The Dark Horse Comics Blog has word on another unusual way to get bonus DLC for
Mass Effect 3, BioWare's upcoming action/RPG (thanks
Computer and Video Games). It was
recently revealed that DLC will come with some ME3 action figures, and now word is those who preorder
the upcoming Art of the Mass Effect Universe from Barnes and Noble will receive in-game content:
"This product contains a code that can be redeemed for bonus content for Mass Effect 3 multi-player including character boosters and the deadly Collector Assault Rifle to give you a leg up on the Reaper invasion.
Visit social.bioware.com/redeem for instructions on how to unlock your new upgrades.”
“The Collector Assault Rifle uses the same principles as a human assault rifle, but its organic components clearly set it apart. Its power source appears to be an internal organ with biotic capacitance; its ammunition resembles pellets of metallic enamel that strip shields off enemies with deadly efficiency.”
