Thank you so much! I can verify that this works even when using the "Xlive" .dll and .ini files from PCGamingWiki to bypass the crappy GFWL DRM.

For anyone trying to do this on steam deck this will help you find the \Users folder if the maps aren't showing up

I've seen many people in other discussions with same issue. Some of them has solved it by restarting PC in safe mode, I've tried too, but there is nothing changed after that.

If you have the weapons, but not the armor then I'm stumped. The armor should be unlocked with the weapons.
Herr Metzger 29 Mar, 2022 @ 1:08pm 
Well, there is standard, aegis and stealth armors, but not blitz. Napalm mortar and incendiary rounds for shotgun are available, but I'm not sure if they was available in game without DLCs or not.

It's in the armor customization screen, just a reskin, should appear if dlc 2 is activated.

Thank you for your guide. Funny, but I've did not delete "requireddlcid" lines, just replaced their values with 0, and it works. Also, is there a way to activate blitz armor if it is not shown in selection menu?

Finally got it.. Had to do ALL 3 Steps.. The first 2 steps didnt work but after the 3rd step the maps now appear! TYSM!

@[FX] GanjaCommando Did you purchase the dlc and try the steps above? You'll have to provide more details about what you have done and what isn't showing up. The map packs are pretty obvious, but the overdrive pack literally just adds some armor and guns so they are pretty easy to over look.
