Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer Balance Changes Improves Rifles, Toughens Atlas Mechs

BioWare has deployed its weekly balancing update for the multiplayer mode in Mass Effect 3, this time improving quite a few of the assault rifles in the game, while increasing the health and shields of the Cerberus Atlas mechanized robots.

Mass Effect 3’s multiplayer is a huge hit as quite a lot of people are busy playing it either with friends or complete strangers.

As we saw with the N7 Goliath Challenge that ran during the weekend, players are more than willing to push their skills to the limit, so BioWare has now released a new balancing update for the online mode.

The biggest changes are made to a series of assault rifles, including the Phaeston, Revenant, or Falcon, but also to the Claymore shotgun, as well as to the Combat Drone and the Sentry Turret wielded by different engineer classes.

Players will encounter a tougher challenge when facing off against the Atlas Mechs from the Cerberus faction on the Silver or Gold Challenge modes, as their health and shields have seen a major increase.

Check out the full list of changes below.

Phaeston Assault Rifle - Damage increased from [29.7-37.2] to [34.7-42.2]

- (Silver) Armor increased from 11250 to 12940 - (Silver) Shields increased from 11250 to 12940 - (Gold) Armor increased from 16875 to 21094 - (Gold) Shields increased from 16875 to 21094 Expect BioWare to keep on making weekly balance changes to the multiplayer depending on the feedback from the community.
