Mass Effect 3 Rebellion Map Pack arriving next week
EA and Bioware have detailed a new map pack for Mass Effect 3 - the Rebellion Pack.
The pack will add five new character classes to the multiplayer experience alongside two new maps and three new weapons. The pack also adds a new objective which can randomly appear in missions and a new gear slot to equip items gained through reinforcement packs to.
The new characters are the Vorcha Soldier and Sentinel, Male Quarian Engineer and Infilrator and Ex-Cerberus Vanguard and Adept. Each character comes packing a different set of skills to every other character-type in their class. Some of the skills on offer are even all-new for multiplayer.
The two maps added in the pack, Firebase Jade and Firebase Goddess, let players battle it out against waves of enemies on a Salarian Outpost and on the Asari homeworld of Thessia. A new Shotgun, Assault Rifle and Sniper Rifle have also been added to the mix.
The new mission objective has players escorting a high-priority package to an extraction zone, while the new gear slot offers a first - a place to equip new, non-expiring gameplay bonuses obtainable through gear packs.
The pack lauches on Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and PC on this coming Tuesday May 29th - and is completely free of charge. Good on you, Bioware.
Bioware's got the full details over on their blog - but you can see some screens of the new additions below.
