Mass Effect Cheats & Codes

There are cheats for the PC version of Mass Effect, but in order to use them you must first do some document editing. Because of the fact that you have to edit an installed document, you are doing so at your own risk.

Head to the folder where the game is installed (which will end in BioWareMass Effect) and then go to Config. Open the file BIOInput as a text document. Then, find the line Engine.Console and, directly underneath it, create a new line that says ConsoleKey=Tilde (this is the best button choice to bring up the cheats console). Save your file thereafter. Once you play the game again, you can press the tilde (~) key to bring up the cheats console, where the cheats below can be inserted.

Armor in Mass Effect is created for specific types of creatures and classes. However, there’s a way around that so that you can get any character to wear any piece of armor. To do it, try the following technique below.

1.) Head to the equipment menu and head to the character you want to re-equip, finding the piece of armor you want him or her to wear regardless of the character’s race or class and regardless of the armor type.

2.) Including the piece of armor you want to equip, count down the pieces of armor to the bottom of the inventory list.

3.) On any piece of armor, click the upgrade option. On any upgrade, opt to turn it into Omni Gel and then quickly opt out. This should return you back to the upgrades menu. Count down from the bottom of that list the number that you earlier acquired when you counted down on the armor list. Now click on that upgrade and transfer the upgrades by hitting yes.

If done properly, you should now be equipped with the desired piece of armor regardless of type.
