Big Combat Tips

  • 1 of 7: Take cover to the left of the door while shooting down the few targets in the room beyond.
  • 2 of 7: When the room is clear, go through its door and down some stairs to come to another doorway.
  • 3 of 7: Run through that doorway and down the stairs that are on the left, then take cover to the right near a "WARNING: LOW POWER" sign.
  • 4 of 7: There are several rocket-firing troops on high-up ledges in the area ahead, plus several more troops down on the floor that may charge you.
  • 5 of 7: Get your squad into cover with you, then peek out and snipe at rocket-firing troops to take them down.
  • 6 of 7: Watch for some of the ground-floor troops approaching your position, including a couple of krogans and a flame-throwing vorcha.
  • 7 of 7: After you get all of them you can from your sign-cover area, move toward the door labeled "Ventilation Control" slowly to find a few last vorcha near it.
