One of the universal gripes about Mass Effect was while it was an overall solid intergalatic gaming experience, the Mako driving segments weren’t really enjoyable. With Mass Effect 2 BioWare scraped the exploration via vehicle segment all together. But with the release of the Firewalker DLC, vehicular exploration and combat is making its way back into the game.

GameTrailers sat down with BioWare and revealed that in the upcoming DLC, players will be able to pilot a vehicle called the Hammerhead. It’s a hovercraft that has some really big guns, and looks like a blast (no pun intended) to play. BioWare reps said that there are new missions designed to take advantage of the vehicle, and there were some clips shown of the thing in action.

Personally I didn’t mind the Mako segements in ME 1, once you got the hang of it anyway. The only thing that kind of wore on my nerves was just traveling some of the planets emptiness to get to that one bunker in the middle of nowhere, or do some salvaging. But seeing the Hammerhead in action, is just full of awesome, and it looks like I’ll be staying up super late to download the new content once its available. See the Hammerhead in action for yourself in this video:
