That way, you can still Storm a short distance in case of an emergency. NOTE Using these basic commands creatively can evolve into more complicated tactics in open areas. Shepard can send the squad anywhere in LOS line of sight , even hundreds of meters away out in the open, planetary surfaces, which gives the snipers in the squad a dramatic advantage over your enemies.
As CO in this instance, Shepard can take point and selectively engage enemy forces to drawn them into the chokepoint where the squad can engage at will and decimate the enemy ranks with weapons and talents. Have the squad rally back to Shepard as soon as enemy forces are engaged, drawing in a few at a time.
Highly skilled snipers especially Infiltrators should be able to make shot after shot as the enemy units line up like varren in a barrel. Flank and Crossfire: Creating a crossfire situation is often the easiest way to distract and destroy enemy ranks with minimum effort. The point team is ordered into a flanking side position off to the left or right of enemy forces, close enough to draw their fire and engage the forces, all while Shepard attacks from the front, or, ideally, the opposite side.
This can cause you to waste a lot of your weapon-specific abilities including Overkill or Marksman. Opponents roughly the same size like geth troopers, husks, and creepers are knocked down by melee attacks. However, anything bigger than Shepard, such as krogan, geth destroyers, etc.
Knock down your enemies and the squad will keep shooting. Remember, you squad members always come back after being killed. However, Shepard is completely indispensable. Remember, retreat is always an option. Re-evaluate your tactics and decide on a different course of action to deal with your opposition. Note that just like using talents and abilities, there is a timed recharge period for healing using Medi-Gels. The weapon selection wheel is split into three segments: one each for Shepard and the two squad members.
By highlighting any of their weapons with g, the HUD display changes to indicate whether the individual is trained with that weapon. Select the desired weapon and hit 1 to give the order to switch. In doing so, you effectively take them out of the battle while they try to figure out what end shoots and what end is the stock. You can still aim at targets while the game is paused, which is a sneaky way to take a break, or target fast-moving enemies at your leisure.
TIP Check your weapons after every major encounter. Your squad members occasionally switch their weapons without your permission. You can now tap P quickly to alternate between weapons without having to go back to the wheel.
This can be handy for switching from the sniper rifle to the shotgun when enemies get close. TIP When sniping, send your squad to stand a bit farther away so enemies can be kept busy fighting them and do not come in close to you while you are sniping. This is an excellent way to strategically eliminate opposition—a sound tactic especially in the case of countersniping enemy marksmen such as geth snipers or rocket troopers. Fastest Career Formula For a quick and exhilarating combat-oriented career, use the following formula: 1.
Choose any non-Soldier specialization for Shepard an Engineer with Decryption and Electronics is a solid choice. Maintain a primary mission squad with Ashley and Wrex. This maximizes their attack damage, damage resistance, health, endurance, and healing capabilities, and makes them into formidable tanks in battle.
Always send them into battle first to engage enemies at short range. Use Carnage ability often to obliterate enemy forces, while you hang back and mop up from a safe distance. Win, Win, Win. The pause is also in effect, which is useful for organizing your thoughts so you may give clear orders during battle. Status states immediately indicate whether the power is used, selected, currently recharging.
Many talents require that Shepard have LOS line of sight to the target regardless of whether the power is being executed by the CO or by a supporting squad member. Many other talents affect only the person using them, such as Immunity, Barrier, or Marksman. We will teach you all you need to know in the upcoming section on talents and abilities. Now switch the Talent Wheel back to normal gameplay. This is especially useful for emergency healing or damage resistance powers that are needed quickly in heated conflicts.
Decryption allows the squad to break into objects held fast by security systems, and brings up the special Decryptions task interface. A high Electronics Talent gives the squad the ability to override electronic systems by using Omni-Gel. Always bring along the squad members with these talents on away missions so nothing of importance is left behind uncollected.
Talents are the more general skill areas in which a character excels, while abilities are the special tactics granted by becoming increasingly more skilled in any given talent. For example, training a Soldier with the Assault Rifle Talent eventually grants the three levels of the Overkill ability that get increasingly more lethal: Overkill, Advanced Overkill, and finally, Master Overkill.
By spending more points in a talent, a character can eventually become proficient in several master-level abilities that dramatically increase their prowess in battle or grant valuable squad support abilities. Make each squad member a specialist in his or her own unique ways to minimize overlap across the entire squad. TIP The following talent matrix includes all the classes, talents, characters, and abilities in the game.
Use it to cross reference who has what, and even for character planning at the beginning of each new career.
Check out the Specialization Talent section for some suggestions. For balanced parties, spend Talent Points on these hybrid characters so as to not create too much overlap in their skills.
For example, Garrus can be a powerful Engineer and Wrex a capable biotic while both are still strong in combat. Decreases the cost of items in stores. Charm options are grayed out if you do not have a high enough skill rank. New skill ranks open up when you become a Spectre and as you earn Paragon points.
Increases credits gained when selling items in stores. New skill ranks will unlock when you become a Spectre and as you earn Renegade points.
Motivated Buyer Your intimidating presence bullies merchants passive bonus into buying your gear for more credits. Increases health, accuracy, and effectiveness of all attacks and powers. Use Unity and First-Aid in quick succession to bring the entire squad back up to full strength while in combat. Attacks that penetrate shields also penetrate this barrier. Each point spent increases the strength and duration of the barrier. Improves the recharge time and accuracy cost. This is one talent that becomes more important as your difficulty level increases.
Any object or creature struck is lifted into the air. Enemies are temporarily immobilized until they fall back to the ground. Each point spent increases the duration of the lift. Drops them when it expires. Each point spent increases the strength of the throw, knocking targets farther and inflicting greater damage. Advanced Throw Increases force and radius while decreasing recharge time and accuracy cost.
Master Throw Increases force and radius while decreasing recharge time and accuracy cost. Nearby enemies and objects are drawn into the singularity, unable to escape its gravitational pull. Each point spent in this ability increases the radius of the singularity. Does not work on flying enemies. Having access to Singularity is a strong motivator for career class selection or squad selection. Master Singularity is the best way to immobilize an entire group of enemies; it pulls everyone within a certain radius up into the air and suspends them for a period of time while the squad attacks them at their convenience.
Each point spent increases the duration of Stasis. Squad members will not use Stasis unless selected from the Power Wheel. It weakens armor and inflicts damage over time on enemies. Each point spent increases the duration of the warp. Advanced Adrenaline Burst Reduces recharge time. All of your abilities are instantly recharged, even the critical Shield Boost and Immunity abilities. Shotguns may seem like the flashiest weapons in the game, but your squad mates are just as effective with long-range weapons.
TIP Never underestimate the value of stability with a sniper rifle; each point spent on this talent increases not only your damage and accuracy, but also how fast you restabilize after taking a shot.
With Armor and Fitness maxed, you should be able to take a direct hit from a rocket on all but the hardest difficulty setting. Damping is delivered as a proximity mine that explodes when enemies are nearby for bonus damage.
Stuns enemies up to Elite level. Stuns enemies up to Sub-Boss level. Sub-Bosses 10 60 40 60 — Decryption Talent Description: Allows you to open secure containers, increases tech mine explosion damage and grants the Sabotage ability.
Overheats enemy weapons so they can not fire, and burns them for damage over time. Sabotage is delievered from a proximity mine that explodes when enemies are nearby for bonus damage. Advanced Sabotage 5 Medium 8 20 50 60 3 6 7 8 9 — 20 22 24 Master Sabotage Further increases Decryption skill level; increases Sabotage proficiency including radius, duration, and overheat damage, while reducing recharge time; proximity mine damage increased.
Hard 10 25 40 60 4 10 11 12 — 26 28 30 Having sufficient skill in Decryption is the only way to override security systems on many different objects, including computer terminals and locked loot containers. Damages the shields of enemies near the target, and reduces the effectiveness of their armor plating. Overload is delivered as a proximity mine that explodes when enemies are nearby for bonus damage.
Further increases the effectiveness of all electronics parameters. The Overload power causes significant damage to enemies through their shields. Garrus and Tali both excel at Electronics, so one of them should focus on specializing in it. TIP Having sufficient Electronics skill is the only way to overload electronic devices during minitasks.
NOTE Overload works great against synthetic enemies, but it also deals massive damage to the Barrier ability of biotic enemies such as asari commandos, making them much easier to kill. Minions 20 60 80 — 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 6 9 12 15 18 Advanced Hacking Increases duration of hack while decreasing recharge time. Master Hacking Elites Further increases duration of hack while decreasing recharge time. For maximum effect, target the toughest enemy amid a group and enjoy the chaos within the enemy ranks that follows.
Master First Aid Maximum increases to squad health upon use. Master Neural Shock Knocks out an organic enemy and inflicts toxic damage. Increases biotic resistances and reduces recharge rates for all biotic abilities.
Reduces the recharge time on all tech abilities and increases resistance to tech attacks. Investing additional points in this class talent increases health and allows for limited health regeneration. Increases damage done by tech mines and reduces overheating on sniper rifles and pistols, their preferred weapons. TIP Sentinel Talent Description: Special training allows sentinels to use tech and biotics more efficiently than other classes.
Reduces the recharge time of tech and biotic abilities. Increases damage and accuracy with a pistol and also grants the Marksman ability. This talent increases biotic resistances and damage with shotguns and pistols. Note that your base class talent ranks only go to level 6. After you complete the advanced specialization training, the talent ranks then rise to level 12 and the new specialization bonuses are available once Talent Points are allocated appropriately.
Each class has two advanced levels of specialization available, as illustrated in the following diagram. Nemesis Enigneer Agents are highly encouraged to pursue advanced military specialization training on the Luna Colony to heighten their talents and abilities in ways not possible through other means. Specialization is the only way to achieve the ultimate training your class allows. Overall, ranking up reduces the recharge times for all biotic abilities and specifically improves Barrier and Stasis Talents.
NOTE Commando Description: Commandos rely on lethal efficiency and precision strikes rather than brute force to eliminate their opponents. Overall, their specialization increases damage inflicted with all weapons and specifically improves their most lethal talents including: Immunity, Marksman, and Assassination. Overall, medic specialization improves the recharge times on all medical abilities and specifically the First Aid and Neural Shock abilities.
Squad Healing Bonus Healing revives dead members? No 80 Yes 40 34 Protected by copyright. Overall, a nemesis specialist has access to significantly increased duration and damage to all biotic abilities and specifically improves both Warp and Lift Talents. Overall, operatives have access to significantly reduced recharge times for all tech attacks and specific improvements to both Overload and Sabotage Talents.
Overall, their increased health and damage protection can turn them from strong soldiers into formidable tanks with specific improvements to Immunity or Barrier , and Adrenaline Burst abilities.
This talent reduces recharge time of biotics, and improves both the amount of health restored and the recharge time on squad healing.
This skill increases tech resistance and shields. Krogan Battlemaster Talent Description: Wrex is one of the last true krogan battlemasters, as they are a dying breed—something for which the rest of the galaxy is grateful. This skill improves health regeneration, increases physics resistance, and increases melee damage. TIP Combat Hazards In any combat situation it pays to take note of a few dangerous objects in your immediate surroundings. Objects like those shown in this sidebar possess certain volatile characteristics that opportunistic agents can and should use against their adversaries to cause all sorts of unpleasant effects ranging from mild shocks to death.
Always quickly and immediately assess the nearby combat hazards during any combat situation and work them into your battle plan. Fuel tanks make excellent ambush points. Lure enemies toward them as you move away, then cause the tanks to explode with a few well-aimed shots.
Experiment with combat hazards in your surroundings to see if your adversaries are foolish enough to stand too close to a plasma containment cell: Toss a grenade into their midst.
This skill increases accuracy with all weapons and increases damage with both assault rifles and sniper rifles. Assault Rifles Assault rifles are the standard armament of most soldiers, offering a good balance between firepower, range, and accuracy. However, they have a limited rate of fire and are virtually useless at close range.
TIP Pistols Pistols have low recoil and high accuracy, and are easy to use while moving. They are only effective at close range and inflict limited damage. TIP Shotguns Shotguns have a slow rate of fire and high recoil, but they can inflict massive damage to multiple targets at close range. COM Some ammo upgrades are more suitable for one weapon type than for another—try different combinations and see what works best for you.
TIP Sniper rifles generate significant amounts of heat from a single shot, so you should make the most of each shot fired by maximizing damage through weapon and ammo upgrades. When equipped with upgrades, their destructive potential is increased exponentially and adds special effects, such as snapfreezing targets in the case of Cryo upgrades.
After throwing a grenade by pressing 0, the grenade icon in the HUD flashes for a short time; during the flashing period you can manually detonate the grenade with another press of 0, or wait until the grenade timer detonates it automatically seconds later. Soldiers need extra training to wear it. Even in light of that, however, the benefits often outweigh the costs. All armor is not created equal. In hazardous environments, special upgrade seals protect the squad from otherwise deadly effects, but only one squad member needs to wear the protective suit for the entire squad to benefit.
Medical armor upgrades allow squad members to regenerate health if low on Medi-Gel. Armor is quite versatile considering the range of upgrades offered and various parameters affected. Heavy armor provides better shielding and damage protection with an often unnoticeable movement rate penalty. Having this benefit early while the squad is weaker can help ensure your survival. Heavy armor offers maximum protection against enemy fire but has the highest movement penalties affecting weapon accuracy.
Only specially trained frontline soldiers can wear it. Installation Mods are all installed the same way from the Equipment menu. While viewing currently installed item, press 3 to enter the upgrade screen. Each gear type has a specific number of upgrade slots depending on its sophistication level. Available upgrade slots are shown at the bottom right sector of the screen, while the main display window lists the descriptions of any currently installed upgrades.
Use g to select an upgrade slot. Note that each slot is specific to a certain group of mods. For example, if viewing a weapon, you may have one or two open slots for weapon upgrades and always one for ammo. A weapon can only have one type of ammo at a time, while several different weapon upgrade mods can be installed to dramatically increase its performance above and beyond stock levels.
As with all equipment, mods come in a variety of sophistication levels. Pay close attention to upgrade sophistication level when choosing upgrades for installation. Microprocessors wired into a combat suit can monitor vital functions and release small, localized doses of Medi-Gel to accelerate the healing process. A complex filament network of element zero microcores combined with advanced firewall technology provides protection against both biotic and tech attacks. Mechanical augmentation increases the brute strength of the wearer, allowing them to deliver powerful blows when rifle butting or pistol whipping opponents.
To generate kinetic barriers, combat suits rely on capacitors to store energy from a generator. The greater the capacitor storage, the more potent the barrier. Installing micro-gravimetric emitters into a combat suit artificially increases mass, providing protection against concussive force delivered by explosions, high impact ammo and biotic attacks such as Lift or Throw. Armor equipped with stim packs releases targeted shots of adrenaline to speed up recovery and recharge times.
Toxic Seals Specially sealed body armor provides increased protection against radiation, gasses, and a host of other toxins.
Ablative Coating Ablative coating is designed to chip away when impacted, redirecting the energy of incoming projectiles away from the body.
Advanced models also optimize recharge times of kinetic eration rate barriers. The increased mass of the mechanized suit also provides Exoskeleton melee damage protection against high-physics weapons and biotic attacks such as Lift or Throw. This interface also provides resistance to toxic second attacks.
To generate kinetic barriers, combat suits rely on capacitors to store Shield Modulator energy from a generator. A prototype upgrade designed specifically for heavy combat use, it 15 damage Energized Plating provides maximum protection for the user. TIP 40 Protected by copyright. Incendiary Rounds Incendiary rounds consist of a thermite paste which clings to, and burns through, nearly any known substance.
Sledgehammer Rounds hit with incredible force, often knocking opponents completely off their feet. The tradeoff is they increase weapon overheating. Polonium Rounds Snowblind Rounds Snowblind rounds inflict massive damage and destabilize enemies, reducing their accuracy. More advanced upgrades do more damage. The combat scanner upgrade improves detection levels, making these enemies visible.
Absorbs and dissipates the heat typically generated when firing a weapon. Fires larger rounds for more damage. However, the rate of fire is slowed and the weapon will overheat more quickly. Specially calibrated sights can increase weapon accuracy. Reduces kickback to improve accuracy. Some enemies use jamming technology to block your weapon radar. Kinetic Advanced VI functionality reduces weapon kickback Stabilizer to improve accuracy. Modifies the length of the barrel to increase Rail damage. However, this also increases weapon Extension overheating.
An Advanced VI package maximizes effectiveness of Combat combat radar while reducing kickback for improved Optics weapon stability. Frictionless Frictionless materials give rounds more power at Materials impact while minimizing weapon overheating.
Kinetic Coils improve stability by improving kickback Kinetic Coil and increase projectile acceleration for extra damage. This prototype upgrade greatly increases damage, Scram Rail but it also causes your weapon to overheat faster.
It is not worth it. But be sure to kill stealth enemies first geth hoppers and snipers , or you may get flanked. The greatest benefit is to pistols and assault rifles with semi-automatic and automatic firing. TIP Some mods are situation specific or are especially damaging to certain enemies. When detonated, they are capable of snap-freezing nearby targets. Targets caught in the blast experience varying degrees of radiation poisoning.
Incendiary Explosive release a thermal paste on detonation that clings to—and burns through—virtually all known substances.
These upgrades are specifically designed to disable subjects infected by the Thorian without killing them. NOTE 42 — and secondary bonus effect of Protected by copyright. As you get close to the item limit, a HUD warning lets you know that soon, gear salvaging will be required: This is a good time to evaluate your vast inventory and cherry pick all the best stuff.
The dregs should be sold or liquidated into Omni-Gel promptly to avoid running out of inventory space and potentially having to liquidate priceless upgrades. Pause during long battles and look at the equipment screen.
It shows you all the gear the squad has collected recently. From stock-level peacekeeping gear to prototype items with unprecedented lethality, the entire gamut exists. A relatively small number of interstellar corporations compete aggressively for market share. Other, smaller companies remain true to their niche market only. In the following section, please feel free to browse all the current, up-to-date information on all incorporated galactic manufacturers and the gear they provide to countless systems.
Providing basic, reliable equipment at an affordable cost has made them a primary supplier of armor, Omni-tools and bio-amps to the Systems Alliance Military. It has expanded into an interstellar conglomerate after opening itself up to foreign investment. Their affordable, yet reliable body armor, weapons and Omni-tools are popular with security personnel and mercenaries. Functional, yet affordable armor, weapons, and Omni-tools are all available from the Elkoss Combine.
Specializes in: Armor, Omni-tools, Weapons 44 Protected by copyright. Their weapons are considered stock quality at best, though their armor lines are generally recognized as above average.
They do, however, offer basic protective or utilitarian items ranging from armor to Omni-tools to biotic amps. Recently they have branched out to develop a line of high-grade armor with an enhanced ablative weave to provide extra protection. Armali makes high-grade Omni-tools, and their bio-amps are widely recognized as the finest money can buy, though these are only available to a select list of clients. Specializes in: Bio-Amps, Omni-tools 46 Protected by copyright.
They also market a complete line of military-grade weapons. Rather than trying to compete with high-end manufacturers, Haliat specializes in a line of basic-level weapons. They also make a basic-grade Omni-tool that is available to the general public.
Geth Armory equipment is not compatible with existing mods and neither the Pulse Rifle nor the armors have any Upgrade Slots. When it comes to personal protection suits, no expense is spared—as is reflected in the exorbitant cost of their products. Recently, Kassa has also begun to manufacture Omni-tools, though it will be some time until the quality is brought up to the high standards of their armor lines.
Not just concerned with profit, they typically make customers undergo a rigorous screening process before being approved to purchase their product.
Serrice Council amps are incredibly rare—and highly prized—items on the galactic market. Here are summaries of those documented from numerous conflicts with the Alliance.
Other entries are based purely on speculation from field operatives. Please note: conflict-specific enemy data is reserved for the walkthrough sections of this guide. NOTE For Alliance training purposes, resistance units are classified in standardized ways to assist in your assimilation of their documented characteristics. Enemy Ranks from easiest to most challenging when faced in combat: Minion Boss Elite Elite Boss Sub-Boss Support: Enemy support units that are able to improve combat performance or survivability for others within their numbers.
Eliminating these units removes significant combat support for the opposition. Examples include geth repair drones and juggernauts. Siege: Rush assault units that are able to quickly bypass allied cover or shields and deal damage directly to the individual.
Their presence often forces allied units to abandon cover and seek a better position, effectively flushing them out for other enemy units to engage them in the open. Examples include geth armature, asari commando, and biotic fanatics. The summaries contained herein list observed tactics, but enemy units may not consistently utilize all tactics in all situations.
Resistances: Biotics and Tech Flanker: Possesses the ability to move quickly around the environment to advantageous positions; includes geth recon drones and sappers. Tank: These are elite or higher units with high survivability. They distract allies or remove useful cycles from squad members who engage them. Examples include krogan warlords or krogan battlemasters. Units include geth hopper variants and asari commandos.
Killer: This unit type is designed to punish opponents with massive amounts of damage. Left unchecked in combat, they represent a very real threat to small squads through continued use of their highly varied special abilities. Examples include geth shock troopers, armatures, and destroyers. Weaknesses: None Powers: Warp, Barrier, Throw, Lift, Marksman Notes: A rogue company of commandos under the command of Matriarch Benezia has broken away and is now actively working with the geth and Sovereign Asari commandos and krogan battlemasters are tough when they get their barriers up.
These are the two small turrets Fist uses in his fight. Husks still count as organic creatures. Always know where you enemies are at—peering out from the safety of cover is always a good tactic but be speedy about it, some enemies will quickly flank you, especially if you are in a cave or open battlefield.
TIP Powers: Melee Attack, Acid Spit ranged attack that lowers your damage resistance Notes: The rachni soldier is a heavily armored and dangerous opponent able to engage enemies from up close or at a distance.
Equip the entire squad with shotguns regardless of their Talent ranks. The force behind a shotgun blast is enough to knock down the creepers and keep them from surrounding the squad. Notes: Living appendages of the rachni soldiers, the workers are often used to weaken enemies before the main attack Workers often attack en masse and make suicide runs toward the squad.
Use assault rifles to spray down the area with numerous shots and take out the easy-to-kill insects before they get within range and explode. They have all the abilities of the smaller soldiers Brood Warriors are 2—3 times as large as the soldiers , with a few surprising additions that can catch the unwary off-guard.
There are only six rachni brood warriors two on Nepmos and four on Altahe. Records of the rachni war suggest brood warriors only fight when a hive is severely pressed. Radiation Burst is a gun that does toxic damage. Toxic damage slows healing. The easiest way to kill hopper-class geth is to use Throw or Lift on them as they prowl the peripheral areas of the battle—most of the time the fall damage will be what kills them.
