BioWare video shows off Blood Dragon Armor in Mass Effect 2
Those who already own Dragon Age: Origins received a code for the Blood Dragon Armor, which is also usable in Mass Effect 2, although it will look more spacey.
Announced back in October, the armor code is only redeemable once but if you bought the game used, you can get it for $10 through the EA store.
However, those who don’t have DAO, should know what they’re missing out on – increased power damage by 15 percent and shield strength by 10 percent – so BigDownload has posted a video showing it off.
It’s posted below the break.
ME2 was released on January 26 in the US and January 29 in Europe.
