Mass Effect Hints

How can I get this assignment?

  • 1 of 4: First, you'll have to get to the third objective of the "Noveria: Lorik Qui'in" mission.
  • 2 of 4: After you kill off the security guards on the Synthetic Insights Offices ground floor, check the small office to the south.
  • 3 of 4: There's a terminal you can hack into via Decryption Minigame that'll give you the "Go to the Strenuus System" objective.
  • 4 of 4: Unless, that is, you've already done the "UNC: Privateers" assignment, in which case you won't be able to get this assignment -- as these two assignments are essentially the same.
