Mass Effect 3 Hints

Trooper Combat Tips

  • 1 of 7: Start off by hitting the troopers you can see past the open door with Liara's Singularity power.
  • 2 of 7: Do some quick shooting, then take cover to the left of the doorway. Send your squad into the room ahead if they don't run in on their own, then use the Command HUD to get them to use their various powers on the troopers.
  • 3 of 7: Note that some troopers called "guardians" have shields that they hold in front of them for mobile cover. Use Singularity to separate them from their shields so you can easily shoot them.
  • 4 of 7: After the rooms ahead are all cleared, look for an XP-giving datapad on the second room's floor.
  • 5 of 7: Move to the last room, then turn left to find a doorway that leads to a long side hallway that's also full of enemy troopers.
  • 6 of 7: Take cover to the left of the doorway, then order your squad to catch up if necessary. Finish off all the troopers in the hallway's first section, then use its left-side area to move down to the doorway that leads to the second hallway section without coming under fire.
  • 7 of 7: Repeat the process to clear it, then move down it to where it's blocked by carts. Take cover against the carts and shoot some troopers in the third hallway section if necessary to convince them to retreat and lock a door behind them.
