Release	No information
Achievement Total	52
Genre	Sci-fi/Action/RPG

Mass Effect 3 is the third and final installment of the Mass Effect trilogy, developed by BioWare and published by EA Games. The player again assumes the fully customisable role of Commander Shepard as the Reapers launch their invasion of the galaxy. As with previous games, the player is able to carry over save files from Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, where the choices they made in those games will affect their experience in Mass Effect 3.

Due to controversy over the ending, players have the option of downloading the Mass Effect 3 - Extended Cut DLC for free, which expands on the original ending with additional dialogue and cutscenes.

This achivement unlocks as you start the mission Priority: Cerberus Headquarters if you have an Effective Millitary Strength (EMS) rating of 4000 or higher (although if you have the Extended Cut DLC installed, is is changed to 3,100 Total Military Strength). Your TMS and EMS will depend on decisions you have made throughout the story, multiplayer and any additional War Assets you have discovered through planet scanning. A fuller guide is pending.

When you enter a Reaper-controlled system, which is represented by a Reaper hovering over it on the galaxy map, you have the option to scan the system for War Assets. Pressing the scan button scans an area around the Normandy, and if you have found anything a red circle will pop up around the planet in question. To acquire the Asset, enter the orbit of the planet and use on-screen prompts to scan the planet's surface. Move the scanner in the direction indicated by the white line until you encounter a white dot, then use on-screen prompts to dispatch the probe. Do this ten times to unlock the achivement, but be warned: excessive scanning in a system will alert the Reapers to your presence (see also: Untouchable achivement).
	Long Service Medal	Complete Mass Effect 3 twice, or once with a character imported from Mass Effect 2.	50/Silver
This achivement can either be earned by completing Mass Effect 3 twice (completing it once and then selecting the 'New Game+' option on the main menu) or by selecting the 'Import ME2 Character' option on the main menu and completing the game once. Note that this option will only be available if you have a Mass Effect 2 save file.

It is recommended you work on the Unwavering achivement at the same time as this one. For full details see an Insanity Walkthrough (pending).
	A Personal Touch	Modify a weapon.	10/Bronze
Every weapon in the game can be upgraded with up to two mods, which are themselves spread throughout the game's levels and the stores. To get this achivement, you must apply a mod to a weapon, which can be done via the squad menu before a mission starts - select the weapon you want to mod, press Square to go to the mod screen, select the mod you want to attach and press X to attach it to the weapon. While on a mission, you can only mod weapons at weapon benches, and the first weapon mods you find will be on the Priority: Mars mission.
	Paramour	Establish or rekindle a romantic relationship.	25/Bronze
See the Mass Effect Romance Guide for details (pending).
	Combined Arms	Perform any combination of 50 Biotic Combos or Tech Bursts.	25/Silver

	Recruit	Kill 250 enemies. This is cumulative with the Soldier and Veteran achivements. Kills are tracked across all playthroughs and multiplayer.	10/Bronze
	Soldier	Kill 1000 enemies.	15/Bronze
	Veteran	Kill 5000 enemies.	25/Silver
These achievements are self-explanatory, and do not have to be completed in a single playthrough. The total number of kills is counted across all playthroughs and multiplayer.
	Bruiser	Kill 100 enemies with melee attacks. Kills are tracked across all playthroughs and multiplayer.	10/Bronze
Melee attacks can be executed using the Circle button, and a heavy melee by holding it. In order to count for this trophy, the killing blow must be delivered by a melee attack.
	Untouchable	Escape a Reaper on the galaxy map.	10/Bronze
This achievement can be earned by travelling to a Reaper-controlled star cluster on the galaxy map and scanning enough to alert the Reapers. When the Reapers enter the system, return to the Mass Relay as fast as possible and plot the relay jump. The Reapers can also be escaped by leaving the star system to travel to another in the same cluster, although the Reapers will still be in the system until you complete another mission.
	Overload Specialist	Overload the shields of 100 enemies. Overloads are tracked across all playthroughs and multiplayer.	15/Bronze
Use the Overload power to deplete the shields of 100 enemies. In order to count, the Overload must remove the enterity of the shield. Also, overloads used by squadmates do not count - the player must be the origin of the power. In singleplayer, Overload is a power available to the Engineer and Sentinel classes, and in multiplayer it is available to the Geth Engineer, Human Engineer, Turian Sentinel and Turian Ghost Infiltrator characters.
	Sky High	Lift 100 enemies off the ground with powers. Lifts are tracked across all playthroughs and multiplayer.	15/Bronze
A 'lift' is an attack that lifts enemies into the air or throws them to the ground. Specific lift powers are available to the following classes: Soldier (Concussive Shot), Adept (Singularity, Pull, Throw), Sentinel (Throw, Lift Grenade) and Vanguard (Pull). Note that the squadmate powers will not count towards this achivement.
	Pyromaniac	Set 100 enemies on fire with powers. Fires are tracked across all playthroughs and multiplayer.	15/Bronze
The following player classes have abilities that can set enemies alight: Soldier (Incendiary Ammo), Engineer (Incinerate), Infiltrator (Incinerate) and Vanguard (Incendiary Ammo). Note that squadmate powers will not count towards this achivement.
	Eye of the Hurricane	Kill a Brute when its charging you. This achievement can also be earned in multiplayer.	10/Bronze
This achivement can be awkward, but if done correctly can be easy. To earn this achivement you must kill a Brute while it is performing its special Charge attack. The best way to do this is to get it down to half a quarter health then get far away from it, forcing it to perform its Charge attack. It will squat down right before it charges, which works as a signal to open fire. Note that if you don't move out of the way as you shoot, the Brute will hit you and interrupt your attack. If you are having trouble, try using the Adrenaline Rush power to slow down time. Brutes are encountered on most missions where the enemies are the Reapers, starting with Priority: Palaven.
	Mail Slot	Kill 10 guardians with headshots from the front when their sheilds are active. Mail Slots are tracked across all playthroughs and muliplayer.	10/Bronze
	Hijacker	Hijack an Atlas Mech. This achievement can also be earned in multiplayer.	10/Bronze
	Giant Killer	Defeat a Harvester.	10/Bronze
Harvesters can be found in the missions Priority': Thessia, Priority: Earth, Tuchanka: Turian Platoon and the DLC mission Namakli: Leviathan. This achivement cannot be missed, as the Harvesters must be killed in order to progress on the missions Priority: Earth, Tuchanka: Turian Platoon and Namakli: Leviathan.

Multiplayer Achievements

All of these achievements have two conditions that will unlock them - one in multiplayer and one in singleplayer. Only one of these conditions needs to be filled to unlock the achievement.

Icon	Name	Notes	Gamerscore/Trophy Level
	Enlisted	Start a character in Multiplayer or customise a character in Single Player.	5/Bronze
	Tour of Duty	Finish all multiplayer maps or all N7 missions in Single Player.	20/Bronze

	Almost There	Reach Level 15 in multiplayer or Level 50 in Single player.	15/Bronze
	Peak Condition	Reach Level 20 in multiplayer or Level 60 in Singleplayer.	25/Bronze
Both levelling achivements are easier to earn in Multiplayer than in Singleplayer, since there are fewer levels in Multiplayer. In Multiplayer, you can get a character to level 20 in an evening or two, while in Singleplayer it should take at least 3 playthroughs (2 if you import a max-level character from Mass Effect 2).
	Battle Scarred	Promote a multiplayer character to the Galaxy at War, or import a Mass Effect 3 character after a completed playthrough.	25/Bronze
	Unwavering	Finish all multiplayer maps on Gold, or all Singleplayer missions in Insanity.	50/Gold
