The insectoid Collectors - or a portion of them, at any rate - were last seen getting squashed at the end of Mass Effect 2. Existing maps have also been updated with 'hazard' versions, where you'll have to contend with 'Acid, Lightening, Meltdowns, Sandstorms, Swarms and Whiteouts'.īut the star of the show will be the Collectors themselves - it's the first time a new enemy type has been added since Mass Effect 3 launched, and the first new race added that did not appear in the main story campaign. A new Challenge feature rewards specific objectives with challenge points, to be spent on multiplayer titles and banners. There's also new set of Collector-themed weapons, new ammo types and new gear items. It is the biggest multiplayer DLC pack yet, with six new maps (triple the usual quota) and 16 new characters, including the Krogan Shaman Adept, Asari Huntress Infiltrator, Turian Havoc Soldier and Batarian Brawler Vanguard. Mass Effect 3: Retaliation will be available to download for free from 9th October (likely meaning a 10th October release date here on PlayStation 3). A huge new Mass Effect 3 multiplayer expansion will see the return of the Collectors - the enemy race Shepard fought in Mass Effect 2.
