Well, two items of good news – my Xbox LIVE connection came back to life yesterday! So, now I can triumphantly return to ME3 and game with you guys :)

A victory has been won for the original fans of Mass Effect, as it has been revealed that the M7 Lancer will be making its way to Mass Effect 3 through the upcoming Reckoning DLC. Complete 3 of the Spectre Mastery Challenges Current progress: 2/3 Challenge points: 500 Points Earned Earn 25000000 Points Current progress: 2270000 Challenge points: 100 Times Completed: 1.

But more importantly, I missed the boat a few days ago on the new Mass Effect 3 DLC – apparently some people have already mined the recent update (thread on Reddit) for info on the new DLC.

Mass Effect 3 Lancer Vs Avenger

“The day of reckoning is nigh! The Reckoning Multiplayer Expansion brings six new never before seen co-op story missions to the game and new co-op gameplay modes. It provides four new maps to conquer and hazard variations of the Earth maps. It also enables reinforcement packs that offer new kits for the salarians, krogans, humans and volus. In-game reinforcement packs now include three new weapons (Chakram Launcher, Blood Pack Punisher and Adas Anti-Synthetic Rifle).”

Wow, six new missions and co-op modes? Awesome! I’m not sure what “new kits for salarians, krogans, humans, and volus” refers to – maybe race-specific gear? Or is it too much for me to hope for new characters? :)

What have you guys heard about this new DLC? Any thoughts on when it will be released? Let me know in comments!

Why spend your valuable time exploring every nook and cranny in Mass Effect 3 for conveniently dropped weapon upgrades when someone on the internet has already do it? The videos above (and below) reveal the best hidden of the upgrades needed to make your trip through the galaxy that much easier and much more explosive, and they're worth checking if you plan to play the game to completion.

Courtesy of PlaystationWorld, this 25 minutes of footage will be a godsend if you just can't resist the lure of having every single weapon at its peak. From knives to scopes, everything you'll ever need is waiting to be found, tossed aside by oddly careless people who can obviously afford to dump important pieces of equipment for any old person to pick up. And it still makes more sense than finding shot gun shells in long-abandoned catacombs in Tomb Raider.
