Mass Effect 2 Hints
Collector Base: The Long Walk
1 of 10: This is what the "Collector Base: Infiltration" mission is renamed to after you finish its second objective. (NOTE: This entire mission is all put under the "Escort Biotic Specialist" objective, so these hints won't have an objective list.)
2 of 10: Follow your biotic barrier guy closely, making sure you stay within his protective shield.
3 of 10: When he stops, take advantage of the opportunity to save your game, then talk to him to get him going again.
4 of 10: Follow him along until he stops again, then take cover and shoot down the collectors who attack before talking to your biotic guy again.
5 of 10: When you see a collector platform dock in the area ahead, be ready to start long-distance-shooting a bunch of husks and abominations as they leave the platform and come after you.
6 of 10: Some collectors will fly in and attack right after that combat is over, so turn your attention to them.
7 of 10: Be ready to quickly vault up onto a higher floor soon after you tell your biotic to get going again. (It helps to still have your weapon out when you talk to him.)
8 of 10: When he takes cover again, do the same and start blasting the husks that charge in from the area ahead. Also watch for a scion, but don't focus your fire on it until the danger of husks running up to you is gone.
9 of 10: Watch for a couple more husks to kill as you move forward, then quickly finish off the ones on the big downslope as your biotic guy staggers down it. He won't be able to take cover this time, so focus on protecting him.
10 of 10: After that, you'll get a series of cut-scenes in which you'll need to choose the two-person squad that you'll finish the game with. I recommend you take two powerful soldier-type guys, such as Grunt and Garrus. (Zaeed is also good if you have him.)
