![]() Before you start this step, make sure to do as much as possible. Those loyalty missions? Check. While there is more content after this, this is a key turning point in the story, and anything important left undone, such as loyalty missions, will remain undone and have critical consequences. Consider this your point of no return, which is a common saying in the Mass Effect community. Luckily for you, I've played this game well over 30 times, so I've got your back.Ī few things you need to be aware of before kicking off this step. Mass Effect doesn't play around with consequences. Failure to pick the right person will result in key characters dying. The second part requires some critical thinking because you'll need to allocate roles to your squadmates before rushing the Collector Base. Commander Shepard spends all of their time throughout the game to prep for this mission, including the upgrades we talked about in our general mistakes to avoid piece from earlier last month. This is the second in a series of blog posts by Lead Gameplay Designer Christina Norman on the RPG systems of Mass Effect 2.The Suicide Mission, as you've probably guessed from the name, is an important story step in Mass Effect 2. Your squad member will start using their new weapon immediately once you obtain it. Since these weapons are tied to a specific squad member, they work with our auto- upgrade system. This approach helps differentiate your squad members, and creates opportunities for individual progression. These unique weapons will automatically be received by a specific squad member. While most weapons are shared, some are so advanced or so personalized to an individual that they can’t be easily replicated or transferred. This is also your chance to customize Shepard’s weapons, including his heavy weapon. ![]() ![]() At this point you can override any choices the auto-upgrade system has made. At the start of every mission you’ll be given a chance to set weapons for your squad. All this is accomplished without any manual inventory management. Thane, back on your ship, grabs one from the armory and starts using it. The armory immediately starts fabricating copies. You scan it and upload the data to your ship’s armory. Let’s say you find an upgraded sniper rifle. Combined with squad based inventory, this makes managing your squad’s loadout very easy. Squad members will automatically start using upgraded weapons when they become available. This gets rid of tedious inventory management tasks, like unequipping and transferring items between squad members. For example, if you find a superior shotgun, your armory will fabricate copies, making that shotgun model available to any squad member with shotgun training. Using that data, this ship’s armory can replicate the weapon, making it available to any squad member trained to use that weapon type. Whenever Shepard finds an upgraded weapon he scans it with his omni-tool, uploading detailed data to his ship. To make this task manageable we’ve made two inventory advancements: squad inventory, and auto-upgrades. With up to 10 squad members, equipping your team in Mass Effect 2 could have been a daunting task.
