Modern Weapon Pack

Modern Weapons Pack (MWP) adds 22 new weapons, including 18 that you know from Mass Effect 3, one from ME: Andromeda, and something brand new as well. Full list below.

Mass Effect 2 is just very poor in weaponry terms. Standard game offers only 19 weapons, with all DLCs - 29. ME3 has 63 weapons, 68 if you include seasonal heavies.

MWP aims to increase ME2 variety and provides some game continuity - you see most of these guns in ME3 too, sometimes their improved versions.

All weapons from MWP are unlocked in few first assignments of the game - pistols after completing recruitment missions on Omega, and everything else after Horizon. It's because they're balanced to par with better weapons unlocked along with campaign progress.

If you import ME2 character you will get all of these weapons instantly (ie. after completing mission on Freedom's Progress, when you have first occasion to change your loadout).

            Heavy Pistols

• []N7 Eagle — full-auto Phalanx upgrade. Its firepower is similar to standard assault rifle.

  []M-5 Buck — brand new pistol with shotgun ammo. The highest spread in the game doesn't make it effective on distances, but its stun ability definitely compensate it.

  []M-77 Paladin — Carnifex upgrade. It has less countable, but stronger shots.

• []N7 Hurricane — despite its lower accuracy, great damage makes it a standard-issue SMG for many soldiers.

  []Geth Plasma SMG — fully-automatic geth submachine gun. Its rate of fire increases as the trigger is being held.

  []Collector SMG — rare and deadly self-cooling weapon. While it doesn't have as high heat capacity as an assault rifle, its cooling rates are much faster.

  []M-25 Hornet — a common Cerberus submachine gun shooting in 3-round bursts with sizeable recoil.

[]Cerberus Harrier — full automatic upgrade of the Mattock. It's just classic AR with stronger bullets. However, it holds small amount of ammunition and has significant recoil, so aim wisely!

[]M-89 Halberd — variant of the Mattock. Fewer, but stronger shots make it better for longer distances.

[]Heavy Collector Rifle — brand new weapon, hybrid of rifle and shotgun. When you press the trigger, it shoots 5 bullets in small angle. Low fire rate, but very high damage.

[]M7 Lancer — a relic from the past. Classic all-around assault rifle that can dissipate heat by its own.

[]Phaeston — a Turia
