Neural Shock

For the Mass Effect talent, see Medicine.

Neural Shock is a tech power in Mass Effect 2. Neural Shock paralyzes organic enemies for a brief amount of time. At Rank 2 and higher, it permanently impairs the enemy's accuracy as well.

Rank 4

Heavy Neural Shock

• Mordin's shock strength on a single target is so severe that multiple shocks can be chained together to deny an enemy any chance of action.
  • Recharge Time: 3.00 seconds (Shepard); 9.00 seconds (Mordin)
  • Duration: 12.00 seconds

Neural Shockwave

• Mordin's shock capacitors are greatly increased, allowing a wide area of effect to hit multiple targets.
  • Recharge Time: 3.00 seconds (Shepard); 9.00 seconds (Mordin)
  • Duration: 9.00 seconds
  • Impact Radius: 3.00 meters

Game mechanics

• When fired this power will travel in a straight line, instantly hitting the target.
• Targets will first stand up straight for one or two seconds and then fall over. If the target takes damage before falling over, Neural Shock often gets canceled.
• Targets take double weapon damage after falling over until they start to get up (ragdoll damage bonus).
• Krogan regeneration is permanently stopped.
• Enemies in the process of getting up (e.g. after falling over from a previous Neural Shock or Cryo Blast) are immune.

Player Notes

• Neural Shock will instantly kill unarmored Husks.

Availability

• Shepard via Advanced Training
