Mass Effect 3 Release Day DLC From Ashes has Achievements

Mass Effect 3’s day one DLC pack From Ashes will award players with two extra Achievements. The new awards, not part of the game’s main 1000 Gamerscore, can only be unlocked by downloading the pack.

From Ashes contains an extra squadmate and mission, details of which leaked online last month.

The DLC contains new team member “Prothy” the Prothean (real name unknown) and a mission on Eden Prime. It previously popped up on Xbox Live Marketplace costing 800 Microsoft Points.

Those buying Mass Effect 3’s Collector’s Edition get the extra content free.

The first Achievement  is “Freedom Fighter”, for 25 Gamerscore. You’ll get that for finding intel to help Eden Prime’s colonists.

Then there’s “Prothean Expert”, for learning about the Prothean Empire and, presumably, recruiting your new team member. That’s another 25 Gamerscore.

Mass Effect 3 is released in Europe this Friday for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
