Mass Effect 3 N7 Challenge Weekend: April 6th

Mass Effect 3 N7 Challenge Weekend: April 6th

Take part in Operation Beachhead

Written by punkyliar on 06 April 12 at 17:47 | Credit to The AuD Doc

This weekend's N7 Challenge weekend has been revealed by Bioware; we go back to XP bonuses in Operation Beachhead.

Operation Beachhead


Warfare enters the unconventional category as allied forces have matched krogan mercs and batarians with asari justicars. The aim is to create resistance on Reaper-occupied planets so that local reapers can be tied down. All forces that take part in any Theatre of War against any foe will receive a 25% Experience Bonus.

Note: Participants need to set “Upload Gameplay Feedback” to “on” in the online options to be able to participate in Operation Beachhead.

Last weekend's Operation Raptor met with huge success after totalling over 350,000 promoted characters. This means that Victory Packs will be rewarded to all of the participants from last week.

Operation Beachhead is active now and will run until 5AM PST on Tuesday, April 10th.

Meh, rather have credits then XP honestly. XP is good for CoD games to rank up and unlock stuff, but nothing really like that in the ME3!

This is such a shame, it would have been better to have gotten a 25% credit bonus instead.

People glitched out the commendation packs to get multiple ones so you're going to have to wait til next week.

The weapons are pretty weak from what I've read.
I've got the pistol and it's garbage.
The sniper is good but it won't replace your widow.

Yes, credits is where it's at with this game - XP is a bit of a waste of time for the most part.

Another 25% EXP bonus weekend? I think that would've been more appropriate for next weekend so people will have more chances to max out the new characters. I'm waiting for a credit bonus weekend or, better yet, something similar to the Brute challenge (require the community to kill a bunch of specific enemies, then make them spawn frequently). Fighting 4+ Brutes at once was fun.

Love this game. Looking forward to all weekend challenges and DLC. I'm also in the boat having not received either pack from the past weekends challenge. Hopefully they deliver them to us next week as promised on the Bioware forums.

HybridPK said:Another 25% EXP bonus weekend? I think that would've been more appropriate for next weekend so people will have more chances to max out the new characters.You are aware that XP is for the entire class, not individual characters, right? If you've got a level 20 Vanguard class, that new Krogan Battlemaster will zoom straight to level 20 when you name him wink

As for the N7 weapons we're getting with the commendation packs (Operations Goliath and Raptor) - I have the sniper rifle from Goliath but currently don't use it because I've not encountered an upgrade for it in any of the recruit/veteran/spectre packs I've unlocked to date. As it stands, I'm still using a Mantis X for pretty much everything.


Hopefully I'll have free time this weekend to take advantage of the extra XP, and I'm looking forward to being able to utilise that Geth Infiltrator - 'tis definitely my favourite class in MP (still go for Soldier in SP though).

A krogan vanguard, that is almost unfair lol. Nice to see they are adding these things on but I've known about the characters for awhile, the additional maps and weapons sound nice.

People , people, people

what motivation would EA or Microsoft have for giving you additional credits
that make it less likely for you to buy the Packs with Microsoft Points ?

They're running a business guys.

A Krogan Vanguard? Please tell me this is a joke.Too many people play with a Vanguard as it is now.
Whenever I see a Vanguard in the lobby I'll leave it immediatly as most people who play this class are the worst teamplayers you can imagine.
