14 DAY TRIAL // BioWare has posted its weekly balance update for Mass Effect 3’s multiplayer mode, this time improving some more weapons and increasing the stats for several powers, chief among which being the Singularity.
Mass Effect 3’s multiplayer mode has proved to be extremely successful, not just because it delivers an intense experience, but also thanks to the special weekend operations ran by BioWare and the weekly balance update that served to keep the experience as fair as possible.
After the sweeping changes made by the studio with last week’s update, this new one modifies fewer weapons but also enhances quite a few powers.
In terms of weapons, the update has improved all sorts of guns, from the Hurricane SMG, to shotguns like the Eviscerator or the Scimitar.
Lots of powers have also seen their effects increased, with the most important being the Singularity, which is now much more powerful, as is the Adrenaline Rush, the Concussive Shot or the Marksman.
