For Mass Effect 2 on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Best Coalesced Mod Ever!' Back up your original coalesced.ini file 2. Mass Effect 2 is an action role-playing video game published by Electronic Arts and developed by BioWare. The game was first released in 2010 for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360 and in 2011 for PlayStation 3. Mass Effect 2 is the second part of the Mass Effect series which went very popular. This mod works with all copies of Mass Effect 2 and all of the DLC (DLC is not required however) What this mod does: This mod allows all classes to have access to soldier weapon sets (Heavy weapon, sniper rifle, assault rifle, shotgun, and pistol), and on the collector ship mission it will unlock a special weapon for you.

Hints

Saving:

Import a savegame from ME1. If you don't have one, try masseffectsaves.com.

There are some bugs from importing. Use the config program to import, then quit the game and open the imported save game with the Trilogy Save Editor, linked above. Go through and be sure the plot points are correct. After starting a new game and getting to the first point where you can save, it is also a good idea to double-check the imported plot points are correct for the new ME2 save.

The Save Game Editor is also a handy way to unlock squad-only weapons that you'd normally not have access to.

I'll only mention this once: Save often.

Quick Save before every Conversation, Hack, or Bypass. It'd suck to screw one up only to have to reload from a slot you saved an hour or more ago.

Use the Save Menu to save in new slots on occasion. These saves stay with your character, so they won't overwrite other games.

I recommend saving in a new slot when you first land on a plot planet and before starting every major plot point.

Save your save games. You can import them into Mass Effect 3, and your choices will affect many of the side-missions, and some other subtle options.

There are a limited number of save slots per character. You'll need to delete some of your old ones eventually, but it's not like you're going to load something from so long ago in the game, right? Rotating through 3 or 4 slots works well enough for me.

Combat:

Use your Abilities often. They make combat easier, especially on the higher difficulty levels.

Stay in cover most of the time. Only lean out when you're attacking. This allows your shield and health to regenerate.

Reload your weapon whenever you have a few free moments. Having to reload an extra time in the middle of a firefight can be bad.

Neural Shock can one-shot Husks.

Pull, Throw, and Shockwave, if used well, can toss enemies over cliffs, instantly killing them.

Stasis is annoying.

The Geth Plasma Shotgun won't shoot most shotable objects.

Gameplay:

Read the manual. It's in the directory where you installed the game.

Unlike in ME1, the minigames do not require you or your squadmates to have any specific skill.

You'll need 240 Probes if you want to scan every planet once (and Uranus twice!).

You only get XP for completing Missions and Assignments. You do NOT get XP for killing enemies, so look for ways to avoid combat altogether, or at least to shorten it.

Paragon vs. Renegade. Personally, I've found it very difficult to be consistently one or the other. The game seems to be made for a combination of the two. I find some situations are better with a Paragon response, and others just beg for the Renegade option. I'd go so far as to say the experience is better with whatever mix feels good at the time. In any case, don't sweat your decisions - just have fun. It is, after all, a game.

Be careful when speaking with characters you DON'T want to romance. It's surprisingly easy to get involved with the 'wrong' person.

Download and install the all of the downloadable content. They're fun!

Legion joins late. If you want to hear all of Legion's conversations, save two DLCs for after the credits. New conversations only trigger after Missions, and N7 Assignemtns don't seem to count.

The closest face code for the ME3 default female Shepard that I can get is 743.QGG.M11.F81.JDG.13Q.1ED.711.J66.373.2G6.176. You may also wish to try the FemShep Appearance Consistency Mod.

Recruit everyone as soon as possible. If you wait until the last minute, some conversations won't advance to their conclusion.

Leveling:

Enemies level up at the same rate as you do, so the game is consistently challenging. This also means you need to keep your gear upgraded.

Equip better items as soon as you can, as enemies level up at the same rate as you, and therefore combat will get way harder if you don't.

System:

Sometimes when you return to the game from the desktop, all you get is a blank screen. When this happens, just press Alt+Tab again.

If you remap the 'leave planet' key, make it the same as the 'melee' key. I don't know why, but making them different from each other prevents you from being able to return to the Normandy.

If your textures start to disappear or look weird, try deleting C:UsersUSERNAMEDocumentsBioWareMass Effect 2BIOGameConfigGamerSettings.ini. The game will make a new one when you start it up again, and you'll need to readjust your graphics settings.

Cheats

The Easy way to unlock the console is to use the bypasser in ME3Tweaks Mod Manager - despite the name, it works for ME2

Download PCCPatcher.zip, either from Bioware or here. Unzip it somewhere handy.

Run PCCPatcher.exe and do the following (thanks to Halidun):

Browse for the files Engine.pcc and SFXGame.pcc in their respective boxes. They should be in C:GamesMass Effect 2BioGameCookedPC. Also, make copies of those files on the off chance something gets screwed up.

Click Load Packages.

On the Engine Tab, Check 'Unlock in-game console'

Click the Packages Menu, then Save Packages.

Close PCCPatcher.exe and run the game.

When playing in-game simply press the ~ (tilde key), above tab (also known as ` (grave)) to open the console, then type in the desired cheat. The TAB key brings up a single box at the bottom of the screen, if you prefer.

Note 1: I haven't tested all these codes, so use them at your own risk. Note 2: If you want to get REALLY crazy specific with the cheats, see this guide: Mass Effect Wiki. Note 3: These are NOT Case-Sensitive.

Tweaks

To disable the intro logo movies, go to C:GamesMass Effect 2BioGameMovies and rename or delete BWLogo.bik and ME_EAsig_720p_v2_raw.bik

To revert the dialog in the introductory conversation to reflect an ME1 import, first start the game to validate the DLC, then exit, and remove (DLC_DHME1) from C:GamesMass Effect 2BioGameDLC

Coalesced.ini Editing

For all of the below, the following steps will be necessary:

Make a backup of C:GamesMassEffect2BioGameConfigPCCookedCoalesced.ini

Use Notepad++ to open Coalesced.ini Note: Notepad, Wordpad, Word TextPad, or anything else will not work, as they will ruin the file.

Save the file and use ME2IniFixer utility to fix it. If the game crashes on start, it means you either ruined it with the wrong editor or forgot to fix it. Restore from backup and retry then. Make sure to save a copy of the new file in case Coalesced.ini gets reverted by an updater or the game.

If you're still not comfortable doing this editing yourself, here's a working file with all of the below tweaks: Coalesced.zip

Remove lens flares and bloom LensFlareMaxOcclusionIncrement=0.0 LensFlareOcclusionStepSize=0.0 Bloom_Scale=0.0 m_fDOFDefaultBlurKernel=8.0

Change how long after an NPC's last line of dialog before the conversation wheel appears: m_fShowLastLineOffset=0.0 (0.0 helps prevent choosing the wrong thing when skipping through dialog)

Infinite Ammo for all weapons bInfiniteAmmo=true Makes it so that you effectively have an infinite number of thermal clips. Doesn't break the tutorial. (Also edit bioWeapon.ini files in the DLC folders. You won't need to 'fix' those.)

Editing Weapon Loadouts Under (SFXGame.SFXPlayerSquadLoadoutData), you can find several things: Abilities for player classes. (make a custom class!) Weapon loadouts for player classes. Weapon loadouts for squad mates. Changing them is fairly straightforward. Just copy and paste, or delete. For example, if you want Jacob to only use Assault Rifles, delete the stuff in parentheses, and add in LoadoutWeapons_AssaultRifles
