Trooper Combat Tips
1 of 8: There are several of them, including a couple of powerful destroyer-class troopers, so keep your distance and use cover to good advantage while fighting them.
2 of 8: After taking down the troopers on the nearby walkway, go over to the top of the stairs that lead down and press against the railing (and crouch) to get your character to take cover there.
3 of 8: You should then be able to easily go into zoom mode and shoot the troopers and destroyers that are on the nearest part of the lower walkway without taking much damage.
4 of 8: Also, look for explosive containers down there that you can shoot to help damage enemies.
5 of 8: Another thing you can do while in that position is use the Tactical HUD to get Kaidan to use his Throw biotic ability on any nearby targets.
6 of 8: After the first batch of geth is down, and you've let health and shields recharge, go to the start of the lower walkway to get the attention of some more.
7 of 8: As soon as you do, sprint-run your way back up to where you were, and take cover there again. Some of the geth should come into your range for more easy shooting.
8 of 8: After that, crouch-run your way down the long lower walkway, using cover frequently to make it to where you can shoot down the last few geth.
