Mass Effect 3 features a large number of Intel objects that you can find on your travels. These Intel items can be exchanged for various buffs, weapon improvements and other useful things. This Mass Effect 3 Intel Locations Guide will list all of the intel we’ve discovered and what you can do with it.
