Mass Effect 3 Hints
Bomb.
1 of 11: After your shuttle lands, sprint forward to where you can take cover next to a huge piece of rubble. Shoot at the Cerberus troopers from there, moving left and right to avoid grenades.
2 of 11: If you're a really good shot, or have a sniper rifle, you can shoot out the generators that power the little "shield walls" that the troopers often take cover behind.
3 of 11: After they're finally all dead, sprint and cover-climb your way to the back of the area, then look for ammo before going up a huge ramp that has an M-29 Incisor sniper rifle on its left side.
4 of 11: Look for a Shotgun Blade Attachment mod past the ramp, then quickly retreat to the top of the ramp for cover. Shoot down as many enemies as you can from the large wall hole, then go through it and take cover against the nearest piece of rubble.
5 of 11: Shoot down the rest of the enemies from there, then go to the back right corner of the area to find some ammo and the Rosenkov Materials Gauntlets. Note that there's a shield pylon back there that keeps zapping you with shield-restoring energy. You can either shoot it out or ignore it.
6 of 11: Past the pylon, look for a console you can use to get credits. Past a couple of cover-climbs, pick up an SMG Heat Sink mod, then quickly move back a bit for cover against a nearby wall. Several troopers will advance on you from the next area.
7 of 11: Shoot them down, then move through their area to find a med kit and a Pistol Scope mod. Go down the slanted rubble and toward the spot where two troopers evacuate in a shuttle to find a credits-giving datapad and an ammo crate.
8 of 11: Stay near the shield pylon and shoot down the troopers in the next area, then move past them and go up a large ramp to get a good view of the bomb. Climb the ladder that's over on the right, then grab the Sniper Rifle Concentration Module mod. Move on to find a Pistol Melee Stunner mod near some abandoned equipment.
9 of 11: Go down a large rubble ramp, then turn left and wait for some troopers to run out of sight after setting up a turret.
10 of 11: Look near the turret for a med kit, an ammo crate, and some turret control schematics that'll get you the "Citadel: Cerberus Automated Turret Schematics" hub mission, then move on past it to find the top of a ladder.
11 of 11: Quicksave, then go down the ladder to get the next objective.
