New Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer Update Improves Cerberus Enemies

BioWare has just posted a brand new balancing update for the multiplayer mode in Mass Effect 3, this time drastically improving the difficulty of enemies from the Cerberus faction.

Mass Effect 3 came out back in March and, since then, BioWare took great care of both its single-player and its multiplayer modes with new downloadable content, like the recent Extended Cut or Rebellion packs, as well as with patches and updates.

The newest balancing update for Mass Effect 3’s multiplayer has now gone live and, as opposed to previous ones that mostly improved weapons or powers, this one greatly enhances the abilities of enemies from the Cerberus factions.

As such, opponents like the Guardian, Nemesis, Atlas, or even the Turret that’s deployed by Cerberus Engineers have all seen their health, shields, and armor improve drastically across all difficulty levels, from bronze, to silver or gold.

Check out the changes from this week’s balance update below.

Collector Assault Rifle - Damage increased from [48.7-60.9] to [55.4-69.2] - Encumbrance decreased from [1.8-1.25] to [1.6-1.2]

- (Bronze) Armor increased from 7500 to 9000 - (Silver) Armor increased from 12940 to 14000 - (Gold) Armor increased from 21094 to 23000 These changes have already taken effect, so you shouldn’t be too surprised to see Cerberus enemies die much harder in online matches.
