10 Powerful Video Game Items You Can Find In The First HOUR

M-96 Mattock is a powerful assault rifle introduced in the Firepower Pack DLC for Mass Effect 2. It packs a lot of punch and has a really satisfying, heavy sound whenever you unload it on incoming enemies.

In the original Mass Effect 2, the Mattock was available to the player right at the start of the game, so long as they had the Firepower Pack installed. It was pretty insane considering the rifle had amazing accuracy, low recoil, and a really high base damage output. You were able to get through the entire game with just the M-96 Mattock as your primary weapon, and it would honestly make you feel pretty powerful all the way through.

The recently released Legendary Edition of Mass Effect 2 also features the M-96 Mattock; however, the player needs to purchase it from a vendor on Omega. It's not that bad of a deal, either, as the shady space station is one of the first locations you visit in the game.

Overall, the M-96 Mattock is a weapon you can get your hands on fairly quickly, and once you do, the rest of your experience with Mass Effect 2 will be as easy as pulling the trigger.
