Rockstar Games say in their newswire article announcing this content that you’ll be resolving rumors Author Theodore Levin has been hearing. For starters, there are a plague of undead is running through Armadillo. It’ll fall on you to retrieve several of these diseased corpses for scientific examination, if you can avoid infection and fend off attacks from a resurgent cell of nearby cultists.
Meanwhile a scientist claims he’s created artificial killing machines in the grounds of Braithwaite Manor. Plus something unholy lurks in the swamps of Lagras. You need to bring the swamp creature back for Theodore before the swamp folk get you.
Lastly, a missing scientist was most recently seen conducting strange research on murderers located in Tall Trees.
