NIS America has published two free DLC packs for R-Type Tactics 1-2 Cosmos, now available for download on the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop. The DLCs add a new fighter variant plus a collection of alternate-color unit models, and players can equip these additions without spending in-game resources.
The first pack introduces the ARROW-HEAD G (GRA Ver.), granting the Rwf-9a [GRA] ARROW-HEAD [GRA] fighter and its Force, the F-A [GRA] STANDARD FORCE [GRA]. NIS America described these as special Granzella Revolutionary Army versions of their respective unit types, providing immediate access to the units in campaign play.
The second pack, titled Unit Color Variation Fighter Pack, supplies several alternate-color versions of units that are particularly useful early in the campaign. Included models are:
- R-E1bk MIDNIGHT EYE BK
- Rwf-9Abk ARROW-HEAD BK
- Rwf-9Ard ARROW-HEAD RD
- Rwf-9Agr ARROW-HEAD GR
- R-9B1bk STRIDER BK
- Rwf-9A+ ARROW-HEAD LATE MASS-PRODUCTION MODEL
According to the publisher’s release notes, once the DLCs are downloaded from the eShop the units become immediately available in your roster without consuming in-game resources. To equip the new fighters, players should assign them to squads via Roster > Reassign Unit during the Intermission phase of campaign play.
R-Type Tactics 1-2 Cosmos is available now on Nintendo Switch, and a Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade pack is offered for those moving to Nintendo’s next hardware. These complimentary DLC drops follow the game’s release and reflect continued post-launch support from NIS America and developer Granzella.
Players who own R-Type Tactics 1-2 Cosmos can find and download both free DLC packs from the Nintendo eShop on their Switch or Switch 2 systems. For more information on the game and other Switch releases, consult official publisher announcements and the eShop listings.
