14 DAY TRIAL // Some more details have appeared about the upcoming Resurgence Pack DLC for Mass Effect 3’s multiplayer, including info about the abilities of the new classes, the fresh maps and the upcoming weapons that are a part of the free add-on.
BioWare presented a big part of its DLC plans for Mass Effect 3 last week, confirming that the special Extended Cut add-on will be out in summer to clear up the controversial ending, and revealing that those who enjoy the multiplayer will get the Resurgence Pack later this week.
We already know what’s included in the upcoming DLC, namely new characters for existing classes, two new maps, as well as some fresh weapons and new consumables.
Now, some more details have appeared, via the PlayStation Blog, including a list of the abilities that are wielded by the new characters, from the Batarians to the Geth or the imposing Krogan Vanguard.
Asari Justicar Adept – By the code, you will annihilate your enemy. Use the new Biotic Sphere ability to protect your allies and unleash deadly biotic powers to rip the opposition apart. Batarian Soldier – Get up close and personal with the Ballistic Blades and Blade Armor abilities. The Batarian Soldier is an expert at being on the front lines and pummeling the enemy into submission. Geth Infiltrator – Ever cursed the Geth Hunter’s name? Well now you get to be one. Cloak, sneak up on enemies and scan them through walls with Hunter Mode. Or hang back and rain sniper fire from distance. Batarian Sentinel – Trap enemies with the Submission Net then unleash on them when they are unprotected. As with other Sentinels the Batarian can use tech and biotic abilities, ensuring he is prepared for any situation Geth Engineer – Drop a Geth Turret and keep the pressure on your foe, all the while resurging your team’s shields. The Geth Engineer is a great support and utility character, key to any squad’s success. Krogan Battlemaster Vanguard – You might find yourself yelling your best Krogan battlecry when you use the Biotic Charge ability. To help protect yourself in the heat of battle, activate the Biotic Barrier ability and become the ultimate Battlemaster. A few more details have also appeared about the new maps included in Resurgence: Firebase Condor and Firebase Hydra.
- Condor is a Turian warzone outpost and a crucial asset in the defense of their homeworld, Palaven. The cool thing about Condor is you can actually see the galactic war happen all around you. Ships are taking off, Reapers are looming in the background, and in the distance Palaven is burning.
- Hydra is located on an abandoned Quarian colony that has since been converted to an enormous power station. Protecting both of these firebases is absolutely critical in the defense against the Reaper attack. Last but not least, the weapons from the DLC have also been detailed a bit more, so check them out below.
Striker Assault Rifle – Developed by Krogans, this rifle fires deadly explosive rounds. Its rate of fire increases the longer the trigger is held. Great for suppressing fire and crowd control. Kishock Harpoon Gun – Deadly one-shot Batarian weapon. Launch lethal harpoons at your enemies and cause bleed damage over time. Geth Plasma SMG – Fully-automatic Geth submachine gun. Similar to the Striker Assault Rifle, this Geth SMG’s rate of fire ramps up the longer it’s fired. Make sure to equip an SMG Magazine Upgrade to unleash an unstoppable barrage of plasma. Mass Effect 3’s Resurgence Pack DLC is out tomorrow, April 10, for Xbox 360 and PC users from all around the world. PS3 users in North America will also get it tomorrow, while European users will have to wait until April 11 to get their hands on the content mentioned above.
