Mass Effect 2 Hints

Praetorian Combat Tips

  • 1 of 4: You'll find yourself on the ground out of cover, so quickly run for some.
  • 2 of 4: The good old truck bed works very well at first, so you may want to run for it. However, the praetorian will eventually move over to where it can hit you there, so use your heavy weapon to take it down before it can get that far.
  • 3 of 4: Or instead of going for the truck bed, run around and use all the big crates around the tower for cover from the praetorian. Stay mobile so it can't catch up with you, and keep blasting it whenever you can.
  • 4 of 4: NOTE: The praetorian will occasionally slam itself down to the ground and sit there until it can re-erect its protective barrier. When this happens, take advantage of its brief immobility to really unload on it with your heavy weapon. That way, its new barrier will already be weakened when it gets airborne again.
