Armature Bay Combat Tips
1 of 7: You could sprint back to the elevator for cover after getting the geths' attention.
2 of 7: The elevator will be closed, but you can crouch down next to its doors for pretty good cover while using a sniper rifle to fire on the geth.
3 of 7: Or you could run up to the top of the elevated walkway that's near the south end of the bay. You'll be right next to it when the geth see you, anyway.
4 of 7: If you crouch down and press yourself against the walkway's northern railing, you've got pretty good cover from which to shoot down at the geth.
5 of 7: You can take damage from explosions while next to that railing. If that happens, stay crouched and move a ways back from the railing until your health and shields fully recover.
6 of 7: There are also some armature repair stations scattered about the bay that you might want to dash for if your squad's best Decryption talent is way high, since they can make armatures fight on your side.
7 of 7: TIP: Even if you'd rather fight all of the geth yourself, you should still decrypt all four armature repair stations for bonus XP (if you can) after the battle is over.
