Pinnacle Station


Convoy



Given by: Admiral Ahern on Pinnacle Station in the Phoenix System
Location: Pinnacle Station
Requirements: Spectre Status, Install Pinnacle Station DLC

1 - Shepard's New Place
After completing all the challenges on Pinnacle Station, Admiral Ahern gives you his retirement home on the nearby planet Intai'sei in the Phoenix System. There are lockers here where you can replenish grenades and medigel. You can also check the personal computer to access a convoy in the System that will give you random items for a set fee. Once you have used the convoy feature, the assignment concludes.


Combat Missions



Given by: Admiral Ahern on Pinnacle Station in the Phoenix System
Location: Pinnacle Station
Requirements: Spectre Status, Install Pinnacle Station DLC

1 - Getting Started
When you enter Pinnacle Station, head through the doors to the command center and speak with Admiral Ahern. He will tell you to talk to Tech Officer Ochren to start a simulator mission. Continue south to reach the observation deck where you can find Ochren, along with a Scoreboard Console you can access to check your rankings in each event.



PINNACLE STATION COMBAT SCENARIOS


By talking to Ochren you can access several combat training scenarios. There are twelve scenarios in total (four combat modes to choose from, each available in three different environments).

-> In Time Trial mode you must defeat all enemies as quickly as possible.
-> In Capture mode you must capture all designated objectives as quickly as possible.
-> In Survival mode you must stay alive as long as you can against an increasing number of enemies.
-> In Hunt mode the timer counts down, and you gain extra time by killing enemies.

Below is a list of the top times or scores you need to beat in order to place
first in each scenario.

Time Trial - Warehouse - 1:24.67 (to kill 20 hostiles)
Time Trial - Tropical - 1:20.94 (to kill 25 hostiles)
Time Trial - Volcanic - 1:54.61 (to kill 20 hostiles)

Capture - Volcanic - 2:00.53 (to capture 3 objectives)
Capture - Tropical - 1:58.67 (to capture 4 objectives)
Capture - Subterranean - 1:29.47 (to capture 3 objectives)

Survival - Volcanic - 1:31.83
Survival - Tropical - 1:46.43
Survival - Subterranean - 2:20.57

Hunt - Subterranean - 35 (with 0:25 to start)
Hunt - Volcanic - 43 (with 0:10 to start)
Hunt - Tropical - 50 (with 0:25 to start)




2 - Combat Simulations
To progress in the simulator you first have to get the high score in eight scenarios. In Hunt, Capture, and Time Trial modes, just move as fast as you can, and use your radar to locate enemies. In Survival mode find a corner to hole up in and use the environment to funnel your enemies into a small field of fire. Once you learn the terrain of each environment the challenges should become easier. Once you have beaten the first two scenarios in each mode, a third scenario in each mode becomes available.

4 - Ahern's Challenge
When you place first in all twelve scenarios, Ahern will approach you and offer a special challenge. He has designed a scenario in the simulator based on a mission he took part in during the First Contact War. Talk to Ochren to begin the simulation. When the mission begins, head down the steps and go straight for the Data Bank in the middle of the arena. Once you retrieve the data all you have to do is hold off the turian mercenaries for five minutes. There are two Surface-to-Air Defense Turrets on the north side you can activate, though they aren't much help against moving enemies. You can retreat to the area in which you started the mission, or head to the south and pick off the enemies as they cross the two bridges. Completing this scenario finishes the assignment.


Vidinos



Given by: Vidinos on Pinnacle Station in the Phoenix System
Location: Pinnacle Station
Requirements: Spectre Status, Install Pinnacle Station DLC

1 - Assist Lieutenant Bryant
After placing first in an event you exit the combat arena to find two of your fellow competitors arguing. Guard Captain Vidinos is accusing Lieutenant Bryant of tampering with the simulator to get higher scores. He agrees to leave Bryant alone if you can prove that a human is capable of beating his high scores.

2 - Your Reward
When you outscore Vidinos in the first eight scenarios he withdraws his charges against Bryant and lets you take one of his weapons. Based on your choice, a leveled sniper rifle, shotgun, pistol, or assault rifle will be placed into your inventory.
