New Mass Effect 2 DLC Tomorrow
Bioware's already coming through with more DLC for Mass Effect 2. Although, while many of us have been hoping that the next offering would be the hammerhead tank and a handful of new missions, that's not the case just yet. No, this time we're being given...new armor! Of course, the download will be made free of charge for members of the Cerberus Network. No word on whether or not it will be free for everyone else, or will be the first piece of optional, paid DLC for non-CN users.
Here's Chris Priestly's post from the Bioware Forums:
On Tuesday February 09 2010 Mass Effect 2 fans will be able to get the new Cerberus Assault Armor and M-22a Eviscerator Shotgun DLC fof free through the Cerberus network. It should be available for all fans, both on PC and Xbox 360 at 12:00pm Mountain Standard Time.
Cerberus Assault Armor Cerberus assault armor is designed for shock troops, turn the tide of battle against creatures or forces that would decimate normal soldiers.
Increases heavy weapon ammo capacity by +10%
Increases shields by +10%
Increases health by +10%
M-22a Eviscerator Shotgun
The M-22a Eviscerator Shotgun is a longer-range shotgun with armor-piercing loads. This design also violates several intergalactic weapons treaties, so the M-22a is not distributed to militaries.
You can learn more about the Cerberus Assault Armor in a Arsenal update with screenshots of the armor in action here: http://masseffect.bioware.com/universe/arsenal/armor/
Sounds pretty nice to me. I'll be downloading it and adding it to my closet, but until these DLC armors feature the option to toggle the helmet on and off(and it's seeming unlikely that they'll ever have that feature), I won't be using them. The shotgun, on the other hand, might get me to actually start using it. Sure, my Vanguard is trained in them, but they seem so much less useful than in Mass Effect 1.
Okay, my rant's over. Check this out when it becomes available tomorrow afternoon.
