3 large expansion packs. These add several new locations, chaos objects, characters, short stories, vehicles, weapons, enemies and more.
Initially the packs were called "Daredevils" (in some places Dare Devils), "Demons" and "Danger". A very brief trailer for the expansion packs was released on October 31, 2018, in which the packs were renamed to "Dare Devils", "Los Demonios" and "Agency Strikes Back". The "Dare Devils" was later renamed again to "Dare Devils of Destruction". "Agency Strikes Back" was then renamed again to "Danger Rising".
Examples of news articles about the DLC packs: 1 and 2.
Dare Devils of Destruction[]
Main articles: Dare Devils of Destruction and Category:Dare Devils of Destruction.
There are 3 underground gangs who used to make money by smuggling forbidden items during the Espinosa regime. This was a lucrative business for them, so they're not happy with Rico and his Army of Chaos. Rico now tries to win their respect by taking on their destructive motoring events. The events unlock a number of different weaponized sports cars.
Los Demonios[]
Main article: Los Demonios and Category:Los Demonios.
In this expansion an ancient demonic threat is released from Isla De Los Annilos and Rico has to fight off swarms of giant insects (Demons) and defeat infestations of huge plant-based enemies. The story also expands the lore of the Qacha people and provides new weapons: Demon Crossbow and Demon Egg and Tendrilizer.
Danger Rising[]
Main article: Danger Rising and Category:Danger Rising.
This pack was initially known as "Danger", before being renamed to "Agency Strikes Back".
This will be the third expansion pack for Just Cause 4. The Agency returns, bringing with them advanced technology, secret weapons and specially trained operatives. Agent Miller is sent to Solís, commanding a big task force of several large submarines from the USS Statesman. He is tasked with hunting down and eliminating the former agents Rico Rodriguez and Tom Sheldon. The DLC ends with a relatively big reveal.
The DLC is released on August 29 (or September 5, depending on the game version / expansion pass ownership).
Final game editions[]
The final editions of the game, named "Reloaded edition", "Gold edition" and "Complete edition" were announced on 2019.11.07. Some pre-order items were added to the previously existing gold edition and the other two are completely new bundles. As of today, one cannot buy the base game itself, at least not on Steam. This is because the game edition with the least DLCs is the "Reloaded edition", which has the free "Legacy pack" and a few other things (see the table). The so-called "Digital deluxe edition" seems to have been completely scrapped (no longer available), at least on Steam.
See the pictured table for a listing of what each bundle contains. Refer to sections above if you're confused.
There are also "promotional copies", which seem to be normal base games, except that that the game box and game disk have a warning on them that says "Promotional copy not for resale" and "Promotional disk not for resale". These may have been distributed for free (needs confirmation).
Outdated leaks and rumors of future DLC items[]
This section features leaked information that was eventually all released, or cancelled.
Supply drop image with future items[]
A leaked supply drop image from march, or april of 2019 showed a number of future DLC items. Most of the listed items have already been released since the leak occurred:
- The Dragon rocket launcher.
- Two weaponized muscle cars. Possibly the Excorpión.
- "Hot rod" named Coyle Rattler (part of the "Soaring Speed Vehicle Pack").
- Flying car that folds its wings backwards when on ground called Prisa Avispa C (part of the "Soaring Speed Vehicle Pack").
- The three vehicles that were released with the "Toy Vehicles Pack" in the Black Market (JC4).
- Hellbender. It's a large Agency hovercraft from the "Sea Dogs vehicle pack".
- SS Borracho. Wooden ship with cannons. This is a part of the "Sea Dogs vehicle pack".
- Chevalier Ice Breaker. This is a part of the "Legacy Pack" free DLC.
- Rubber Ducky. This is a part of the "Legacy Pack" free DLC.
- Tuk-Tuk Boom Boom. This is a part of the "Legacy Pack" free DLC.
- VTOL jet fighter. This was later confirmed as the X700 Flycatcher in the "Adversary Assault Vehicle Pack".
- Some sports car. This was later confirmed as the Prospero Shade in the "Adversary Assault Vehicle Pack".
The only still unknown item is the armored train, resembling the Black Hand trains with smaller turrets. The AR scan shows the same symbol on Sandstinger turret train cars.
Other leaks and rumors[]
- Someone found a "Cluster Bomb Launcher" file in the JC4 file directory. This became a part of the "Legacy Pack" free DLC. See Cluster Bomb Launcher.
- A hovercraft could also be found in the game files prior to DLC launch. This one was also confirmed by the above leaked picture and turned out to be the Hellbender.
- The list of game controls lists controls for a "Brawler Mech". The Brawler Mech was released a few weeks after the controls appeared.
- A short promotional video on October 4th 2019 teased the SS Borracho wooden ship, the '84 Sheepdog hairy dog-car and something that resembles the gravity-weapon arm of a JC3 mech. The first two have been released as the "Shark and Bark vehicle pack" and the mech was released later as a separate DLC.
Outdated rumors information ends here.
Can't find DLC items?[]
Most DLC items (vehicles and weapons) will appear in the supply drop. This becomes unlocked after one of the earliest storyline missions. Once there, be sure to notice that the supply drop has multiple tabs. The first tab is a long list of everything and the others are sorted into smaller groups. If you can't find something that you think you should have, look at every tab.
The larger expansion packs each require completing specific early storyline missions:
- Dare Devils of Destruction - Requires The Illapa Project.
- Los Demonios - Requires The Secret History of Solís and Garland King's New Star.
- Danger Rising - Requires Agency Distress Beacon.
