Mass Effect 2 Hints

Geth Combat Tips

  • 1 of 7: As soon as you go through the door, run down the ramp ahead and look on the right for an inactive rocket drone on a crate that you can activate.
  • 2 of 7: Do so, then turn around and run back up the ramp and turn left.
  • 3 of 7: Storm-run along the walkway until you reach another inactive rocket drone.
  • 4 of 7: Activate it, then take cover against the crates near it if you need to avoid fire for a few seconds for shield regeneration.
  • 5 of 7: As soon as you can, get up and storm-run back to the area's entry door.
  • 6 of 7: Open it and go through, then station your squad next to the doorway.
  • 7 of 7: Any geth that the rocket drones didn't get will probably follow you and get blasted by your squad. (Unless Legion AI-hacked them, in which case you should shoot them down before they can recover and start attacking you again.)
