Don't pay the ferry man. Don't even fix a price. GT: Charon User Info: Shigmiya If you save the base, you get the Reaper Brain War Asset, worth points. If you destroy it, you get the Reaper Heart War Asset, worth points.

Furthermore, players that save the Collector Base will receive the Reaper Brain in Mass Effect 3 , while those that destroy it will receive the Reaper Heart. The first of these two War Assets has a Military Strength of , and the latter has a Military Strength of , making them quite comparable.

This is essentially the end of the consequences that come out of the Collector Base decision, and indeed they are not very impactful overall. One final thing to mention is that if a player reaches the end of Mass Effect 3 with an EMS that is below , then they will only have access to one ending choice.

Commander Shepard's main goal after resurrection is to locate the Collectors' "homeworld" and put a stop to their attacks on human colonies. After infiltrating and escaping a Collector Cruiser, the Collector homeworld is pinpointed near the Milky Way 's core.

After surviving a sudden attack by the Collectors' security systems , the Normandy destroys the Collector Cruiser sent to intercept it, and crash-lands on the Collector Base itself. Deciding that the base must be destroyed to end the Collector threat, Shepard divides the squad into several teams to enter the base and overcome its defenses: Collector troops, husks, and seeker swarms. After fighting their way deep into the base, Shepard and company locate the kidnapped Normandy crew, stored alongside thousands of other humans in pods.

They discover that the Collectors are breaking down the human victims into an organic "paste," which is being piped off to another part of the base. At the base's core, Shepard finds a Human-Reaper larva, constructed using thousands of abducted humans. The nascent Reaper is seemingly destroyed when Shepard shatters the feeding tubes that support it, causing it to fall into the depths of the base. If you go along with the idea, certain characters will disapprove because of the horrifying events that happened there.

Ultimately, the decision is up to you, so you'll need to decide whether to destroy the base or preserve it for Cerberus. Apparently, taking down fan projects could mean more players for the Definitive Edition. Meg appreciates gaming on all formats but primarily spends her time achievement hunting.
