Mass Effect 2 Hints
Project Firewalker: Find Cerberus Probes.
1 of 5: You'll arrive in the Hammerhead in a very cold region. You'll have to move fast (use the Boost key frequently to help with this) to keep the Hammerhead's engines from freezing, which causes a critical mission failure.
2 of 5: Move quickly along the path to find the first data node. These work just like the ones in the first Project Firewalker mission, except that the tall pillars of light around them are red instead of blue. Also, mining a data node will help warm up the Hammerhead's engines to keep you going longer.
3 of 5: The path is linear, and you probably won't ever have to do any jumping to get to the next data node (though jumping can sometimes be helpful).
4 of 5: Whenever you come to a spot where you have to drop down a ways, aim yourself at the next visible data node as you fall so you can get there faster.
5 of 5: After you mine all ten data nodes, you'll automatically return to the Normandy in a cut-scene.
