"Mass Effect 3: Multiplayer" Locations Quiz

Answer: Firebase Condor

Firebase Condor was added with the "Resurgence Pack," released on April 10, 2012, a month after "Mass Effect 3." Condor used the same dark pallet and skybox as the Priority Palaven mission in the single player game. Condor was an open map, with a high ridge and long sight lines, making it excellent for snipers. Menae was a moon of Palaven, the turian homeworld.

Answer: Firebase Jade

Firebase Jade was added with the "Rebellion Pack," released on May 29, 2012, almost three months after "Mass Effect 3." It used the same assets and looked very similar to the mission Priority: Sur'Kesh from the single player game. It was a secret base hidden in a tropical forest, using a green and beige colour scheme.

This map had long sight lines good for sniping, and a bridge and narrow path ways to sneak around. Sur'Kesh was the salarian homeworld.

Answer: Firebase Giant

Firebase Giant was one of the six original maps, set on the krogan homeworld, Tuchanka. It was particularly popular among players trying to complete multiplayer missions alone to complete the "Lone Wolf" challenge introduced in the "Retaliation" DLC pack.

In the single player game, the mission N7: Cerberus Attack used this map. The hazard version of this map (introduced in "Retaliation") moved from day to night, making it harder to see enemies. Occasionally the anti-orbital guns would fire, causing disorienting flashes of light.

Answer: Firebase Hydra

Firebase Hydra was added with the "Resurgence Pack." It was a large open field at the base of a hydroelectric dam on Arvuna, a location not seen in the single player game. The description of the map in the "Resurgence Pack" announcement blog post stated that the dam provided power for the communications facility for Firebase Dagger on Ontarom, and read as if Hydra was also meant to be on Ontarom, but the final location in-game was Arvuna. Firebase Hydra and Firebase Ontarom were the only two maps set in the Attican Traverse.

The batarian Shar'lak was a character mentioned in an Alliance News Network blog post, an in-universe news report during the Reaper War taking place in "Mass Effect 3."

Answer: Firebase White

Firebase White was one of the six original maps, taking place on Noveria, a snowy world first seen in "Mass Effect," known for minimal corporate regulation or oversight. In "Mass Effect 3," the single player mission N7: Cerberus Fighter Base used this map.

Firebase White, like the other six original maps, received a hazard variant with the "Retaliation Pack." On this map, a blizzard would periodically flare up, causing a whiteout in the exterior areas. Thermal scopes could still see through the storm. Firebase White was altered by the "Retaliation Pack" to add two new corridors.

Lieutenant Girard, a character from "Mass Effect," was mentioned in an Alliance News Network post as being injured while fighting Cerberus on Noveria.

Answer: Firebase Ghost

Firebase Ghost was one of the six original maps, set on the human colony world of Benning. The single player mission N7: Cerberus Abductions took place on the map. The mission was given by Ambassador Osoba, who was concerned for his son who was an Alliance marine stationed on Benning.

The hazard version of Firebase Ghost, added with the "Retaliation Pack," was periodic acid rain that would slowly damage shields and barriers. When the rain started, players could either fight with damaged shields, or take shelter in/under buildings.

Answer: Firebase Reactor

Firebase Reactor was one of the six original maps, set on Cyone, a world not seen before. It was the location of the N7: Fuel Reactors single player mission. Shepard was sent in to help Captain Lee Riley, an N7 graduate, to take back control of the facility. It was the only N7 mission in "Mass Effect 3" in which Shepard fought Reaper enemies (the other five were Cerberus).

The hazard version of Firebase Reactor had the central reactor build up energy. With the push of a button, the reactor core could be sealed and vented, damaging any players or enemies caught inside.

Answer: Firebase Goddess

Firebase Goddess was added with the "Rebellion Pack," and used the same assets that were seen in the Priority: Thessia mission late in the "Mass Effect 3" story. Thessia was the homeworld of the asari. Firebase Goddess had a few long sight lines, but was generally smaller than most maps.

Answer: Firebase Dagger

Firebase Dagger was one of the six original maps, set on Ontarom, an optional world from "Mass Effect" that was famous for having a shifty looking space cow that would steal Shepard's credits.

In "Mass Effect 3," the mission N7: Communications Hub took place on this map. In that mission, Shepard saved a technician named Grace Sato, who was sneaking around and avoiding Cerberus troops. The hazard version of Firebase Dagger, introduced in the "Retaliation" DLC, had a sandstorm that periodically flared up to reduce visibility (similar to the blizzard on the Firebase White hazard map).

Answer: Firebase Glacier

Firebase Glacier was one of the six original maps, set on Sanctum. The mission N7: Cerberus Lab took place on this map. During that mission, Shepard could read two harrowing personal log entries from C. Talavi, a Cerberus recruit. In the first, he was getting ready for his integration into the squad. The second was after he had had Reaper-derived technology implanted, removing his personality and making him fiercely loyal to Cerberus. On the Citadel, Shepard could overhear Talavi's sister asking to be put in a position to fight Reapers instead of Cerberus, because she doesn't want to risk fighting her brother.

Firebase Glacier was the smallest map in the multiplayer game, making it great for fast games and close-range combat. It was the only map (even with all DLC packs) set in the Terminus Systems. In the "Retaliation" DLC, the hazard version was added, which had a wandering Collector Seeker Swarm. Players caught inside the swarm would take damage, and shooting the swarm would make it angry, doubling its radius. A small room was also removed from the map in the "Retaliation" DLC.
