We found that ammo was spawning too scarcely in the original game, so we’ve increased the drop rate for ammo in ME2, particularly when using a sniper rifle since that had a reduced ammo drop rate in the original release. Additionally, there is no longer a level cap on a first playthrough.Īs a final gunplay change, we also tweaked ammunition in Mass Effect 2. Players who complete most aspects of the game should be able to more reliably get to higher levels on a single playthrough rather than needing to play through a second time to do so. XP gained during the first game has been rebalanced for better consistency, especially towards the game’s end. Ammo drops have been rebalanced in Mass Effect 2 (details below).XP has been rebalanced in the first game (details below).Entering and exiting cover is now more reliable.Additional cover added to some encounters.Cover has been improved across the trilogy.Some boss fights and enemies in the first game have been tweaked to be fairer for players but still challenging.Squadmates can now be commanded independently of each other in the first Mass Effect, the same way you can command them individually in Mass Effect 2 and 3.Effectiveness/strength is increased (duration reduced in some cases).

Previously some did not, including humanoid enemies.

Weapon accuracy and handling has been significantly improved.

Melee attacks are now mapped to a button press rather than automatically occurring based on proximity to an enemy.

Improved the aiming down sights (ADS) camera view to be tighter on combat so that ADS is more accurate (like the second and third games), and improved the aim assist to provide better precision.
