Mass Effect 2 gets DLC armour, weapon tomorrow
Mass Effect 2′s Cerberus Network will add new items to the RPG tomorrow, namely some armour and a shotgun. Fighty.
Here’s what you’re going to get, as confirmed here:
Cerberus Assault Armor
Cerberus assault armor is designed for shock troops, turn the tide of battle against creatures or forces that would decimate normal soldiers.
Increases heavy weapon ammo capacity by +10%
Increases shields by +10%
Increases health by +10%M-22a Eviscerator Shotgun
The M-22a Eviscerator Shotgun is a longer-range shotgun with armor-piercing loads. This design also violates several intergalactic weapons treaties, so the M-22a is not distributed to militaries.
There are some screens of the super-hot armour in action here.

Yeah, but it’s only really usable at close range. I tried close range on insane difficulty…
…very, very briefly.

The krogan shotgun is badass, but you can only fire one shot every 10 minutes or something stupid.

Insanity mode is going to be tough to beat, its best going on with the main story and forgetting all the side quests.

@Ecu
No its not every 10 mins don’t know where you got that info. It reloads slower then most weapons by like half a second but thats what cover is used for. I played with it extensively with my Vanguard. Yes I wouldn’t recommend that class on Insanity.
Edit: Also disappointed with the armor because again helmet in the way. Also seems to be for being durable.

/facepalm
I’m deliberately over-exaggerating because it’s a very slow firing weapon. I didn’t literally mean it was every ten minutes, but it’s frustratingly slow.

I never found it frustrating slow. Yeah its no Assault rifle or SMG but thats what you sacrifice with its power the amount of ammo and its reload. Sniper rifles seem to reload slower then that shotgun.

The game needs more SMG and Heavy Pistols. There’s already a special sniper and shotgun and collectors assault rifle.
