Now we get into the post- Mass Effect 2 story releases. There’s no right or wrong time to play this one. Honestly, it’s one of the most haunting pieces of DLC ever released for the trilogy. In it, you visit a Cerberus research base and figure out exactly why it’s gone silent. Overlord was once again $7 and comes with four new assignments, a new location, an upgrade for Shepard’s armor, and the Hammerhead if you don’t already have the Firewalker Pack. Setting aside new characters, now we get into the meat and potatoes of Mass Effect story content. Like we said before, play this one as soon as possible. Either way, you gain access to another squad member, Kasumi Goto, two new missions, a new location, one new weapon, and a casual outfit for Shepard. If you were on Xbox 360 or Windows, it cost $7.

If you were on PlayStation 3, this was free content as the Sony platform didn’t get the title until a full year later. Nothing huge here, play it when you want.īoy these are a throwback. Aside from extra lore and time spent in the universe, you’ll walk away with another item for your cabin. In this pack you’ll explore seven locations for five different assignments. Replacing the Mako is the Hammerhead hover tank. The last of the free DLC, the Firewalker Pack brought back vehicular exploration and combat to Mass Effect 2. The Price of Revenge released just a few days after the launch of Mass Effect 2 and was another free addition. We always recommend completing anything that gives you new characters as soon as possible as it gives you more time to actually have them in your party and weigh in on everything going on. Included is two missions, one new location, and a new weapon. Zaeed – The Price of Revengeĭespite adding a new character to your party, Zaeed, this is actually one of the shorter pieces of downloadable content. It’s one small location with a cabin item as a reward and shouldn’t take you longer than 30 minutes to complete. In it, you explore the crash site of the SSV Normandy. It was also available as a free download from the respective online services at the time. This short piece of content released alongside Mass Effect 2 and was available for free as part of the Cerberus Network which was included for free in all new copies of the game. If you’d just prefer to play Mass Effect 2’s DLC in the order it came out, just follow the list below! We have not included weapons and armor packs because they’re given to you regardless and have no content which affects the order in which you experience things. In this guide, we’ll run down each of the pieces of downloadable content, highlight what they add to the game, and explain whether or not the order in which you play them in matters. As a result you may find yourself wondering which order you’re supposed to play the DLC.

It’s been nearly ten years since the original release of Mass Effect 3 and even longer since the first two games in the trilogy came out.
