Mass Effect 2 Hints
Important Hammerhead Notes
1 of 5: On the PC, the Hammerhead controls may be different than what the on-screen prompts tell you. Check the key bindings section on the Options menu for the real vehicle control keys.
2 of 5: Get familiar with the keys for moving and jumping right away, since they'll be necessary for getting around in this multi-level platform-like place.
3 of 5: When you're trying to jump onto a higher ledge, you'll need to move a bit back from it, then lean on first the Jump key and then the Move Forward key. If you don't do it right, you'll bounce around against the ledge and fall back down to where you started.
4 of 5: There's exposed lava in many spots, and landing in it will blow up the Hammerhead after a couple of seconds. This is especially bad since you can't save your game at all after you enter the Hammerhead and before you complete the assignment.
5 of 5: If you ever do land in lava, quickly lean on the Jump key and one or more of the direction keys to get out of it before you explode.
