About this mod

Suicide Mission Overhaul Mod restores cut content, and introduces a new and dynamic survival mechanic into the conclusion of Mass Effect 2.

Permissions and credits


Brought to you by the author of Priority: Earth Overhaul Mod, the Suicide Mission Overhaul Mod (SMOM) restores cut content
and introduces new ways for your characters to survive the conclusion of Mass Effect 2.

At the same time, it also fixes some bugs and polishes the final boss fight.

FEATURE SUMMARY

  • Readiness Boosting: Some characters who would originally always fail at a task may now succeed. However, this only applies if the character in question has corresponding cut content, such as Zaeed succeeding as the Fireteam Leader.
    How do you boost their readiness, I hear you ask? By ensuring they're loyal, and by taking them on at least 2 missions featuring Collector enemies. Alternatively, you can romance them and take them on just 1 such mission.
  • Cut Content Restoration: Alongside the above-mentioned outcomes, SMOM also restores numerous voice lines. Some are related to Harbinger, others to EDI, and some to the Biotic Specialist.
  • Boss Fight Improvements: The Human Reaper has been slightly tweaked to be more challenging. Watch your step and bring heavy weapons!
  • Bug Fixes: A few fixes to vanilla bugs that smooth out some rough edges. More might be included in future updates.

SURVIVAL GUIDE / NEW TASK OPTIONS:


Below is a list of characters whose Readiness can be Boosted (see above) and for which task. Characters who aren't listed will fail at that task, as per vanilla.
Remember - loyalty is still mandatory!

  • Tech Specialist: Thane, Jacob, Garrus, Mordin, 
  • Fireteam Leaders: Thane, Zaeed, Grunt
  • Biotic Specialist: Thane, Miranda, Jacob.


CUT CONTENT RESTORATION:

The following cut content has been restored:
  • A voice line from the Biotic Specialist commenting on the Collector Base
  • A voice line from the Biotic Specialist commenting on how difficult it is becoming to hold the barrier
  • A short exchange between Shepard and EDI that provides further detail into the process of Harvesting and what it actually is
  • A voice line from Shepard during the Human-Reaper fight ("I am not letting my people get pumped into one of those things!")
  • 10+ unique voice lines from Harbinger, utilized across the Human-Reaper fight
  • The rest of Harbinger's ending speech


BOSS FIGHT IMPROVEMENTS


  • The Reaper Tubes have significantly more HP. Bring heavy weapons otherwise you won't be able to take them down in the first attempt.
  • Standing on a platform as it gets crushed will kill Shepard instead of teleporting them back. A warning will be visible beforehand.
  • Increased the damage of the Human-Reaper's laser attack.


BUG FIXES / POLISH:

  • Fixed an issue where Shepard would tell The Illusive Man somebody from the team died even if everybody survived.
  • Fixed an issue where the Reaper Tubes would open as soon as the first cutscene ended.
  • Henchmen will no longer yell "Shoot the tubes!" on repeat, and will also only remind you every other tube rather than after each one.
