Mass Effect 2

More Free Mass Effect 2 DLC on The Way Tomorrow
Written Monday, February 08, 2010 By Richard Walker

If you're the same kind of drooling, manic Mass Effect fan as myself and the Webb-meister, you'll have no doubt killed Mass Effect 2's story by now and considered tackling the game again on the insanity difficulty. Or if you are the Webb, you've 1000 pointed it already and are planning your third, fourth, fifth and sixth visits.

The rest of us mere mortals only just embarking on our second playthrough, or still playing the first one can look forward to more DLC to enhance the experience.

Log in to the Cerberus Network tomorrow and you'll be able to grab the new Cerberus Assault Armour and Eviscerator Shotgun for free.

Cerberus Assault Armour increases heavy weapon ammo capacity by +10%, shields by +10% and health by +10%.

The M-22a Eviscerator Shotgun is a longer-range shotgun with armour-piercing loads, which violates several intergalactic weapons treaties, meaning the gun isn't normal standard issue.

Check out BioWare's Mass Effect forum to learn more.

Now that does sound very nice. Im playing through wearin the Blood Dragon armour on my 4th playthrough, this seems like a nice change & a bit of fun on insanity. The shotgun, seems bad-ass (armour-piercing is always good).

Plus its FREE. I guess Bioware loves keeping their fans happy. I know i am........

If they keep pumping out little tidbits like this with the occasional big piece of content, I will be thoroughly impressed. Way to be, guys. One of my favorite games of the past few years.

Free = Good.
This is what comapnies should do.
I have no prob with DLC shortly after a games release if it's free . I love biowares approace to this, give all the new copies codes for the network and put free DLC on that. If you want the DLC from used ones you spend the 15$ and get it. This is what more people should do not charge 10$ for a 2mb download unlocking something on the disk (RE5)

Free DLC is always good, regardless if its crap or awesome!! But this looks like its awesome, so more points to Bioware!

Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 06:12:42 PM

I am stuck on the collector ship on insanity right now. Hopefully I can access the shotgun from the weapon's locker or I will be pissed because there is no available save that I can use to backtrack to the normandy

Nice! This stream of free-ness is fellin' right... Game is great but I've barely played it, only recruited three people! :(

Thanks you, Bioware! Keep it coming!

Comment #36 by institutions
Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 06:42:34 PM

@33 - I agree. Maybe throw in a horse, an amputee, and a midget for good measure.

Free DLC = good. Bioware rocks.

Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 06:48:16 PM

Lol free dlc is great but really what is with this new trend of DLC coming out within the month of a game's release? Couldn't they just include it in the final game then and take like an extra week?

Comment #39 by VladimirK
Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 06:50:24 PM

Awesome, I'll use that on my next playthrough =D

Hopefully some new achievements soon though :P

Alright guys I need help. Call me crazy but I didn't enjoy part 1. Should I give this one a try? Ive heard very good things and I'm thinking of buying it. Please help?

Comment #41 by Duken13
Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 07:17:59 PM

The armor is not that good when you think about it.
The customizable N7 armor can have both +10% ammo for normal and heavy guns with arm and thigh packs, +10% health with the webbed legs, +10% shields with the shield belt, etc etc.

These armors don't allow you to change parts, so they're actually not as good.

Pretty Cool. I had a feeling Bioware would release something on the launch of Bioshock 2. I've been playing this game straight since release so I am glad to take a break and get back to Rapture.

Comment #44 by Worzol
Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 07:46:05 PM

I was under the impression that in ME2 we were getting Robo-space ponies. I realise they would defy all logic, but it would be SO cash. But, I guess a shotgun is cool too . . .

I never pplayed Mass Effect but If i do pick up 2, will the DLC be free forever? Or is this for a limited time, so ill know to download and save this when i do rent/buy it.

I was hoping for a mission but free DLC is always good and new armor is nice. I am doing a fourth playthrough now of the game but am going to begin Dante's Inferno on Thursday. But I am glad to hear the news no less.

Nice. Kind of tired of looking at the Terminus armor and I rarely use the shotgun, so this should help change things up a bit.

nice, the cerberus armour was a preorder incentive on PLAY.com, good to see it making its way to all of us who werent wealthy enough/enclined to preorder it :)

Comment #62 by Night45Fox
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 12:40:29 AM

@11, While I agree with you it should be free, The Resident Evil 5 content for multi-player wasn't do able on the games current build, they actually used the 2 mb or whatever file to rework that coding.

It was only that small because it didn't use any new textures, maps, etc.

I'll get this as soon as I can pry myself away from Bioshock 2.

Comment #73 by Arenazombie
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 05:59:10 AM

Think Blood Dragon Armor had better stats anyway so ill guess ill stay with that for my insanity playthrough.
Also the shotgun could come in handy especially for Jacob as he always uses Shotguns for longe range.
Wonder if it is cumulative with fire rounds.

Guys I got a question, I will only be able to buy ME2 two weeks form now...if I buy the Cerberus Network then, will everything else still be free? (this dlc, and what came on launch day)

Comment #76 by Vigor
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 06:38:49 AM

Yes DXBlaze as long as you buy a new copy which includes the Cerberus Network code

When are they planning on releasing all those pre-order armours? Like the Inferno, CE , & the DA Armours? Dang...lucky those people who DLed them...

Comment #79 by Timmsy
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 07:41:48 AM

sweet, i jsut knicked the game of my brother as no point us both owning in so i will get to download these and he cant until i finished with it now haha :P

Comment #80 by Lord Montymort
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 07:59:26 AM

Aww, I have to admit I thought we where getting a new DLC mission not a weapon, must say I'm a little bit dissapointed.

@78: well if you want the DA armor just by a new version of Dragon Age it comes in the box, I highly doubt they'll put the CE armor up very few companys ever put CE stuff on the Marketplace because it would anger the people who, like me, got the collecters edition, but I could see them putting some of the Pre-order armor on in the future.

Comment #81 by Katarn84
Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 09:03:51 AM

@80

I do hope they put some of the preorder armors on marketplace. I bought the CE fron Gamestop, but Gamestop Italy didn't have any preorder bonus, more so the terminus armor here is exclusive fron Blockbuster... so I traveled twice the distance for nothing...

Nice!! These may come in handy on the Insanity playthrough. I think the only thing I don't have is the Inferno armour, pre-o'd the CE.
