A question to BW team:

Say I am after "Singularity Use" challenge, so with my adept I shoot a singularity to a guy and then a throw which kills the guy with the "Biotic Explosion", do I get point for Singularity in regard to the challenge or do the points get sucked into the other challenge "Detonate X Biotic Explosions" or do I get points in both?

I believe you get points in both

Whose idea was it to give the Harrier two challenges for it?

Now its OP for getting challenge points!


Most guns have 2 places to get challenges, you cant just use the harrier though

I don't think this question was asked but sorry if it was. Let's assume I got a gold challenge completed as well as the associated title and banner. If new challenges are added in this category after that, will I lose the banner and the title until I complete the new ones ?


Once a banner is unlocked, it stays unlocked

Just a quick question for you Devs, how does the solo run challenge work, is it if i do 10 bronzes it will count as a platinum? or is it if i do a platinum i'll get one in the others? thanks for any help. And i wish to applaud anyone who can solo a platinum WITHOUT cheating ;o) lol


If you do platinum you get credits for all other difficulties if you do bronze you only get credit for bronze

Will our character names ever display or serve a purpose? Perhaps showing up with banners or on manifest at least?


No because there is no way to control what people name there character and enforcing something racist for an example would be a great deal of work

Is there a reason the silver challenges don't 'prestige' until after their respective gold challenge has been completed?  Personally, I find it annoying in the sense of micromanaging builds, loadouts, and gameplay to minimize waste on completed-but-not-yet-prestiged challenges.

In the absence of this system, we would see a more steady influx of challenge points with titles acting as the more focused incentive for completing the gold challenges.  I see the gold challenges more as lengthy barriers to looping silver challenges than ways to unlock titles as things currently stand.


Because doing something like you could repeat the harrier 9 times would defeat the purpose of the entire system.

There is something I do not understand:

I know that the Operation Resurgence is not working rigth now and they look for it but still there is 15 event and I have 15 prom. gun. I'm sure I always did the event and got the guns, but there was one event when we got TWO weapon (one in the victory pack).

So shouldnt be there only 14 event or what I missed?


Its possible you didnt open your pack for one of them

And a stupid question: if I have more than one Banner, can I switch betwen them as many time I wanted without doing them again? So if I'm earned a banner is that mine to use forever?


Once you have unlocked it, it remains unlocked

Hi all we are investigating the following issues currently:
- Enemy Mastery + Combat Mastery can be put into a bad state
- Turian Ghost/Havoc waves complete are not completing properly
- Partial Extractions are not counting towards extract progress

Which timer is more accurate?
Origin tells me I have played 45 hours of Mass Effect 3.
N7 HQ tells me I have played 117H 6M 21S
That is quite a discrepancy and I have not really been timing myself.

Maybe I can use another way to measure. I could count up all the experience I've acquired, and compare that to average amount of EXP gained per hour, overall and see where that puts me?

Or maybe Origin only counts Single Player time, while N7 HQ measures all/just Multiplayer?


Origin didn't start calculating the time played until a recent release, it also measure if you just have the game open and alt+tab'd or whatever

nice =)

Considering that I did the geth mastery but only hunter silver challenges was restarted, there's any risk that the progres on geth mastery I'm doing now will be lost when the problem is solved? 


We are looking into options for players who have already got into this state

 I see a lot of players using banners for challenges they haven't completed. How are they unlocking these banners?

As an example:

Image IPB



That person did complete the challenge and now it has reset and they are working on it again.

My poor choice of example. 





We can see unclompleted silver challenges. I have Death Guard banner myself, without completing all the Reaper mastery silver challenges(Huks points is missing):





Took out pictures, everything is working fine with this. They dont require every silver challenge to complete gold. And they have completed the gold level so the silver level reset.

Thanks for asking, as there seems to be a problem:

I'm using firefox 8 on Ubuntu 11.04 and I cannot use the n7hq interface. all I see is the first page of the challenges (squad, spectre, solo, etc). If I click the Alien or Weapons tab or one of the challenges, nothing happens. Any ideas?


Can you try upgrading to the latest Firefox?  That has fixed the problem for everyone else.

Okay. So is there a rule of how many silver challenges are required?

I understand the silver level reset, but the "times completed" count is 0. I thought I needed every silver challenge for a gold challenge. Thanks for the clarification.


Generally it is about 80%, if you look in the N7 HQ. You'll notice the person is at 2/14 (meaning you need 14). Also since that person completed it once already their progress bar shows full, this is just to show the user they completed it once already.

By the way, why wont the Alien and Weapons -sections open in N7 HQ? You can only view the General -section. Shouldn't we be able to view them all, like in-game?


If you are using firefox, update your version. If you are using something else message Jesse Reid

Investigations are never a set amount of time, there is no reason for players to hold off, we are still trying to come up with a solution but removing substaintial progress is something we want to avoid.

We have a pretty good idea of the cause of all of these

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but I've been playing an N7 Shadow, and I'd expect Shadow Strike to register points under Combat Mastery - Melee Damage Use, but I don't think that's happening.

Doesn't the description for Shadow Strike say it's melee?

I tested this. They do not count towards the challenge. Wasting your time, as did I. 


Shadow strike has its own challenge

What happens if you uninstall retaliation dlc play a bunch then reunstall? Do you lose challenge progress already gained? Would actions done while retaliation is uninstalled count toward challenges after reinstalation?

I really liked playing my salarian engineer on the old fbw. I find him to be a totally useless character with the new version.


You wont lose progress, but without retaliation you wont gain it

I have this problem with Turian Ghost/havoc though it shows that Commando Mastery is 100% but i can't set the title.

Any estimated time for a fix?


Bryan is out today so I'm not sure if he'll be responding. It looks like the bug is that the "Times Completed" value is still at 0 for the Turian Ghost and Turian Havoc even though you've completed the required number of waves. In the meantime you can try completing the Salarian Engineer and Asari Justicar challenges to get the 12/12 and hopefully that will cause it to unlock.

Sorry if this is already answered.

Does the shield boost of the volus stack with the stim pack/geth turret/demolisher pylon?

How does shield boosting work? When you put a shield boosting equipment on say, a turian ghost, does the percentage of increase add up from the raw score or does it include the stim pack?

With a destroyer, does a gear or equipment percentage of increase add up from the base or including the shields added with devastator mode?
