EA has announced that bundles based on the Mass Effect franchise are available now in Battlefield 2042 until July 1. The latest update also adds new weapon changes and bug fixes.
The new bundles are as follows:
- Galactic Bundle – 1750 BFC: Centuries from now and in the farthest reaches of space, a good soldier still makes all the difference. Take command and carve your legacy into the stars.
- Scoped & Dropped Bundle – 2000 BFC: Whether you’re tearing across the battlefield or shooting bottles with an old friend, you need the best gear in the galaxy to do the job right.
- Citadel Bundle – 3000 BFC: For those who take the fight to the farthest reaches of space, a special package containing all cosmetics for the Mass Effect crossover event.
There are also three new Mass Effect cosmetics available for players through progression during the event. One of these includes a legendary weapon skin inspired by the Mass Effect assault rifle, the M8 Avenger.
EA describes the weapon updates as follows:
After the AN-94 launched earlier this year, it became clear that many of the vault weapons were a bit out of shape. To remedy that, we took on the task to apply some much-needed love, care, and CLP oil to a bunch of them…We wanted to bring vault weapons up to par with similar weapons by increasing the attachment diversity and open up for more ways of playing with them…
In this update, we introduce a new type of magazine attachment: the Underloaded Magazine. This is a standard issue mag but with fewer bullets in it, making it faster and easier to handle. The downside is that you have fewer rounds in a mag, of course, meaning you are sacrificing damage output over time for improved weapon handling.
