Video game developer BioWare has announced that Mass Effect 3 players will be able to take part in a new multiplayer-oriented event called Operation: VIGILANCE, which will take place from September 7 to September 9 on the PC, the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360.

The announcement reads: “Unexpected attacks have taken out several squads and damaged vital Alliance equipment. We will deploy drones to repair damage and investigate the nature of these attacks.”

The squad goal for Operation: VIGILANCE is to complete wave 10 on any difficulty without using consumables like the Cobra missile launcher, the medi-gel, the Ops pack or the ammo supply.

The overall goal for all players is to complete 250,000 escort missions on any difficulty level.

Those who achieve the squad goal will get a Commendation Pack, and a Victory Pack is ready if the player community also manages to get to the overall goal in Operation: VIGILANCE.
