In Mass Effect 3's multiplayer mode, Weekend Challenges were presented each weekend for players to complete and earn exclusive rewards. Weekend Challenges were announced on October 8, 2012 as a replacement for Weekend Events following the release of Mass Effect 3: Retaliation, and were implemented on October 19, 2012. Weekend Challenges did not include an overall community goal that rewards a Victory Pack, only a squad or individual goal that rewards a Commendation Pack. Unlike Weekend Events, rewards were issued immediately upon completing the challenge, instead of at the end of the event.[1][2]
Participation[]
Weekend Challenges required Mass Effect 3: Retaliation to be downloaded, and were available on all platforms. Weekend Challenges did not require the "Upload Gameplay Feedback" option in the online options menu to be active.[3]
