OICF allows you to fight Collectors on up to 5 missions, featuring the entirety of the Collector faction -- Seeker Swarms, Abominations, Troopers, Captains, Scions, and Praetorians. This brings the game's enemy variety to a much healthier state, as you now face four factions across the story: Reapers, Cerberus, Geth... and the Collectors.
Extensive effort was put into ensuring that their inclusion feels as natural as possible with the help of appropriate dialogue, restored cut content, as well as new emails and codex entries. You should feel as if Collectors were always a part of the game.

- Decent community traction with 92 endorsements and over 3,300 downloads.
