Fetch Quests and Collectibles
Mass Effect 3 features several fetch quests and collectibles that reward players with XP, credits, reputation, and War Assets. These side activities often involve finding specific items during missions and delivering them to NPCs. Collecting model ships and fish for Commander Shepard's cabin also adds a personal touch to the Normandy.
During the Prologue: Earth mission, after defeating the first three Cannibals, speak with the soldiers. Head across the makeshift bridge and turn left. A Med Kit is among the wreckage on the right. Around the corner, defeat more Cannibals who now use grenades. Proceed to where the Cannibals came from to find an M-8 Avenger assault rifle among corpses and a radio to begin the final encounter.
For the N7: Cerberus Attack mission, find items in the control room before finishing the mission. Give these to Alison outside Purgatory for 30 XP, 1,000 Credits, +5 Reputation Points, and an improved War Asset - Alliance Fifth Fleet.
On the N7: Cerberus Lab mission, locate a gel in a room at the center of the research facility. Enter the right-hand entrance, look left, run up the stairs, and turn right into a small room where the gel sits on a desk. Deliver this gel to Dr. Ravin in the Citadel hospital reception for 30 XP, 1,000 Credits, and a new War Asset - Hanar and Drell Forces.
Collectibles include:
- Fish: Any fish obtained during the mission to stop the Collectors can be regained if Kelly Chambers was caring for Commander Shepard's fish and they survived Mass Effect 2.
- Model Ships: Six new ship models are available for purchase. Each costs 1000 Credits after completing Priority Missions.
