Mass Effect 3's N7 Weekend

Mass Effect 3's N7 Weekend

Operation Exorcist

Written by osubluejacket on 25 April 12 at 18:02

Recently BioWare announced that they'd be paring their N7 weekends for Mass Effect 3 down to every-other-weekend. This coming weekend marks the return of N7 Operations with Operation Exorcist.

Operation 1


Operation Exorcist will have two goals:

Allied Goal - Kill 1,000,000 Cerberus Phantoms

Squad Goal - Survive until extraction on any map and any enemy on Gold difficulty.

Successful completing the Allied Goal will grant all players a Victory Pack while completion of the Squad Goal will garner squadmates a Commendation Pack.

Operation Exorcist will run from 6:00PM (PST), Friday April 27th to 5:00AM on Monday, April 30th. As always, remember to set your "Upload Gameplay Feedback" to "on" in the online options and check out BioWare's blog for full details.

Anyone having any problem finishing a Gold game just search for Firebase White and Geth. People are using this combination to farm credits as it can be done in less than 25 minutes by a reasonable group of players. People are playing this map all day everyday so they'll never be a problem finding a lobby.

Yes only done the resurgence one as i didn't get the game straight away and i've done gold countless times on firebase white with geth all you need is a slarian engineer with decoy and a infiltrator to do the objectives.

Woot! Let's hope our usual ass-kicking team are around for this. Gold isn't too hard with the right people playing =)

Firebase White with Geth is incredibly boring.... Gold isn't that hard if you work with decent teammates. The problem though is finding those teammates. Just get a friend and both use Asari Adepts and setting up biotic explosions. Try Cerberus as well. Cerberus is the easiest faction besides Geth with Salarians.

TakeTheToast said:Sounds hard as hell, Silver was bad enough for me but I'll give it a try.The easy way to do gold is to just have two Salarian Engineers, find a room on the map with only two entrances, and keep each one decoyed. Even on gold all the enemies will stop dead in front of your decoys, giving you lots of time to whittle them down.

I personally love Reapers with two or more Adepts as even on Gold biotic explosions decimate Banshees and Brutes in seconds :)

Just enjoy it while you can and respect the fact that the developers are supporting the game and giving the gamers who bought their product something extra to enjoy... for free.

Me and some friends have no trouble with Reapers on Gold, get two Drell adepts and two human adepts, have the drells spam reave and the humans spam warp/shockwave, banshees die almost instantly because one their barrier is down every biotic explosion stumbles them.

might have to play some this weekend, hopefully the victory pack gives out a decent weapon as the last two have given me crap ones.

I managed to finish a round of Firebase White - Geth on Gold with only 3 players (one dropped out at Wave 7). Decoy + Biotic Sphere really helped us out, as we were able to lure lots of Geth into a Biotic kill-zone.

Uploading on Firebase White generally isn't too bad and killing VIPs is easy because they tend to come to you. The worst one is getting to all the control points, so having a good Infiltrator can be quite helpful.

Avoid going into matches with Vanguards on Gold. The added health to all enemies frequently gets them into trouble, and killed in the middle of a lot of enemies. There are some good Vanguard players out there, but in my experience the majority of them use the same tactics that work on Bronze and Silver and get overwhelmed, frequently leading to a mission failure.
