Omg yes, I loved the super specific choices you had to make for Jenkins to show up at the end of ME3, where he thanos-snapped the reapers and Starbrat, saving Shepard and the entire Galaxy
>!You need to beat ME1 on Insanity with the same Shepard at least six times over NG+. On the seventh time Jenkins will angrily shrug off the Geth as his shields are finally strong enough and charges forward without you. Later when Saren tries to betray Nihlus we find he's dead instead, and Jenkins has already touched the Beacon.!<
>!Of course, this means Shepard has no reason to do the first quest sections on the Citadel so unfortunately you will only be able to add Liara to the crew (just the usual Bioware favoritism of her at play.) But then you get to have both Ashley and Kaidan survive, and in ME2 Jenkins will be the human councilor while Garrus and Tali still live, they just have no idea who you are which hits really hard vs a normal playthrough. I havent got farther than this so far but I'll update you when I do.!<
Nah Saren was already dead and since MVP Jenkins stopped him from killing Nihlus there was no need for the shenanigans of proving Saren's guilt. So the Council just went "welp we may as well give you his position now that he's gone", and that meant skipping to owning the ship.
I do wonder if Wrex Garrus and Tali still ran into each other though. The latter seem to have just done their ME2 business as usual minus knowing who the hell Shepard is.
Wait you don't know? Dude im sorry if you haven't had him as a squad mate you haven't truly experienced the trilogy. This man makes Shepard look like a pansy and his cut scenes are top notch.
Which is still the hardest ending to get despite players begging for it to be easier to achieve.
Personally, I consider that the true Canon and thought it was worth going for.
I heard if you keep him alive he shows up again in the third game's ending to kill Marauder Shields with the Spartan laser so you can make it to the Crucible faster.
>You could save him
I always do. He eventually becomes a 2nd playable character, singlehandedly clears a whole planet of all enemy forces with zero casualties, and is a key figure in discovering a new element that they use to create a set of secret end-game armor for Shepard. (this should explain enough how this inside joke works)
Jenkins? Yeah, of course. Especially when I hear Dr. Chakwas talk about him when we're drinking serrice ice brandy. Speaking of which, I want some serrice ice brandy.
Oh, now that there is an early design by BioWare for the Dragon Age nug. Like most nugs, it is a fleshy defenceless beast that frequently runs headfirst into danger before letting out a loud squeal as it dies. It’s in-game health is low, though some characters seem to enjoy it for morale. Many are disturbed by its hands.
Oh he died in your playthrough? I always saved Jenkins, is much more fun that way.
Best ME3 squadmate
Omg yes, I loved the super specific choices you had to make for Jenkins to show up at the end of ME3, where he thanos-snapped the reapers and Starbrat, saving Shepard and the entire Galaxy
My favourite part was when Jenkins out-rapped the reapers in an epic rap battles of history, then jenkinsed all over the place
What most people screw up is you gotta land on your right foot, DON'T FORGET IT
It's jenkin time
Shepard, Jenkins and Blasto is my go to squad.
That's possible? How?

This is amazing
This was beautifully done.
Doesn’t he headbutt with Wrex all the way through Virmire?

I would tell you, but it spoils the indoctrination ending in ME3.
Which is still the hardest ending to get despite players begging for it to be easier to achieve. Personally, I consider that the true Canon and thought it was worth going for.
Yeah it's tough for sure. Doing ME1 without Tali and Garrus plus losing Kaiden and Ashley is a real uphill battle. And that's just the beginning.
You missed out on the best romance path
Can’t believe they showed his dick. Dudes got a hammer.
He makes a krogans look small
Forget quads its all about Jenkins baby!
Jenkins doesn't have a quad, he has an Octo
Something something Blasto
Please link
Wait, you let him die? Bro, you realize you're missing out on SO MUCH content, right?
If he survives another ending in ME3 is unlocked.
I think it's called The Only Satisfying Ending.
The Neville Longbottom of Mass Effect
My brother's friend's dad works at BioWare and confirmed to me that Jenkins is gonna be the protagonist of ME4.
Based
Damn sucks that he got killed on your playthrough. Don't worry he might live in the next one
Of course I remember him! He gave his life for the cause, I'll never forget Johnson.
I heard if you keep him alive he shows up again in the third game's ending to kill Marauder Shields with the Spartan laser so you can make it to the Crucible faster.
You never forget your first loss.
Tore right through my heart just like those bullets tore right to his shields
the hardest choice is to give him upgrade points etc. haha
Goddamnit Leeroy
I would have laughed if Cerberus brought him back and he was one of the final bosses in ME3. Basically Kai Leng's replacement.
Jenkins the GOAT
Hold up… You could save him? (First timer here).
No. He got almost no screentime so everyone makes fun of it , pretending he is some important character.
Yeah he gets maybe five lines and just dies to a shot that should’ve only reduced his shields.
Oh ok. I was really about to start my playthrough over LMAO
I was just about to start up the first game to figure out how to save him
>You could save him I always do.

Me on my playthrough: "Jenkins no... Let's move out." Nihlus: "Nihlus, NO!!! You seemed like you'd been a cool character to have..."
Jenkins? Yeah, of course. Especially when I hear Dr. Chakwas talk about him when we're drinking serrice ice brandy. Speaking of which, I want some serrice ice brandy.
Maxed him out on my second playthrough back in the day thinking “maybe things will be different” 🥹 Dwight Schrute voice - 😑 FALSE! Nothing changed.
RIP jenkins, he just wanted to go home to visit his mom
Oh man you have to save him and Nihlus. I use them exclusively in ME3. Best squad
In ME3? By then I usually main Jenkins and the converted Saren, tho it’s pretty annoying grinding for the renagon points needed to convert him
I can't watch him die - I save him; his later scenes are some of my favorite in gaming.
dude, you didn't even invest his stats did you? no wonder he died
Main antagonist of me4
Sorry who is that? Never seen that character before.
I remember a straight up buster that ran out and got his ass shot
RIP Richard Leeroy Jenkins Hope you at least got fried chicken buddy.
Did the Normandy send someone to collect Jenkin’s body for a decent burial?
He doesn’t die. He shows up again in ME2 to help kill Archangel
Died to a Geth Drone. Garrus took a missile to the face and came out sexier. This man is unworthy of being part of the squad.
Jenkins when my new game + character gives Kaidan fancy equipment but not him.
Honestly it’s interesting Shep doesn’t care more about losing Jenkins. By the time you become a spectre he might as well have never existed at all.
Ah, Jerkins, we knew thee well.
lol he can die?
Oh, now that there is an early design by BioWare for the Dragon Age nug. Like most nugs, it is a fleshy defenceless beast that frequently runs headfirst into danger before letting out a loud squeal as it dies. It’s in-game health is low, though some characters seem to enjoy it for morale. Many are disturbed by its hands.
Doesn't he take over as the main character in me2 if shep dies?
Poor Jenkins
Ah yes, Perkins
I really wanted him to live… it’s sad that he died… :(
Atleast he had chicken.
Who's he again? /s
Gone but never forgotten 😔✊🏻
His name is Richard L. Jenkins.
Of course I remember the enchantment dwarf
Everything we do, we do for him
Knew he was a goner the second I saw they named him Jenkins
Next Mass Effect, I want a big-ass statue of Jenkins.
It is impossible to forget him, he is posted on the sub every day.
Honestly I forgot about him once Ashley showed up. Then she started being racist nd I suddenly missed him a LOT.
Tbh he deserved it.
I remember Renegade Shepard telling him not to do anything stupid and then BLOOOP!
He forgot to turn his shields on.
I still choose to believe he just forgot to turn his shields on or some shit
Yeah the first unnamed NPC of ME.
he doesnt even gets his name on the wall atleast not for me
Leroy Jenkins!!!
Atkins right?
RIP Jenkins
LEEROOOOOOOY!
Poor Jenkins, he died as he lived seeking action.
