Mass Effect 3: Full list of weapons and upgrades leaked

Posted By | On 02nd, Feb. 2012

A post on the Bioware forums has revealed the full list of weapons and upgrades that will be featured in Mass Effect 3, and a screenshot of the weapons loadout screen has also been released (pictured below), though this isn’t the final version, and Bioware says the weapons loadout menu will probably be overhauled for the final product.

It seems much more tactical this time around, and more detailed than Mass Effect 2, which will be good news for those who thought the second installment was too streamlined. What’s best is that the menus aren’t cluttered like those in ME1 either.
