Batarian and Varren Combat Tips
1 of 6: After the brief cinematic, two varren will charge you.
2 of 6: Quickly retreat into the entry room while shooting them. (Remember that their bites bypass your shields and go straight to your health line.)
3 of 6: After they're down, stay back from the doorway and wait for two more varren to come after you.
4 of 6: When they're all dead, go over to the doorway and shoot at the batarian troopers and sniper through it, ducking for cover whenever you see the red sniper beam aimed your way.
5 of 6: After you kill all of the batarians who make themselves easy targets, get out your pistol or sniper rifle and see if you can snipe any of the ones who are under cover (including their sniper).
6 of 6: Then switch back to your best up-close weapon and charge in to finish off the stragglers (after sending your squad in to take the heat for you).
