There's a big patch behind the DLC

Extended Operations is released with update 1.3.0.IO Interactive claims more than 700 fixes and improvements: from crashes and progress blocks to weapon animations, localization, interface and sound.The studio emphasizes that further improvements and content are already in development.

For a game built around variable playthroughs, this is a particularly important update: now campaign replay is supported not only by the desire to choose a different route, but also by separate systems for a second run.
