Mass Effect 3: N7 Weekend Operation GENESIS
Operation GENESIS (Jan 11th-13th)
Event Description: Casualties and battle fatigue have worn down some of our best units. We are cycling out soldiers whose tours of duty have been hyperextended and substituting fresh troops from human colonies. Experienced commanders are expected to stay on duty, maintain unit cohesion, and hold new recruits to N7 standards.
Individual Goal: Extract twice, once as a base male human and once as a base female human (Adept, Engineer, Infiltrator, Sentinel, Soldier, or Vanguard classes) on any map at any difficulty.
Reward: Commendation Pack
Hurrah for the return of N7 weekends! Unfortunately, I’ve been unable to get on Xbox LIVE in the last three weeks due to network connection problems. Still trying to get it fixed so I may miss this one :( It’s too bad because I don’t normally play as a base Human character so this would have been a nice change of pace. If I’m able to get online in time, I’ll probably use the Human Adept and maybe the Infiltrator.
How will you be doing this week’s challenge? Let me know in comments!
They keep getting easier and easier… It’s weird. But oh well, easy Commendation Packs!
I hope you figure out how to fix that network connection issue. Thanks for posting a lot of useful information.
These so-called “challenges” are becoming somewhat insulting..
Well I think that maybe these challenges are easy, because of the poor history of failing most of them last year by the vast majority of players. So basicly due to complaints about the old double challenges bioware dumbed them down for the masses of retards that attempt to be good at this game. Personally I think players like that should stick to CoD.
I’m sure a lot of it has to do with dwindling numbers. The people that have already played are disappearing and they’re left with new players that don’t have much unlocked.
My guess is that this challenge is to help those newer players who just started multiplayer get some promotional weapons in first. After all, Christmas should have made new players join in.
Used the human sentinel on a gold run. Can’t seem to get a good build for that one – came in last place. Any thoughts? Most people just say to ditch the armor, but I really want to make it work. The run was also on geth, I probably would have done a bit better on reapers.
I like this one: http://narida.pytalhost.com/me3/classes/#Sentinel/Human/OQKID/Acolyte10AK5AJ5///PowerAmplifierModule4/AdaptiveWarAmp5/
It’s the “squishy” build, 6/6/6/5/3. Since it’s a Power Based build all you gotta do is stay behind sniping Warp and Throw, it’s really fun.
Thanks, I’ll give it a try!
Minor patch note this week, but still no Acolyte back to non-charge. =/
N7 Slayer got a minor buff on Phase Disruptor, but meh.
