If he has his Fortification power, he'll also activate it often, meaning he won't be able to use his Concussive Shot. Somewhat counter-intuitively, Grunt is not that effective, as his tendency to melee charge at enemies in close proximity can backfire as he'll often miss varren that are rushing by on their way to the quarian, and he's not shooting his gun while doing this. Squadmates with high level Pull are effective here. Slam is a particularly useful bonus power for this assignment as it is instant and can't miss, and if evolved into Crippling Slam can knock out a varren for quite some time. A heavy pistol with an anti-armor ammo power that does enough damage to one-shot the armor of the varren is useful on higher difficulties as this can be followed up with a fast recharging disable such as Slam or Throw.
In terms of weapon choice, you may wish to equip Shepard with a high-powered shotgun such as the M-300 Claymore or the Geth Plasma Shotgun as they can one-shot varren on most difficulties with the appropriate ammo power. Cryo Ammo, if available, can also be very handy, especially if squad-evolved and activated on weapons such as the M-96 Mattock that apply the freezing effect consistently, but keep in mind that freezing effects take a few seconds to totally disable enemies during which time they can still attack. Armor-Piercing Ammo, Incendiary Ammo, or Warp Ammo, should also be considered. Combat Drone is ineffective against varren as neither its attacks or the explosions of Explosive Drone seem to stun them, and varren are also quite single-minded (especially in this mission) and won't be distracted by drones.Īmmo powers effective against armor, i.e. Both powers stun unarmored varren, and they also have area-of-effect evolutions that are useful for a last-ditch defense around the quarian. Incinerate and Reave work well in this regard, Reave in particular as it lands instantly and won't curve around and miss fast-moving varren.
Factors you should weigh when choosing squadmates and powers include the ability to deal damage quickly to organic targets and, on higher difficulty levels, the ability to strip armor the ability to disable enemies often and for long durations is also useful. You will be facing only varren on this mission, but a lot of them, and in a situation where you must defend an extremely weak quarian.
