Mass Effect 2 Hints
Explore the colony.
1 of 8: Move along the path until you encounter some collectors in a crate-strewn area. Take cover behind a taller crate (or behind the wall to the right of the crate area) and shoot them down.
2 of 8: Look among the crates for power cells, then continue on past them (hacking a datapad on a table as you go) to reach a spot where you have to drop down. As soon as you do, run for cover from the husks and collectors in the area just ahead.
3 of 8: After you finish them off, look around on the ground for a dead collector that you can get a heavy skin weave upgrade from, then look for a nearby dead husk to examine. (There's also a datapad you can get credits from in a small building.)
4 of 8: Past that is a large open area with husk pods and your next collector combat. It's a tougher one, and includes a collector assassin, so stay back and shoot down as many as you can from the area's entrance, then go through the small building on the right while looking for more targets.
5 of 8: After the area is clear, look for supplies while moving on to the next collector attack area.
6 of 8: After getting the Collector Particle Beam, use the steps near it to enter a building. Go out its other side and move forward slowly to trigger the next collector combat.
