14 DAY TRIAL // BioWare, in between confirming that its two founders are retiring from the gaming industry and that more DLC is coming for its recent Mass Effect 3, has also posted a new balance update for the game's multiplayer mode.
Mass Effect 3 has been around for quite some time and, despite being launched in March, it's been supported by plenty of DLC and updates, both for its single-player campaign and its online multiplayer.
Now, the weekly balance update for the game's cooperative mode has just been released and quite a few things are included, like an all new Rare weapon, in the form of the Argus Assault Rifle.
What's more, besides this new gun, the update also buffs a variety of other rifles, including three snipers and the Locust SMG, which now boast better stats and damage outputs.
Check out the full list of changes that are part of the new balance update for Mass Effect 3 below.
