Expanded duties at the State of Franklin border

With Franklin now accessible, your jurisdiction stretches far beyond the familiar streets of Brighton. Two major border inspection stations form the heart of the new expansion, offering a fresh gameplay loop built around careful observation, consistency, and instinct.

Inside the inspection offices, officers must assess passports, IDs, cargo manifests, and travel papers, all while questioning drivers to verify their stories. Outside, they’re responsible for managing queues, maintaining order, inspecting vehicles from cars to heavy trucks, and responding to unexpected issues along the checkpoint.

This shift toward analytical, controlled gameplay adds a welcome contrast to the standard patrol loop, encouraging players to slow down, look closer, and trust their investigative skills.

Advanced inspection tools and new patrol equipment

A border zone requires serious equipment, and the Contraband Expansion delivers. Officers gain access to a suite of new technology designed to uncover hidden risks and ensure accurate checks:

• Biometric kiosk for confirming identities
• X-ray scanner to reveal illegal cargo
• Substance analyzer for on-the-spot verification
• Titan Police Vehicle with dedicated Border Patrol skin
• New Border Patrol Uniform Skin for on-foot duties

Watchtowers and binoculars let players monitor the perimeter and flag suspicious behaviour, while fence maintenance adds an extra layer of realism to the new environment.

Whether on foot or behind the wheel, officers now have a wider toolkit than ever to keep the border secure.

New scenarios, challenges, and escalating encounters

Border security isn’t just paperwork, and this DLC proves it. Inspections can escalate quickly, turning routine checks into tense confrontations or full-speed pursuits.

Drivers may flee inspection lanes, refuse questioning, or attempt to bypass security checks. Pair the Contraband Expansion with the Highway Patrol DLC, and these incidents can spill onto the surrounding highways in fast-paced chases.

A new non-lethal shotgun supports safer takedowns, ensuring officers can control volatile situations responsibly. All scenarios are fully playable in multiplayer, with DLC-sharing enabled so partners can join the action even if only one owns the expansion.
