Mass Effect (and ME2) DLC

Scougar · 13 Dec 2011 at 14:00

Hi chaps,

I've completed ME1 and ME2, and a couple of days after I installed ME2, I noticed that Bioware stopped the 'Cerberus Network'. This appeared to give you free DLC... so how can I get some DLC for ME2? (I have the digital deluxe version of ME2)

Also, can I get some DLC for ME1? (Regular version I believe)

Bear in mind my games are steam games, and no DLC content seems to be available for it :-(

ME2 DLC can be gotten from here

mass effect 1 DLC does indeed work for steam versions but takes a bit of faffing about according to what posts ive seen on the steam forums. ( i haven't got round to trying myself so couldn't comment ).

Here are instructions for getting the dlc for Mass Effect- http://masseffect.bioware.com/me1/galacticcodex/bringdownthesky_pc.html

It is free but for some reason they like to keep it a secret! There is also another piece of dlc called Pinnacle Station but i don't know about that.

Haven't heard about the Cerburus Network being stopped, is it just temporary or are they just not updating it?

Don't bother with Pinnacle Station for ME 1, adds nothing to the story.

Cerberus Network ended a while back. It was always just going to be a temporary thing.

Only thing thats stopped on the Cerberus Network (at least on the Xbox version of ME2) is the news updates, all the DLC is still there last i looked.

That is what i thought, they can't just remove the content

Come on this is EA we are talking about lol

They are above and beyond us poor stupid gamers

They may not remove the content you already have.. but if I haven't downloaded it, I thought it would be possible to remove the 'access' to download that content.

Many thanks for the links chaps :-)

Bioware site is actually terrible, has very annoying logout/login bug. Asks you to login a million times everytime you select something new. Might try it on Chrome and see if it does it. Managed to get some DLC though for ME2 and just installed it, and seems to have integrated well with the Steam version (just run the .EXE from wherever).

EDIT: Actually I can't get the site to work for me to get the ME1 "bring down the sky" CD key, which is rather annoying. I have the download I just can't get the site to work to get a CD Key for the DLC :-(

Try this:

3FLL-43UU-JTN8-W8EX-25J3

I got this from EA support weeks ago, the code should be the same for everyone so EA support said, as it is free DLC.

Fab, that worked, and playing it :-D

Many thanks :-)

(I had actually emailed EA about it, but I won't hold my breath lol).

OcUK to the rescue! Thanks everyone.

Thanks so much for the key. Notepad and saved!

I've been wanting Bring Down The Sky DLC for a while but due to the website being an old part of Bioware and no longer supported, and also not having much success even with EA Live Chat, I practically gave up.

Now I can finally kill some Batarians in the first game.

Just to let people know that I got an email back from EA, and the key code listed for the "Bring Down The Sky" DLC above is the same one they supplied me.. so clearly it's OK and legal to use :-)
