(ME2) Mass Effect 2 : All N7 Assignments / Quests Guide

Note: All Gameplay is from the Xbox 360 version of Mass Effect 2. (The PC version has a slightly different story and may have alternative endings, but all of the locations and items are the same across the two versions.)

If you enjoyed the first Mass Effect, you’re in for a treat with Mass Effect 2. The game shares the same universe as the first game, but is set in the much-anticipated sequel to the original. The game takes place 10 years after the events of Mass Effect, and sees players once again assume the role of Commander Shepard. The second Mass Effect features highly upgraded gameplay systems and over 700 new locations to explore.

(ME2) Mass Effect 2 includes a number of optional side missions or Assignments that you may perform, some of which will only open once certain criteria are met.

The following is a step-by-step approach to completing all of the N7 Assignments.
