Mass Effect 3 N7 Weekend For July 13th

Mass Effect 3 N7 Weekend For July 13th

Get ready for a challenge in Operation: Broadside

Written by Mr J Muffin on 10 July 12 at 20:25

The time has come for yet another N7 Weekend for Mass Effect 3. This time, it's Operation: Broadside, with what may be the hardest goal yet.

Operation Broadside


Squad Goal: Extract at least one squad member against Reapers on Gold difficulty
Allied Goal: Extract 400,000 squads against Reapers on ANY difficulty

Not only is that survive on Gold, but it's survive against the Reapers on Gold. I don't know about any of you, but the Reapers are by far the toughest enemy to face. The rewards are slightly different this time around.

Squad Goal Success: All squad members awarded a Commendation Pack
Allied Goal Success: All players awarded a Victory Pack. Medi-gel cap increases from 5 units to 6.

So the Squad Success will net you the usual Commendation Pack, but what's different is that along with a Victory Pack, if we all accomplish the Allied Goal, our medi-gel gets a cap increase. However, if you're going through that much medi-gel in a match, all hope is lost anyway, right?

Operation: Broadside runs from July 13th at 10am PST thru July 15th at 10am PST.

Looks like starting today, July 10th, we'll all have the chance of getting a Prothean Particle Rifle as well. Guess both regular Spectre and Premium Spectre packs have a chance at them! Makes this weekend even more interesting...

Reapers are rather easy to shred through due to their Husks, which aren't remotely a threat against almost any level 20 with a decent weapon. Other races have threats from the get go because they actually have guns (and Geth Hunters can go to hell this game). Banshees and Brutes fall rather quickly with some nice focused fire. I may actually make a go this weekend at the Squad goal.

Prefer playing against Cerberes on Gold, as the Asari Adept is made for this. Will try the Reapers this weekend I guess.

On a side note; why isn't there a item about the announced SP DLC Leviathan on this site?

I've noticed but yes. Geth are the hardest for me. Most likely because I dislike doing the Salarain/quarian method. All I need is my Asari Justicar with my reave/bubble combo or my turian marksmen with revenant I can take on the geth its just a major pain -.-

Probably because it's not actually announced yet.

Geth are the hardest if you can't hole up somewhere and hide and the easiest if you can. That is why Geth - FB White is on farm and Geth on either of the new maps is nearly impossible

If you have one of the Whip using Ex-Cerberus characters you should know by now that the Reapers can only cry and bleed when faced with your burning countenance. Spec up your AoE attack's damage and use one weapon that weighs nothing and you can create a corridor of dismemberment *through cover*. Forget about cover, that attack goes through freaking walls. This weekend should be fun.

I fear for the allied goal though- not because it's hard to extract against Reapers, but because it depends on people playing against a certain type of enemy- extracting against Geth earns the player pool nothing. Even people who only accidentally played three weekends ago still progressed the goal by killing normal troops of any enemy type. I'm convinced that the only goal to fail so far, namely the Banshee killing one, failed because it was enemy race specific.

I also consider Geth to be the hardest enemy type, just because you'll turn around and get burned by 3 flame troopers only to see 4 hunters unstealth behind them while your allies sit there sniping at a Prime across the map. Cerberus turrets are also death incarnate. As long as you know how to run from Banshees the reapers are a complete and utter joke.

What's this about Reapers having no guns on low levels? Cannibals on Bronze, and Cannibals and Marauders on Silver. Don't know about Gold 'cause it's just a chore at that point. Everyone sticks behind cover and grab-kills things. Boring as hell.
There is no "I" in "team." There also isn't a "u," a "we," an "us," or a "them," so who's playing?

I played the sh*t out of this multiplayer. Don't really have the itch to play it anymore. After seeing the new ending and replaying ME2 & 3 I am a little pooped out on this game. The most frustrating thing has to be those packs you buy. It's hard to find a goal besides unlocking new things. But, once you grind out enough points and don't get what you havent unlocked 4 or 5 times in a row is a bit disconcerning.

You can unlock Missiles, Weaponpacks, Survival Packs and Medigels up to 5 for a mission. Now they give the community the opportunity to get the Medigels up to 6 for one mission.
