Mass Effect 2 Guide › Essentials › TRAINING

Introduction

When Commander Shepard was thrown into space during the mysterious attack on the Normandy, all hope seemed lost.

However, science has advanced enough that not even death is permanent.

The organization Cerberus brings Shepard back using the very latest in genetic and biological reconstruction science, giving both the commander and the galaxy a second chance.

Make that chance count by being fully informed of how things work in Mass Effect 2, from the essentials of creating an entirely new hero to how to best use your squad members in combat situations.

There is no shortage of curveballs in the galaxy, but by following this training guide, you will be ready to meet anything the galaxy throws at you.
