Hangar 6 R&D takes place before the events of The Bureau, with players taking control of the new protagonist Agent Nico DaSilva and his squad; they volunteer for secret psycho-medical experiments in order to save a fellow Bureau agent that's infected with the "Sleepwalker" pathogen.

This story-driven DLC explores the 1960s Cold War by tranporting players to a new location known by the Bureau agents as Hangar 6. Players will be able use more dangerous weapons like the AK-47, and even try out the prototype Microwave Gun. It cooks enemies from the inside out. Yea… badass. DaSilva also has some new power and perks that are based on his "plant and trigger" bomb abilities.
