Now comes the other essential choices, where players must decide which party member to assign to each task. If players go off and complete side missions there will be fewer members of the Normandy to rescue, so the best idea is to activate the IFF and head straight to the last mission.Īfter collecting party members, Shepard and the Normandy eventually head through the Omega 4 mass relay to the Collector's base. Once Shepard has activated the Reaper IFF, the clock starts ticking for the captured crew members of the Normandy. The first thing that can affect the last mission in Mass Effect 2 is whether players have done the ME2 character loyalty missions, and how many of the Normandy upgrades have been purchased. The Suicide Mission does play out roughly the same way no matter what, however. Because of that, keep in mind that Mass Effect 2's ending may not feature every party member based on the choices made throughout the game. The entire point of Mass Effect 2 is based around collecting crewmates to help Shepard storm the Collector's base.
