Bioware is back from its holiday break and that means new bounty weekend missions for Mass Effect 3's multiplayer mode. The developer has just announced the details for this weekend's multiplayer mission and it is called Operation: Genesis.
Operation: Genesis begins this weekend on Friday Jan. 11 and it ends on Jan. 13. Here are the official details for Operation: Genesis from Bioware:
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
Below are some facts about the weekend challenges from Mass Effect 3's publisher Electronic Arts:
