Hovertank Coming To Mass Effect 2

Hover. Tank. With guns. Excited yet?

Move over, Mako, the Hammerhead is set to be the new playable vehicle in the Mass Effect universe. It will be part of the next ME2 downloadable content called Firewalker slated for release at the end of March.

Few people were sad to see the Mako dropped from the franchise. Described by one reviewer as handling “like a fat man on a unicycle”, the all terrain, weapon-laden vehicle was a clumsy ride and boring as heck as a tool for mining resources. The Hammerhead is likely just for the purpose of kicking ass and taking names. We’ll have to wait and see if it handles better than its predecessor.

Firewalker will feature five new levels developed with the Hammerhead in mind. Bioware says that it will also include a brand new heavy weapon that has yet to be described. Personally, I’m not sure how it can possibly top the M-920 Cain… I mean, that’s a freaking nuke weapon. I guess we’ll have to wait for that too.
