Mass Effect 2 Hints
Disable False Distress Signal.
1 of 10: As soon as you regain control, take cover against the landing pad railing and watch for Blue Suns mercs to come out through their base's front door.
2 of 10: After they stop coming, go over to the base entrance and look near it for refined iridium before using the door to go inside.
3 of 10: Move forward and take cover next to the transparent glass railing. Several powerful Blue Suns mercs (including a commander) will appear on the floor below and start shooting up at you. Try to take them down before any of them go up the side ramps.
4 of 10: Go down the ramps and through the door marked "LIVING QUARTERS" to find a wall safe to bypass for credits, then go across to the "MESS HALL" doorway.
5 of 10: Move past it slowly, then retreat back to it when Blue Suns troops enter the mess hall from the mine tunnel. After they're all down, enter the tunnel.
6 of 10: Look to the left for some refined iridium, then move into a large cave and search it for two more boxes of refined iridium and some power cells. Go through the cave's door and into the next room far enough to get a cut-scene where two YMIR mechs are activated to fight you.
7 of 10: After the second YMIR blows up, run back to the room's locked entry door for cover from the Blue Suns mercs who attack you next.
8 of 10: Find a med kit on a platform on the left side of the room (blast or melee-bash a crate that's in the way), then go to the back of the room to find three small side rooms, one of which has a locked door.
9 of 10: Check the other two side rooms for a computer with messages and a wall safe you can bypass for credits, then bypass the locked door.
10 of 10: Just past it is the distress beacon control. Overload it to finish the assignment.
