N7 HQ

N7 HQ is a BioWare website released on October 11, 2012, featuring stat-tracking and gameplay data. N7 HQ allows players to view their progress in the Mass Effect 3 single-player campaign and in Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer. From the N7 HQ main page, players can view their Profile, Challenge Awards and Inventory in Multiplayer, as well as the Galaxy at War system and Achievements of their single-player campaign.

As of June 6, 2013, Mass Effect: Datapad, an app for iOS devices which allows players to interface with Galaxy at War, is no longer available for sale through the App Store. However, a browser-based version of the app has been implemented into the N7 HQ site.

Profile
From the profile screen, you can track your ranking, challenges and set your in-game rewards; view characters, inventory and leaderboards; and explore other players' profiles and learn how they operate.

The default page displays your general data such as your name, rankings and banner details. From this page you can also view other profiles to know more about your friends or top players. By typing a profile name into the search field and launching the search, you will access all of that profile's information.


 * You can hide your profile by changing your privacy settings. The data of hidden profiles will not be accessible to others' games.

Overview
This welcome page displays general information on the profile:


 * The numbers of hours spent in the Multiplayer cooperative mode of Mass Effect 3.
 * The games played in the Multiplayer cooperative mode of Mass Effect 3.
 * Current credits available to spend in the Store.
 * The worldwide N7 ranking of the profile and its place on the top.
 * The worldwide Challenge ranking of the profile and its place on the top.

The page also shows the recent evolutions on your challenges. It gives the challenges recently achieved by the player, and challenges that are almost completed. It displays every challenge bar, distinguishing between major (gold medal) and minor (silver medal) ones.

Challenges
This page displays the level of completion of all Challenges available in Multiplayer. It also displays the number of times you've completed a specific Challenge as well as your unlocked banners.

Like the Challenge system, this page is divided into three categories (General/Aliens/Weapons) to facilitate navigation.

This page also displays the list of all previous Weekend Events and Weekend Challenges and their completion status. A gold medal is awarded for each completed event while the medal remains grey for a failed or missed special week-end. When an event is missed, it is impossible to get its medal.

Characters
This page features a list of the unlocked characters on your profile and the current level of each class. By clicking on the different characters, the page will display their current skill tree. This function allows you to compare your builds with those of other players.

Inventory
This page features a list of the available equipment and characters for Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer acquired via the Store. The page classifies the items by their rarity level and displays the level of each of those unlockable items:
 * Weapons - Arsenal available on the account.
 * Characters - Classes and races available and the level of personalization of their appearance.
 * Weapons Mods - The mods available to improve the effectiveness of your weapons.
 * Equipment – The stock of the single-use items, Equipment, and Supplies on the account.
 * Gear – The level of the available Gear items.

Leaderboards
The Leaderboards page displays the rankings of your account, also comparing them with those of other players. The first table shows your N7 ranking, the second your Challenge Ranking. The Promotion ranking is not displayed in these tables.

For each Ranking, the displayed profile is compared with the worldwide ranking and the country of that user's ranking. If possible, the rankings of the profile’s friends are also displayed.

Achievements
This page features a list of all the Achievements available in the single-player campaign and in Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer. The page is divided into unlocked achievements and other ones. It also displays the achievements included in the DLC pack, whether you have unlocked them or not.

Codex
The Codex section includes a portion of the primary and secondary Codex entries of the Mass Effect franchise.

Challenge Awards
This page features a list of the banner(s) that you have unlocked for your profile. You can change the banner that will be displayed in your N7 HQ account and in the lobby of a new Multiplayer game.

You must sign out of Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer for this change to take effect.

Galaxy at War
This page allows you to review and to improve your Effective Military Strength (EMS) in the Mass Effect 3 main campaign. From your internet browser, you can either act on your Military Strength or your Galactic Readiness.

Galactic Readiness
In the Galaxy at War mode, users can view their Galaxy at War Readiness Rating as well as deploy five fleets to various locations in the galaxy for an increase in readiness, according to the length of the mission in the associated theater. Once a fleet is deployed, the player must wait out the duration of the mission, after which the rewards can be collected (+2.80%, +2.98% or +3.17% in Readiness Rating).

Since June 6, 2013, this browser-based galactic map replaces the mini-game contained in the Mass Effect: Datapad app. This version of the game is a simplified version of the mini-game, as it does not include the same reward mechanism: the credits and upgrade mechanisms have been removed. The fleets' characteristics have disappeared, and the reward, in terms of Galactic Readiness, is now fixed at its highest level. The duration of the longest mission has also been shortened and your fleets will not become unavailable after their missions.

Online War Assets
This page displays the "online" War Assets that you have unlocked in your Mass Effect 3 single-player campaign. These bonuses will increase your military strength, allowing for an easier final mission.
 * N7 Special Ops Team: Each time you promote a multiplayer class, you will gain one rating point of this war asset. This rating is unlimited. Each rank adds 75 points to your military strength.
 * Cerberus Escapees: Each time you unlock a reward in the mobile game Mass Effect: Infiltrator, you will gain one rating point of this war asset. The best ranking available is three. Each rank adds 40 points your military strength.
