I read it in my Game Informer. They are going to be releasing Mass Effect action figures, which will give you a code, to unlock the character in multiplayer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In other, related, more or less shocking news (depending on your opinion of BioWare&#8217;s quality control), complaints about missing unlockable characters &#8220;becoming locked again&#8221; have been turning up on the company&#8217;s forums. The developer is looking into the issue, but in the meantime, recommends the following preventative measures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoiding going into the Store while &#8216;Ready&#8217; for a multiplayer match. It&#8217;s best to un-ready yourself before you go to the store.<\/li>\n<li>Not accepting invites while in the store\/purchasing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Sources: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2012\/03\/12\/rumour-mass-effect-3-multiplayer-dlc-inbound\/\" target=\"_blank\">VG247<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/social.bioware.com\/forum\/1\/topic\/343\/index\/9685812\/1\" target=\"_blank\">BioWare forums<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BioWare are also investigating old Mass Effect 3 multiplayer stuff disappearing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":33020,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3,4],"tags":[31,427,451,813,423],"class_list":["post-34043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-pc","category-xbox","tag-active","tag-bioware","tag-dlc","tag-electronic-arts","tag-mass-effect-3"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34043","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34043"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34043\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34044,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34043\/revisions\/34044"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
