Mass Effect 3: Kinect Commands Guide

The Reapers are on Earth in Mass Effect 3, and Commander Shepard is going to all the help he can get to drive the alien menace back. For players excited to give voice commands a try and get a leg up over the Reapers, Bioware has included Kinect functionality on the X-box 360 version of the space-RPG-shooter epic. Below, weve got a quick and dirty guide to get you started with the Kinect.

Kinect Commands Guide

Tips and Tricks

  • To give commands with the Kinect, speak clearly, and use the keywords listed below.
  • Giving commands to Cmdr. Shepard is as simple as stating the command.
  • Words like Open or Examine allow Shepard to interact with the environment, while weapon names or ammo types will automatically switch. For example: Open, Examine, Shotgun, Assault Rifle, Sniper Rifle, Pistol, Incediary Ammo, Cyro Ammo, etc.
  • To gives your squadmates commands, state the name of your squadmate followed by a command keyword. Some commands require the aiming reticule to target enemies or areas.
  • For example: Say Garrus Incendiary Ammo and Garrus will switch to Incendiary Ammo. Or, say Ashley Follow to command Ashley to follow you. Say Liara Attack and use your reticule to have Liara attack an area.
  • Voice commands are best for avoiding the squad command menu. Issuing special attack commands with Kinect is much faster than using the on-screen menu.
