Stealth-Focused DLC Expands Tunguska with Shadow Gameplay

Tunguska: Shadow Master elevates the base game's stealth mechanics with a comprehensive DLC that puts players deeper into the shadows. This expansion centers around Haruko's mysterious backstory while introducing new gameplay modes that challenge traditional combat approaches. Fans of stealth-based gameplay will find substantial new content designed specifically for those who prefer staying hidden.

Sticks and Stones Mode Removes Firearms Entirely

The standout addition is "Sticks and Stones" mode, which strips away all firearms and forces players to rely exclusively on melee weapons and grenades. This constraint fundamentally changes combat encounters, pushing players toward more tactical approaches. The mode transforms familiar scenarios into puzzles where positioning and timing matter more than firepower. Every engagement becomes a calculated risk.

Hitman Questline Reveals Haruko's Hidden Past

After completing Haruko's base game missions and delivering crucial military documents, players can unlock an extensive hitman questline. These assassination contracts provide blood money rewards while gradually unveiling Haruko's complete life story through narrative segments. The questline serves dual purposes - offering challenging stealth objectives while answering long-standing questions about one of the game's most enigmatic characters.

New Arsenal Emphasizes Silent Elimination

The weapon selection reflects the DLC's stealth focus. The Combat Knife enables fast stealth kills against humans and deals bonus damage to unaware ghouls, while the Sledge Hammer crushes through armor with devastating blunt force. The Ballistic Knife offers silent ranged elimination at close quarters and pairs with the Ballistic Shield. Explosive-Tip Bolts for crossbows add destructive options, and Smoke Grenades provide escape routes when stealth fails.

Death Shroud Armor Enhances Nighttime Infiltration

The new Death Shroud Stealth Armor reduces both visual detection at night and footstep noise, making it essential gear for serious infiltrators. This specialized equipment works alongside the expanded stealth mechanics to create more viable approaches to challenging encounters. The armor represents a significant upgrade for players who've mastered the base game's stealth systems.

PC Platform Requirements and Content Notes

Available on PC, the DLC requires completion of all base game Haruko quests before accessing the hitman content. Players must deliver the military documents and request an interview to begin the new storyline. Note that Italian translation remains in progress due to the substantial amount of story content included in Haruko's expanded narrative sections.
