That launch-day pack is to be followed by a further free pack containing a new vehicle along with missions and items at an unspecified later date. Once connected to Cerberus, be it through a code or paid access, players will have free access to a DLC pack containing a new character, new missions, and new items. But to players who obtain a copy without an unused Cerberus code - namely, a used or pirated copy - access costs $15.

Named "The Cerberus Network," the program is free to all of those who buy a copy of Mass Effect 2 new at retail or via digital distribution. The studio is going even further with Mass Effect 2, offering an entire DLC network to users who buy the game new. With Dragon Age: Origins, BioWare promoted new copy sales by including a code for a free downloadable quest line.
