About the Mod
Like many people I'm sure, there are a number of powers in Mass Effect 3's Multiplayer that I love to use and thought that a number of them would make good additions for Shepard's power arsenal in Single-Player. However, no such official DLC came from BioWare and the previous modding methods for imported MP powers into SP could be overtly convoluted and difficult for the general mod user... not to mention that a number of the MP powers could have, well, "issues" when used in SP (I love it when a power is both invisible and does no damage, lol).
My prior research and development with making Stimulant Pack as a true bonus power for the Citadel DLC has given me a fair understanding of how Bonus Powers are constructed, on top of my other work with making DLC mods and introducing custom textures into mods. To that end, I decided to see whether or not if would be possible to convert an MP power in an SP version and to make that new power usable as a bonus power for Shepard. The result of my work are the Bonus Power Packs - a pair of DLC mods that introduces 10 powers taken from Multiplayer into the Single-Player campaign as true, genuine bonus powers for Shepard to use.
Bonus Power Pack 1 contains: Arc Grenade, Ballistic Blades, Biotic Sphere, Smash, and Submission Net
Bonus Power Pack 2 contains: Annihilation Field, Tactical Scan, Multi-Frag Grenade, Biotic Slash, and Geth Turret
