The launch of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition has not only brought new gamers into the world of Mass Effect but has also given veterans a new incentive to complete optional content that they might have missed in their previous playthroughs. One of these missions is N7: Javelin Missiles Launched, in which you need to use a kill switch to make a difficult decision.
What's even more difficult is getting through the Batarian squads in order to reach the fire control center. Hitting that kill switch has some big consequences for thousands of people, so here's all you need to know before taking on this mission.
Updated April 24, 2023, by Sean Murray: You'd think that Shepard would get Paragon or Renegade points, depending on their decision, but this is one of the few Mass Effect missions where you won't get either. We've made that a little clearer with a few formatting changes.
How Do You Get To The Missile Fire Control Center?
You usually receive this quest from EDI, who sends Shepard a message about an Alliance colony under attack. You must have completed the quest N7: Blue Suns Base first. You can also acquire it as soon as you unlock the Sigurd's Cradle cluster, though, by scanning the moon called Franklin, of a planet named Watson in the Skepsis system.
You only have five minutes to complete this fast-paced mission.
As you and your squad rush through the base, you'll have to fight off Batarians left and right. Eventually, you'll fight two Batarian Commanders and their Troopers. Once they're dealt with, you can bypass the nearby door and access the silo control room.
Once you enter the room, you'll have to fight another tough Batarian Commander and make your final decision by hacking a nearby console.
Save your game before starting this hack if you want to be able to change your mind.
EDI informs Shepard that there is only one kill switch code remaining, but two places are in danger. You must choose which to save.
- The city, or the residential district of the colony.
- The spaceport, the industrial district of the colony.
Should You Save The Spaceport Or The Residential District?
There are no consequences depending on your decision at the end of N7: Javelin Missiles Launched.
- Your decision does not provide any Renegade or Paragon points
- This mission is not mentioned again as a War Asset during Mass Effect 3.
