Mass Effect UNC: Valuable Minerals Gas Locations

Mass Effect has an array of side assignments players can pick up as they explore the galaxy.

Of these, the longest and arguably most tedious is the UNC: Valuable Minerals assignment. Unlike other similar tasks, Valuable Minerals has four distinct parts in which players must find a large amount of a particular resource. These can be found by surveying planets from above or launching the Mako to the surface and manually investigating the deposits found there. Of the four—heavy metal, light metal, rare earth, and gas—the easiest to complete is gas as it only requires six deposits. Additionally, gas can only be surveyed. Players won't find deposits on the planet's surface.

Mass Effect UNC: Valuable Minerals Gas Locations

Since gas can only be found via survey from above, there is no need to segment this list. Each location is organized by the cluster, system, and then planet, in that order.

• Argos Rho: Hydra—Syba
• Artemis Tau: Athens—Circe
• Artemis Tau: Sparta—Ontamalca
• Artemis Tau: Athens—Proteus
• Artemis Tau: Knossos—Archanes
• Artemis Tau: Macedon—Fargeluse
• Hades Gamma: Antaeus—Edmos
• Horsehead Nebula: Strenuus—Antitarra
• Kepler Verge: Newton—Juncro
• Voyager Cluster: Amazon—Tremar

There are ten deposits of gas in total. However, as mentioned before, players only need six to complete the assignment.
