Fable 2 Heros can now wield Hal's Rifle

by Dustin Burg { Jan 14th 2009 at 9:30AM }

Word on the web is that Fable 2's recently released Knothole Island DLC comes packed with a certain Halo'riffic surprise that'll not only tickle your inner Master Chief fanboy, but will also aid in eliminating any and all Hobbes.

Available for trade at "The Box of Secrets" store is a new weapon that's, coincidentally enough, named Hal's Rifle. This new rifle weaponry looks a lot like the classic Halo Assault Rifle and its name, well ... it's kinda obvious what Lionhead is going for. Sporting a decent 59 damage per shot, a range of 50, 24 shots per clip and an augment slot, Hal's Rifle is a smart purchase. Especially for those who are sporting Fable 2's other Halo'tastic apparel.

Wow, gotta work on getting that. Any idea which mystery box it is?

DBoyFlex @ Jan 14th 2009 9:48AM

It is the pure experience extract. You can buy that in Bowerstone Market I believe at the potion shop.

But how do you get more of the boxes to show up in the store? I can't find the pure XP one.

I think you have to first clear up the snow. If that is not the case, then clear up all of the weather and then they will be there. The lady talks about how the snow has kept her from getting new stuff, so clear that up, and then it should be there.

I need to buy some more MS Points. This DLC along with the Fallout 3 DLC will be great!

I'm willing to bet Dustin had insider news on this and this is why he plays Fable 2.

Dustin Burg @ Jan 14th 2009 11:40AM

Shhh, keep that on the down low.

New video of the weapon and clear pics added to the source!

Now if only the limited edition content was purchasable on the Xbox Live market place for a small fee...

hail2dking @ Jan 14th 2009 12:33PM

heros or heroes?

Xiphias @ Jan 14th 2009 12:54PM

I noticed this too

I once got a Mealy Apple from Wraithmarsh, and the description was:

'This apple has a worm in it. It's not a feature, it's just a bug.'

Oh, how I larfed!

Also, is this DLC free? On Marketplace there is an 800 pint one and a free one. They are both about 570 MB, so what's the difference?

DavidW @ Jan 14th 2009 2:28PM

The paid version gives you all the quests that go along with the island.

The free version only lets you play with a friend who has paid for the content.

jsutcliffe @ Jan 14th 2009 3:30PM

Free version just makes non-DLC buyers compatible with people who have the DLC for co-op, I believe.

Haven't had the chance to pick up the DLC yet but plan to by this weekend. This is a nice idea.. and I am sure to be grabbing this as my new rifle. Fancy!

I'm having an issue with the town that you have to kill the banshee at the end of the dock. My game will not let me interact or draw my weapons in the town. The banshee just sits there and I can't complete at least 4 quests that go through that town. Any help??
