Mass Effect 2 Hints
Destroy Heavy Mechs.
1 of 7: Get out your heavy weapon and quicksave, then run forward to where three YMIR mechs are stomping around and destroying crates.
2 of 7: Find the nearby overturned vehicle and use it as cover while you open fire on the nearest YMIR mech.
3 of 7: It'll turn its attention to you as soon as you hit it, so use the vehicle as cover while finishing it off.
4 of 7: TIP: If anyone in your squad has the Overload power, use it as an opening move to help take down the mech's shields. That way, you won't have to use as much ammo on it.
5 of 7: After a mech's shields and armor are down, use the assault rifle and/or shotgun to finish it off, then start shooting the next mech to get it to turn its attention to you.
6 of 7: Keep killing mechs from under the cover of the overturned vehicle until all three are destroyed. The more crates you saved, the better, but it's much more important to finish off the mechs without getting killed or using too much heavy weapon ammo.
7 of 7: The game will prompt you to use the Leave World key (F on the PC) to end the assignment, but don't do it yet. First, search around the area to find a med kit, a crate of refined element zero, and a power cell box (it's on a small landing pad).
