Today, Bioware launched the latest DLC pack for their outer space gun-packing dance of bravura, Mass Effect 2. The Equalizer Pack is DLC that adds new items and armor to help Shepard stop the Collectors from harvesting all of the human race. Players who wish to play dress-up with Shepard in these new duds can purchase the DLC pack on Xbox Live or via Bioware’s Social Network for the PC version.
The Equalizer Pack introduces the Capacitor Helmet, Archon Visor, and Inferno Armor to Shepard’s armor locker. The Capacitor Helmet expedites shield recharge, thanks to its stored power designed to assist kinetic barriers. It also looks super sweet and will catch the blue eyes of every passing Asari babe. The Archon Visor beefs up Shepard’s omni-tools and biotics, shortening the recharge time of related powers as well as helping the wearer see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Finally, the Inferno Armor features full power augmentation, which will speed up Shepard’s movements and strengthen tech and biotic attacks. The armor also gives Shepard an extra bargaining chip in negotiations outside of combat thanks to the built-in stress analysis software. Shepard will dish out the finest smack talk known to the galaxy while wearing the Inferno Armor.
Think $2 is too much for DLC?
What all of this technical talk really means is that when Shepard wears Equalizer, he will become a one man army capable of taking on even the largest Krogran at an arm wrestling match while drinking one of Illium’s famous Mystery Drinks and negotiating the surrender terms of a corrupt Volus at the same time. Equalizer—when the armor goes on, the gloves come off.
The Equalizer Pack DLC can be purchased on Xbox Live for 160 MS points, or for PC via Bioware’s Social Network for 160 Bioware points. For those not hip to either currency jive, the DLC is worth about $2 US dollars.
