Mass Effect 2 'Firewalker' DLC coming late March


Recommended Posts

ioWare has detailed another dose of Mass Effect 2 DLC, dubbed the "Firewalker" pack. The upcoming release includes five missions featuring the Hammerhead vehicle, according to an update on the Cerberus Network page, part of the official Mass Effect site. BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk described the Hammerhead as a "hover tank," during a recent interview with Joystiq, adding, "It's not a wheeled vehicle, so it's going to have a bit of a different control scheme" than did the much-maligned Mako vehicle featured constantly in Mass Effect 1.

On the website, the Hammerhead is promoted as "a heavy assault vehicle that hovers over the battlefield at up to 120 kilometers per hour [75 mph] and features a guided missile system ensuring accuracy even during aggressive maneuvering." In other words, it's everything the Mako wasn't -- and it's optional.

The Firewalker DLC pack is scheduled for a "late March" release and will be accessible free of charge through the Cerberus Network in-game delivery system. Of course, nothing's really "free" when it's got Cerberus' shady name attached to it, is it, Mr. Illusive Man?

Free? I wonder how extensive these missions are as well. I am glad they are getting DLC out sooner than later these days.

MAKO MAKO MAKO!!!

No bouncy planet fun, no sale. I think i must be the only person that liked the Mako.

Lol, it was an okay vehicle. Mass Effect 2 has that gigantic tank thingo I wanna drive, it's on the Krogan's homeworld, forgot the name.

So far it looks like the extra upfront for the Cerberus network has been worth it. Really looking forward to some DLC for ME2.

What extra upfront? If you bought your copy of ME2 new, the Cerberus Network should've been included with the game

Yeah, mine was free too.

Nice to see some free DLC making its way down the pipeline.

I wasn't thinking straight - I was at work and my mind wasn't completely on topic when I posted that...

Not all of us want to read through 50 pages of text to find the spot about the current thing. Huge catchall threads are way overrated.

I don't follow pc gaming for the most part.

You don't have to, it's in the Gaming forum, not the Computer Gaming subforum. ME2 is on several consoles and the PC, so it doesn't belong in a subforum.

Not that anyones likely to get all nitpicky about that, just saying.

You don't have to, it's new news. If you click 'get last post' there's current conversation about it.
