So it's true, BioWare really is bringing additional races and classes to the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. Folks, I give you the "Resurgence Pack," a free multiplayer add-on coming next week, April 10. Those clever Canadians hinted at the new content just yesterday when "Operation: Beachhead" was announced, effectively creating much debate in the community as players argued over the validity of old multiplayer rumors.
Batarians and geth are the new races on the block, remaining within the realm of existing classes, as seen in the above image. But how exactly do subclasses like Justicar and Battlemaster work? Well, every character will have their own "unique abilities and loadouts," BioWare says on their blog. So while Adept and Vanguard are existing classes, the Justicar and Battlemaster will likely come with special skills exclusive to their subclass. Even though the asari racial is already "Asari Justicar," and all. Does that make the new Adept twice the Justicar?
In addition to the playable characters, Resurgence also introduces two more maps (finally) and three new weapons, because one can never have too many SMGs. Let's start with the new guns.
There is indeed a new SMG, but it's a geth item, so that might make up for it. Most intriguing of the bunch might be the Kishock Harpoon Gun, because who wouldn't want a futuristic harpoon?
