Mass Effect 2: Javelin Launch - N7 walkthrough Mass Effect 2 guide, walkthrough

Last update: 02 June 2021

Received from: automatically after finding an anomaly [Franklin]

Description: The only way to activate this quest is to find an anomaly and you must begin by opening the galaxy map and choosing the Sigurd's Cradle. You must then travel to the planet Watson located in the Skepsis system. Notice that Watson has a moon named Franklin. Click on the moon and confirm that you want to scan its surface. Keep holding the right mouse button and move the mouse until the transmission heard in the background will be very clear. A white dot should appear on the surface and you must click the left mouse button to send a probe there. Land on the surface of the moon to officially start this quest.

You'll watch a short cut-scene at the beginning of this quest and then you'll be allowed to start exploring the [Franklin moon - Javelin silo II] map. Notice that you're going to have to be in a lot of hurry, because this mission has a five-minute time limit. If you won't make any longer stops you should have 60-90 seconds left on the clock at the end of it.

Proceed towards the first junction and get ready to defeat a group of batarian soldiers (they will be standing to your left). I would recommend shooting at them while standing behind larger crates, because the smaller ones may get destroyed. Once they're gone choose a corridor located to your right (second screenshot).

You'll have to solve a mini-game here and don't forget that the clock won't stop while you're trying to solve it. Wait for the door to be opened and immediately take cover in the next room along with the rest of your team.

Start off by eliminating enemies occupying a higher ground (first screenshot) and once they're gone deal with soldiers found to your right. Proceed to the next area, but expect to encounter a new group of enemy units (second screenshot) in the near future.

You can eliminate the last group by staying on the same level as they are or you can go to your left and start shooting at them from an upper platform (first screenshot) which was occupied by the previous group. There are also power cells here, so you won't have to worry about running out of ammunition for your heavy guns. You may now focus only on the mission (it will be possible to explore the ship later on) or you can spend some time searching the area for a canister (second screenshot) with 2000 units of palladium.

Choose a passageway leading to a new door (first screenshot) as soon as you're ready to continue with the mission. It's located beneath the upper platform you've just used. Get ready to solve a new mini-game and then head forward along with the rest of your team towards a bridge seen in the distance (second screenshot).

Get ready to defeat a Batarian leader - he's going to be the main boss in this mission. It would be a good idea to have a tech specialist in the team with an Overload ability, so that you'll have a chance to destroy boss's shields easily. Watch out for your own health bar, because you won't be allowed to use any cover here. Keep fighting until the boss has been killed and then proceed towards the control room he was guarding.

Look around after you've reached the control room. You can take 3750 credits from a nearby safe without hacking into it and then you'll have to interact with the main console. After you've solved a mini-game you'll have to make an important decision. If you want to earn paragon paints you should decide to save the colony and if you want to earn renegade points you should decide to save the industrial district. Wait until one of the missile has been destroyed. You may spend some additional time exploring the surrounding area or you can leave it by pressing and holding the F key.
