Mass Effect Hints
Override the Security
1 of 12: You can't go much of anywhere in the Mako, but if you get in it and turn it around, you can cannon-blast some of the geth in the area to the south before going there on foot.
2 of 12: Once you're in the plaza, watch out for two geth armatures toward the south end. Take cover immediately, and be sure not to let them hit you with any of their pulse blasts.
3 of 12: Before moving on south from the plaza, look for a container just past where the armatures were, plus another one next to the X that's on the area map.
4 of 12: There are quite a few geth waiting for you in the courtyard area, so it's best to sneak up on them.
5 of 12: When you enter the courtyard, look to the left (SE) to see and shoot two geth shock troopers on a large raised ledge.
6 of 12: Go to the courtyard's south wall and press up against it while crouching. That way you'll have good cover while shooting the geth stalkers that are hopping around nearby.
7 of 12: Raid the locked crate that's along the courtyard's west side, then figure out how to get to the area south of the courtyard.
