Mass Effect 3 Hints
Control Console.
1 of 9: Move down the walkway until you can turn left and see a Cerberus trooper or two off in the distance. Fire a few shots at them, then sprint back the way you came and use the low wall and/or large crate for cover.
2 of 9: Wait there for all of the enemies to come to you, noting that they include a turret-setting combat engineer. Take him out as soon as possible to keep him from setting more turrets.
3 of 9: When they stop coming, go down the walkway to the corner to find two ammo crates, then turn left and go down to where you can turn right to enter a wide open area. Look around it to see if there are any stragglers. (You'll know they've all been killed when the game will let you save again.)
4 of 9: Look in the back right corner of the wide open area for two more ammo crates and some junk you can salvage for credits, then go up the nearby ladder to get to the control room area.
5 of 9: Look around it for a med kit and a terminal that has some old grid schematics on it (useful for a hub mission), then go down one of the ramps on the other side of the room to find an area with more ammo crates and the Armax Arsenal Gauntlets.
6 of 9: Return to the control room use the "Control Console" terminal to get the next objective. When you return to this objective, you'll need to return to the control room.
7 of 9: A bunch of enemy troops will have moved in while you were gone. Go over to the start of the wide open area and shoot a few of them, then sprint back to where the shuttle dropped you off for cover.
8 of 9: When they stop coming, make your way over to the control room slowly, watching for more troopers along the way. There'll be several more holding position inside the control room, including a combat engineer.
9 of 9: After you finish them off, use the "Control Console" terminal again, then wait to get the mission-ending cut-scene.
