"Mass Effect" - Gameplay [2] Trivia Quiz

Answer: Vanguard

The Soldier is the combat specialist, the Adept is the biotic specialist, and the Engineer is the tech specialist.

The Vanguard is the biotic/combat hybrid, and excels at dealing large amounts of damage very fast to quickly rid the battlefield of enemies. Vanguards have access to the Shotguns talent, as well as Tactical Armor and Barrier. They are meant to close distances quickly to eliminate foes. They also have access to offensive biotic talents to disable any would-be threats.

Answer: True

Once you use certain tech or biotic abilities enough times, or when you get enough kills with a certain type of weapon, you will be rewarded with an achievement that will unlock bonus talents. When you create a new character, you get to choose one bonus talent that you do not already have. If you have not unlocked any achievements, then you are not given the option of a bonus talent.

If you make 150 kills with a sniper rifle, you will unlock the Sniper Expert achievement. If you then create a new character that is not a Soldier or an Infiltrator, you will have the option of selecting the Sniper Rifles talent as a bonus talent.

Answer: Adept

The Asari Scientist, like the Adept, is a biotic specialist, and the two classes share many talents. One telling similarity is that both the Asari Scientist and the Adept have access to the Singularity talent, which is naturally exclusive to biotic specialists (it can be selected as a bonus talent for other classes once you have earned the Singularity Mastery achievement).

The Asari Scientist is like the Adept, except it has access to the First Aid and Electronics talents, and lacks the Pistols and Basic Armor talents.

Answer: Ashley Williams

In order to wear heavy armor, characters have to level up the Combat Armor talent. Soldiers and Krogan Battlemasters are the only classes that have access to Combat Armor.

Ashley Williams is a Soldier, and is identical to the Soldier player class. Wrex can also wear heavy armor.

Because these three characters are the only ones who can wear heavy armor, only human and krogan heavy armor exists; turian and quarian heavy armor do not exist.

Answer: Biotic protection bonus

Bio-amps have three attributes: duration bonus, power bonus, and cooldown bonus. Biotic protection is covered by the armor attribute tech/biotic protection, and can be further increased by leveling up certain talents and by adding certain armor modifications.

Answer: Overkill

The Assault Rifles talent unlocks the Overkill ability. Carnage is unlocked by leveling up Shotguns, Marksman is unlocked by leveling up Pistols, and Overload is unlocked by leveling up Electronics (a tech talent).

Overkill is only usable when you are using an assault rifle; you cannot use Overkill when using a sniper rifle, shotgun, or pistol. Overkill reduces heat buildup and increases accuracy for a short time so you can unload many rounds into enemies without worrying about overheating or having to take cover to regain your accuracy.

Answer: Biotic

Stasis is a biotic ability naturally available to a number of classes. Stasis locks an enemy in place with a certain amount of time. The target cannot move, shoot, or use abilities, but cannot be damaged either. Stasis is a good way to temporarily remove strong enemies from a fight while you take out the weaker ones supporting it.

If you choose the Bastion advanced class (available to Adepts and Sentinels) and fully level up the class talent, you will be able to damage enemies while they are in a stasis field.

Answer: Omni-tool upgrades

Each weapon you use will have at least two slots for upgrades. One will be an ammo upgrade, and the other will be a weapon upgrade. Higher level weapons will have an ammo slot and two weapon upgrade slots. All armor in the game will have at least one upgrade slot, and higher level armors can have two.

Ammo upgrades allow the use of special ammunition, such as incendiary rounds, radioactive rounds, and phasic rounds. Weapon upgrades are used to improve weapon stats such as heat generation, damage, and accuracy. Armor upgrades offer increases in shield power, regeneration rate, resistance to toxic effects, and improved cooldown times for abilities.

Omni-tools and bio-amps do not have upgrade slots.

Answer: Engineer

In "Mass Effect" each of the specialization classes has a unique ability that truly sets them apart as masters in their fields.

The Engineer (tech specialist) is the only playable class with natural access to the Hacking talent. This lets the Engineer hack synthetic enemies, disabling their friend/foe recognition software. It will attack anything on the battlefield, including enemies. Non-hacked enemies will also attack their former ally. This can be really useful if you can target an enemy in the middle of a group. It can redirect the attention of your foes, and they may even destroy the hacked enemy, which you still gain experience for.

Leveling up Hacking lowers the cooldown of other tech talents, making it very easy to constantly disable your enemies. Once you have the Master AI Hacking ability, you can take over geth armatures. This is very helpful, especially at places like Therum before entering the mine, where the armature will draw the attention of all weaker units away from you, and even destroy a number of enemies for you.

The Adept (biotic specialist) gets exclusive access to the Singularity talent, which can disable large numbers of enemies for a long time. The Soldier (combat specialist) has exclusive access to Assault Rifles and can wear heavy armor, making him/her the ultimate combat machine.

Answer: Medicine

Neural Shock is the ability granted by the Medicine talent (tech), available naturally to the Engineer and Sentinel. It induces a migraine in the target, causing it to fall over in pain and take toxic damage. Neural Shock is great for Engineers who otherwise don't have much to counter organic enemies. It can be particularly useful against charging krogan.

First Air increases the amount of health regained by using Medi-gel. Medicine also decreases the cooldown for Medi-gel. A Medic with full First Aid and Medicine can keep his/her squad alive very easily. The Medic is a specialization class for the Engineer and Sentinel. A Medic is a fully leveled class talent can revive squad members using Medi-gel, which with First Aid and Medicine, can be used more frequently and to better effect that Unity (granted by Spectre Training).

The Warp ability is unlocked by a biotic talent of the same name. and causes damage over time in a target. Damping is unlocked by a tech talent of the same name, and disables an enemy's ability to use biotic and tech attacks for a short period of time.
