📋 About This Mod
Husk & Abomination Consistency
Husks and Abominations now use the same appearance that they had during Mass Effect 2. This is done partly because the older models have more of a creepy body-horror vibe, but also so that they remain consistent in appearance across the entire trilogy.
In some instances there are FMVs that show the vanilla ME3 model for husks. To accommodate these, a newer, tougher version of a husk called a Wretched will spawn on certain missions. This will be tougher to fight but retain the same appearance as the ME3 Husk, which will keep these FMVs feeling immersive
Collector Enemies
Do you long for the days of shooting Praetorians?
The Mass Effect trilogy has shown us that the Reapers like to experiment with creating husk monsters, and that new battlefields bring fresh horrors. Well, this mod is aiming at bringing a few of those horrors back.
This alpha mod ports the Abomination enemy from Armax Arena & Mass Effect 2 to Priority: Palaven, with the intention of porting over Scions and Praetorians in future updates on select maps. As this mod is an alpha, it needs a lot of testing to make sure the AI is working as intended. These have been skilfully woven into the mission where appropriate, and will only be fought if the player imports a save from Mass Effect 2.
Missions Encountered On:
Attican Traverse: The Rachni
Mahavid: Leviathan
N7: Fuel Reactors
Priority: Horizon
Priority: Palaven
Priority: Thessia
Priority: Tuchanka
Reaper Possession
