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
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
