Biggest patch ever incoming!!

Extra notes: I highlighted details that I think worth to be read out.

Played mp last night and wasted medi-gel on Wave 6. My random team-mates couldn't be bother to revive me..

Lol I couldn't even find 1 platinum game yesterday.. After a few unsuccessful search, I quit.

Played Silver. How about Platinum mode this weekend? 

Raider now available on the store as rare weapon,



Carried by the batarian military's notorious Special Intervention Unit, the Raider is a semi-automatic shotgun that loads slowly but fires rapidly, with tremendous force. Short-range even for a shotgun, the Raider has a large pellet spread. Rather than eliminating recoil, its integral compensators instead make it predictable and vertical.

Starting today, the Raider Shotgun will be randomly available in packs as a rare item. Happy hunting. - Chris Priestly
