Here's a fun little Easter Egg for everyone out there who's picked up Mass Effect Legendary Edition. An ex-BioWare developer has shared one hidden secret from Mass Effect 3, which he says "no one ever stumbled upon".
The cool fact was shared by the former BioWare designer Richard Boisvert on Reddit (thanks, Eurogamer), who laid out the precise commands needed to activate it. It all takes place within the Mars mission and can be triggered by following a specific path through some solar panels.
Without spoiling the full contents of what the Easter Egg is (although you can see it in full in the video above), it features a Mars Rover performing some cute little actions. While Boisvert claims this is a secret no one has stumbled upon, it was actually spotted last year when a modder used a free camera to explore the environment. At the time, the Mars Rover was spotted, but it was unknown whether it did anything - until now.
At least players are now aware of how to actually access the Easter Egg, and have confirmation that it was in fact purposefully inserted. If you don't have Mass Effect Legendary Edition, feel free to try it on Mass Effect 3 via backwards compatibility. It'll be interesting to see if any more emerge in the coming weeks!
Will you be testing out this Easter Egg? Let us know in the comments below.

I love stuff like this.
Looking forward to trying it out when I get there in the remake 😁
Question for anyone that has the legendary edition. Is it worth getting? Or can I just play the original games via Gamepass?
@P3nguinprisM Hard to say. I've played both and I can't see much of a difference in 2 and 3. Been years since playing the originals though so I'mno expert. The original does look better. Having all the dlc together is pretty nice as well.
If you're ok spending full price on games you can play with backwards compatible then go for it. If you're looking to save money then I would say wait.
@P3nguinprisM If you want to play the entire saga, from the first one, get the Legendary edition. They made some small but huge QOL changes that make the game ridiculously better. That game did not age well, at least the original version didnt.
The Legendary edition of the first one is a very good game.
If you just rather skip the fist one (as some ME fans would actually recommend before Legendary ed came out) then, other than visuals, you might be fine just playing the GamePass versions. There is a recap interactive comic at the start of 2 that tells you all that happened in the first game.
But one of the cool things about these games is making choices, and seeing the repercussions of those choices in the sequel. If you just start with the second one, you miss out on that.
TLDR: I recommend getting the Legendary edition and playing it from the start.
Side note, not a spoiler: if you play the first one, your money carries over to the second one, making it a lot easier to play through. Its SO much easier to make money on the first game by selling most drops (you cant really sell stuff in ME2.) You can reach the ME1 money cap if you hack and loot all you can. Still playing thorough ME2 so no clue if my money will carry over to ME3.
@Tharsman Thanks so much for the long reply! I think I’ll pick up the Legendary edition because I do want to see how my choices play out through the series.
@P3nguinprisM one final note: if you are in no rush, it’s likely this game will be part of EA Play a year after launch, if you on a budget, or if it was going into your backlog anyways.
No one post video i guess)
