Unlockables: ------------ Submitted by: RM Hardcore Mode - Complete the game once Increased Level Cap (51 - 60) - Complete the game once New Game + - Start a New Game, then select to use existing Career. You'll be playing with your older character (with all items and skills intact) Infinite credits: ----------------- The following trick only works between the two indicated vendors. You can usually buy items back from Expat at half the price you sold them to Dr. Michel for. First, successfully complete the side quest involving Dr. Michel (from the Med Clinic) and her blackmailer. After the quest is complete, you will get a discount from all the goods she sells. Start selling her all of your expensive equipment. Then, travel to the Wards Markets, and talk to the merchant named Expat. You can buy all of your items back for cheaper than you sold them for. Return to Dr. Michel, and sell her all of your items again. Repeat this process as many times as desired. Infinite Paragon points: ------------------------ Go to your Galaxy Map, and travel to the Attican Beta cluster. You will receive a message from the Alliance Command telling you about a downed recon probe that you must retrieve a data module from. From there, travel to the Hercules system, and continue to the planet Eletania. After you reach the downed probe, you will discover that a monkey-like native has made off with the data module. Get back in the Mako, and go to your map. You will see three native colonies. Go towards the one in the middle of the three. Then, go into the mining shaft, and proceed through the tunnels until you reach the end. Search the two monkeys in that part of the shaft. One of them will have the data module. Save the game immediately after getting the module. Then, reload the saved game, and continue to press A to keep searching the monkey that had the data module. Your Paragon meter over the radar should increase each time you select the monkey. At approximately 300 Paragon, you will get the "Paragon" achievement. Note: If you have already completed this assignment, this glitch cannot be done. Infinite Paragon and Renegade points: ------------------------------------- On the Noveria planet, go to the hotel bar, and look for a Turian named Lorik Qui'in. Accept his quest to steal the data from his office. Once you get the data, the receptionist will ask you to get Qui'in to testify. Tell her you will do it, and then talk to Qui'in. Tell Qui'in that he should testify (top left option). When he refuses, select the Charm option (top left) for Paragon points or the Intimidate (bottom left) for Renegade points, and end the conversation. Talk to him again, and ask about the Matriarch. When he gets done talking about her, select the "Other questions" option (bottom right). You should now have the option to ask him to testify again (top left). He will refuse, and you will be able to use the Charm or Intimidate option again to gain another 24 Paragon or Renegade points. Repeat this process as many times as desired. You can also easily get the "Paragon" and "Renegade" achievements with the glitch. Easy experience points: ----------------------- To gain extra experience from battles, make sure to get out of the Mako for the final hit. You can weaken the stronger enemies from inside the Mako and then get out to finish them off. You will only get 60% of the experience if you kill enemies with the Mako. Easy Mako repairs: ------------------ If your Mako is badly damaged and you do not want to or cannot spend Omni-gel to repair it, save your game, and reload it. Your Mako should now be totally repaired. Weapon that does not overheat: ------------------------------ Get a HMWA X assault rifle with Frictionless Materials, Combat Optics X, and Snowblind Rounds X as upgrades. Saving weapon points: --------------------- If you are a Soldier, level up weapons so you can use their bonuses and no further. For example, carnage is the shotgun's bonus. By doing this, you will have extra points for a desired weapon and points to level everything else completely out. You do not need the damage and accuracy bonus from the points because when you become a Spectre the best of every weapon becomes unlocked in the Normandy or at the C-SEC requisitions office. Lethal sniping: --------------- Equip any good sniper rifle (powerful and accurate) with High Explosive Rounds (highest level preferably). This combination will kill nearly every normal enemy it directly hits, and severely damage enemies in their proximity, if not killing them as well. For fun, if you shoot at the enemy's feet or the ground he is standing directly on top of, he will jettison into the air. Note: High Explosive Rounds work best only with sniper rifles as they are meant to kill with one shot. If it is used with a pistol, assault rifle, or shotgun, the weapon will overheat in less than five shots (depending on the type of weapon), regardless of upgrades and decency of the gun. This will make yourself vulnerable to enemies. Recommended weapon upgrades: ---------------------------- The best weapon upgrades on any gun are Frictionless Materials X (28% heat damping, +7% damage), Kinetic Coil X (28% weapon stability, +7% damage), and Slegdehammer Rounds X (50% weapons force, + 60% poison damage, - 20 heat damping). Overall, the weapons stats you will end up with are 14% damage, +28 weapon stability, +50% weapon force, +60 poison, +8% heat damping. The poison damage also prevents shield regeneration. Also, any of the following combo of any grade is the best. Finding all elements: --------------------- The best way to find the elements, minerals, and anomalies on planets that you can explore is to drive along the edges of the operational area (the red area). Drive the Mako in a circle around the area to where you can barely see the edge of the red line. You should find at least two elements/minerals on each planet that can be explored. There are rare things that will not show up on your map -- you will also have to drive around like this to find them. There are several more items than you are required to find, but it is good to go ahead and get them if you need the experience points. Also, if you say the correct things to the Asari Consort, she will give you a trinket that will allow you to activate a Prothean Orb found on Eletania, or the "monkey" planet, in the Hercules system. It contains the memories of a Cro-Magnon that was observed by the Protheans. The Orb will show up as an anomaly on your map, in the lower left corner. Ensuring experience points and gamerpoints: ------------------------------------------- After a major plot has been played, make sure to talk to your crew. This will give you experience points for clues and boost your crew's morale. There is also a subplot for romance where you must choose who you want to have a relation with. You may lose the gamerpoints if you do not talk to the crew. Puzzle solution in Noveria: --------------------------- On the planet Noveria, you must solve a puzzle after you enter the Core at Mira to restore activity to the compound. The solution is as follows. There are three columns. Four discs are in the left column. You must move all four discs to column two or three for the puzzle to be completed. "1" indicates the upper most ring, "4" is the lowest, etc. Step 1: Move 1 to the middle. Move 2 to the right. Move 1 to the right on top of 2. Move 3 to the middle. Step 2: Move 1 to the left. Move 2 to the middle on top of 3. Move 1 to the middle on top of 2. Move 4 to the right. Step 3: Move 1 to the right. Move 2 to the left. Move 1 to the left on top of 2. Move 3 to the right on top of 4. Step 4: Move 1 to the middle. Move 2 to the right. Move 1 to the right. These steps will solve the puzzle with all four discs being in the right column. Defeating the giant worm in Edolus: ----------------------------------- During the mission about the missing Marines, you will encounter a large worm creature. To defeat it, jump just before the projectile acid the worm spits, and attack it with missiles and constant gunfire. Defeating Thresher Maw in Edolus: --------------------------------- The easiest way to defeat the Thresher Maw is after it has initially launched out of the ground to drive off, stay at a relative distance, and drive circles around it while firing. Because of your distance, it will not use its long-ranged attack or be able to cause melee damage. It will go back underground after a time or certain amount of damage is inflicted and will change the location it pops up. Repeat the circular attack to get away undamaged. Reversed Earth: --------------- Once you have landed on Luna, Earth's moon, look for the view of Earth. When you zoom in on Earth, noticed that its image is reversed. For example, Florida is where California should be and vice versa. Engineers: ---------- Engineers are tech specialists. Using the holographic OmniTool they can decrypt security systems, repair and/or modify technical equipment, disrupt enemy weapons or shields and heal their party. Even though they begin the game with only pistols and the OmniTool, engineers can unlock the ability to wear light armor and to reverse engineer enemy technology. They can also learn to put up protective shields and to heal the party. Lethal sniping: --------------- Equip any good sniper rifle (powerful and accurate) with High Explosive Rounds (highest level preferably). This combination will kill nearly every normal enemy it directly hits, and severely damage enemies in their proximity, if not killing them as well. For fun, if you shoot at the enemy's feet or the ground he is standing directly on top of, he will jettison into the air. Note: High Explosive Rounds work best only with sniper rifles, as they are meant to kill with one shot. If it is used with a pistol, assault rifle, or shotgun, the weapon will overheat in less than five shots (depending on the type of weapon), regardless of upgrades and decency of the gun. This will make yourself vulnerable to enemies. Saving weapon points: --------------------- If you are a Soldier, level up weapons so you can use their bonuses and no further. For example, carnage is the shotgun's bonus. By doing this you will have extra points for a desired weapon and points to level everything else completely out. You do not need the damage and accuracy bonus from the points, because when you become a Spectre the best of every weapon becomes unlocked for you in the Normandy or at the C-SEC requisitions office. Soldiers: --------- Soldiers are combat specialists ideal for the front lines of a firefight. Soldiers begin the game trained with skills in both pistols and assault rifles, they have improved health and the ability to wear medium combat armor. As you progress through the game you can unlock assault training, skills with shotguns and sniper rifles, become able to perform first aid on yourself and party members, and wear heavy combat armor.

However, theres a way around that so that you can get any character to wear any piece of armor. To do it, try the following technique below. 1.) Head to the equipment menu and head to the character you want to re-equip, finding the piece of armor you want him or her to wear regardless of the characters race or class and regardless of the armor type. 2.) Including the piece of armor you want to equip, count down the pieces of armor to the bottom of the inventory list. 3.) On any piece of armor, click the upgrade option. On any upgrade, opt to turn it into Omni Gel and then quickly opt out. This should return you back to the upgrades menu. Count down from the bottom of that list the number that you earlier acquired when you counted down on the armor list. Now click on that upgrade and transfer the upgrades by hitting yes. If done properly, you should now be equipped with the desired piece of armor regardless of type. Easier Aiming: -------------- If you want to have an easier time shooting and killing fast-moving enemies such as Geth Hoppers, Geth Drones, and the like, try the following. Open up the command wheel when engaging them in combat. This will freeze the game, but youll still be able to aim your gun at foes all the while. Aim at the fast-moving enemy and then get out of the command wheel. This will score you direct hit after (admittedly cheap) direct hit! Easy experience points: ----------------------- When you are using the Mako, try to kill as few enemies as possible with it. You can even use the Mako sitting in the garage on Noveria that you can decrypt and use (only the guns), because it is worth the same as far as experience points earned. Most of the time you will gain more experience points if you defeat enemies with your own weapons. In the case of a Thresher Maw, Heavy Turret, or a Geth Colossus, just use the Mako's cannon and mini-gun to get them to a sliver of health, then finish them off with your weapons. You will gain the same amount of experience points as you would have if you had fought them entirely with your own weapons. The sniper rifle can also earn you more experience points if your character is trained with it. Be careful on planets with hazardous environments when using either of these methods. Vanguards: ---------- Vanguards are biotic warriors. They combine offensive biotic abilities and weapons training to quickly take down opponents, and are especially deadly at short range. They can train with pistols and shotguns, and can learn to wear medium armor. Sentinels: ---------- Sentinels combine biotic and tech abilities. Typically they use biotic abilities and advanced healing skills to defend allies, though they can also disrupt opponents with biotic or Tech attacks. They are more efficient at tech and biotics than other classes, but at the expense of combat. Sentinels can only use light armor, and receive no advanced weapon training. Old Bioware Nods: ----------------- *Nihlus the first Spectre you meet is a nod to Darth Nihlus in KOTOR 2 they even have the same face paint. *The Selkath undewater base in KOTOR 1 has the same name as the rift station in Mass Effect where you confront the Rachni. *A lot of characters in Mass Effect are similarly named to races and characters in the KOTOR games like the Thorian refers to the Ithorians from KOTOR, Saren's injuries (geth implants) are a reference to to Malaks face injuries in KOTOR cuz before they both betray the good guys the get badly damaged in a fight of some sort. Ammunition mods: ---------------- Use one of the following entries with the giveitem self code. Note: The game appears to have only one type of ammunition mod. For example, enter giveitem self 8 x_wammo_ap as a code to spawn level VIII armor-piercing ammunition. X_WAmmo_AntiPersonnel X_WAmmo_AP X_WAmmo_Chemical X_WAmmo_Cryo X_WAmmo_Hammerhead X_WAmmo_Harpoon X_WAmmo_HE X_WAmmo_HyperRail X_WAmmo_Incendiary X_WAmmo_Inferno X_WAmmo_Phasic X_WAmmo_Polonium X_WAmmo_Proton X_WAmmo_Radioactive X_WAmmo_Shredder X_WAmmo_Sledgehammer X_WAmmo_SnowBlind X_WAmmo_Striker X_WAmmo_Tungsten Infiltrators: ------------- Infiltrators combine combat and tech abilities, and specialize in killing or disabling enemies at long range. Infiltrators are trained to use OmniTools, but the focus is on decryption and offensive abilities rather than healing. They can train with pistols or sniper rifles, and can learn to wear medium armor. Shopping: --------- When looking for certain items or armor, save before talking to merchant for first time. The merchandise is random. If you do not get anything you want, reload the game and talk to the merchant again. This trick can be used about three times whenever enough game time has elapsed for merchants to respawn new items. Soldiers: --------- Soldiers are combat specialists ideal for the front lines of a firefight. Soldiers begin the game trained with skills in both pistols and assault rifles, they have improved health and the ability to wear medium combat armor. As you progress through the game you can unlock assault training, skills with shotguns and sniper rifles, become able to perform first aid on yourself and party members, and wear heavy combat armor. ExoGeni PSI puzzle: ------------------- In the ExoGeni facility there are several claws that feed power that must be terminated to continue the mission. You will come across a control panel for the Shuttle Bay Door Controls. This panel has 5 switches of different pressures: (5 PSI Valve) (7 PSI Valve) (17 PSI Valve) (11 PSI Valve) (13 PSI Valve) The objective is to add just enough pressure to fill the gauge between the two arrows. Too much will reset the puzzle and you will have to play with different combinations. Once a correct pressure is reached the bar will turn yellow and text under it will read "WARNING, HIGH PRESSURE". Enter 7, 11, and 13, then activate. This will create enough pressure to break the claw and deactivate the Geth power being flushed into ExoGeni. Saving weapon points: --------------------- If you are a Soldier, level up weapons so you can use their bonuses and no further. For example, carnage is the shotgun's bonus. By doing this you will have extra points for a desired weapon and points to level everything else completely out. You do not need the damage and accuracy bonus from the points, because when you become a Spectre the best of every weapon becomes unlocked for you in the Normandy or at the C-SEC requisitions office. Easy ally achievements: ----------------------- Use the following trick to unlock all six ally achievements with only three playthroughs. When you start the game, focus on getting all six of your teammates. Choose two of them to play through the game with. Keep those two until you complete the majority of the game. You will get the ally achievement for the teammate you recruited first. After you get it, replace that teammate with another one as soon as possible. After the next assignment you complete, you will then unlock the ally achievement for the second teammate. Armor upgrade mods: ------------------- Use one of the following entries with the giveitem self code. Note: The game appears to have only one type of armor upgrade mod. For example, enter giveitem self 10 x_armor_motojoints as a code to spawn a level X motor joints armor upgrade mod (+20% to strength). X_Armor_AblCoating X_Armor_CombatExo X_Armor_CushGel X_Armor_EnerWeave X_Armor_EnvSeals X_Armor_Exoskel X_Armor_FieldRegen X_Armor_FirstAid X_Armor_HardWeave X_Armor_HazardSeals X_Armor_KineticBuff X_Armor_KineticExo X_Armor_MedicalExo X_Armor_MedicalIntf X_Armor_MotoJoints X_Armor_Plating X_Armor_PressSeals X_Armor_RegenPlating X_Armor_ShieldBatt X_Armor_ShieldMod X_Armor_ShieldVI X_Armor_ShockAbs X_Armor_StimPack Recommended weapon upgrades: ---------------------------- To build the most powerful weapons in the game, use the following. For assault rifles, shotguns, and pistols use Frictionless Materials, Scram Rail, and Inferno Rounds. Once you can get the "X" level equipment, these will be the most powerful weapons in the game, but the combination should be used at any point you find these materials. For the sniper rifle use two Frictionless Materials and High Explosive Rounds. The assault rifle will not overheat much at all, but for an assault rifle that does not overheat, you can use two Scram Rails and Snowblind Rounds. It is not as powerful as the first method, but is efficient. Signal tracking: ---------------- * While in the FLux you will see a Quasar Machine that has a strange signal coming from it. It traces to the following place in order: * Use the following trick when you find the source of the signal and you are given the option to deactivate the AI system. A faster way to do so and save a lot of credits and time is to shoot the power supply just beside you. This will overload the AI and net you more credits than trying to figure out the code. Recommended career: ------------------- Play as a War Hero Soldier first. By doing this, during your second play through you will have all of the money, weapons, and armor to use for the other careers. Character building: ------------------- If you want to take the time, you can max out your Paragon and your Renegade stats without using any points. Once you get Spectre status, you can get up to four free points in each ability with each playthrough. Just play through the game three times and use the points you save elsewhere. The "Unlimited Paragon or Renegade" glitch helps.
