The DLC introduces a new squadmate, Zaeed Massani, a veteran mercenary with a dark past. Zaeed – The Price of Revenge also includes a new mission, new weapons and armor, and new achievements.
The DLC begins with Commander Shepard receiving a message from Zaeed, who claims to have information about the whereabouts of Shepard’s missing squadmate, Jacob Taylor. Shepard agrees to meet Zaeed on the Citadel, where he reveals that Jacob was captured by the mercenary group Blue Suns. Zaeed asks Shepard to help him rescue Jacob, and Shepard agrees.
The rescue mission takes place on the planet Zorya, where the Blue Suns are holding Jacob captive. Shepard and Zaeed fight their way through the Blue Suns base, eventually reaching Jacob. Jacob is being held prisoner by Vido Santiago, the leader of the Blue Suns. Shepard and Zaeed defeat Vido and rescue Jacob.
After rescuing Jacob, Shepard and Zaeed return to the Normandy. Zaeed agrees to join Shepard’s squad, and he becomes a valuable asset in the fight against the Collectors. Zaeed is a powerful fighter with a unique set of skills, and he is always ready to fight for what he believes in.
Gameplay
Zaeed – The Price of Revenge is a combat-focused DLC pack that adds a new mission, new weapons and armor, and a new squadmate to Mass Effect 2. The new mission is a linear, action-packed affair that takes place on the planet Zorya. The mission is designed for high-level characters, and it features challenging combat encounters.
The new weapons and armor added by Zaeed – The Price of Revenge are all powerful and useful. The M-92 Mantis sniper rifle is a particularly powerful weapon, and it is perfect for taking down enemies from afar. The new armor, the Inferno Armor, is also very powerful, and it provides excellent protection against all types of damage.
Zaeed is a powerful and versatile squadmate. He is a skilled fighter with a unique set of abilities. Zaeed’s abilities include:
- Incendiary Ammo: Zaeed’s ammo sets enemies on fire, dealing damage over time.
- Concussive Shot: Zaeed fires a concussive shot that knocks enemies down.
- Frag Grenade: Zaeed throws a frag grenade that deals damage to enemies in a small area.
- Barrier: Zaeed creates a barrier that absorbs damage for himself and his allies.
Zaeed is a great choice for players who want a powerful and versatile squadmate. He is particularly effective against enemies who are weak to fire damage.
