Perhaps the exclamation point is overkill -- the latest free add-on for Mass Effect 2 is simply a new heavy weapon. Nothing more, nothing less. The Arc Projector, as BioWare has so lovingly named it, can now be downloaded for anyone with access to the Cerberus Network storefront.
On the other hand, the gun sounds rather fun to use. You point it at things you want to electrocute to death, and splash damage plays a big role in its effectiveness. There's a nice picture on BioWare's site that shows the Arc Projector shocking some poor Husks in the most glorious of fashions.
Yeah, I get that you mostly just want the "Firewalker" DLC to come out already. So do we.
[Thanks, Steve]

Ooh, but I think that weapon looks spiffy though. =D
@TheRemix It might just be one of the base outfits recolored? That's most likely what it is as all of the DLC armor sets require you have your helmet on the whole time (that thing must stink in there...).
Stop dropping weapons and give us proper content,
Thank you.
But, if they have to add weapons, they need to put in more SMGs and Pistols.
For claiming to be centering on relationships, BioWare kind of brushes aside the old ones too much.
Glad I'm not the only one. Seems to be that "free" also means small. Don't get me wrong, I would never complain about free DLC, but dammit I want something that takes ten or more hours to finish. I'm hoping they have something up their sleeves that they haven't revealed just yet.
That would be awesome, but ME2 has only been out for like a month. Give it some time.
I might fool around with this, but nothing beats the mini-nuke! You can almost one-shot the final boss
Holy shit, there is some District 9 in my Mass Effect 2? Thats awesome!
And on the other hand the brave White Knights from the Church of Sony have to pay for 10min gameplay in Heavy Rain?
What a topsy turvy World
