  • I better tactic 4 the YMIR Mech is to go to the building on you left. Sprint in there as there is a case of HW ammo and he will not be able to get you in there :)

  • I did mine with an engineer. Just reaved the shit out of everything while sending me team to their death :D

  • U did 2nd playtrought at ME1 for lv 60 and rich full paragon/renegade?

  • I'm about to start my first insanity playthrough soon :)

  • mass effect is an incredible game i love it!!

    

  • can't wait to get this 2mo... i know i'm gettin it late

  • Where is part two ?

  • Good video, you have the exact same strategy as me. I reckon the best power is geth shield boost though, saved my life so many times, and I use Miranda with garrus or mordin for every mission pretty much.

  • I remember insanity. I've only played ME1 but I had started at the lowest difficulty and upgraded my character and squad and slowly increased the difficulty for the next play through. Took damn near forever but it was worth it in the long run.

  • It took me forever, but somehow I got every single achievement for this game, including the DLC ones!

  • Not that hard with a low level Soldier

  • Look guys this is the easier difficulty than in ME1. If your a soldier you are OP. Adrenaline rush with vindicator or mattock will give you a solo cakewalk through the game. I finished this without dying and in two days. So if your scared of dying, don't be, soldier is the easiest class there is.

  • I am totally confused here, when i try it, this dudes way, i die like in 2 seconds, 1 second, the shields are gone and the next second, i am dead, so something is totally wrong here.

    Also, i personally hate how fire ammo turns your enemies into flames, it just doesn't look nice to me.

    Hardened Adren doesn't reduce all damage done to you by 50%, its only your health, which makes it crap, since you lose shields in 0.1 second on insanity and you die a second later, so useless.

    Good Video though.

  • @BoredandTired81 Yes, but if you are using an automatic weapon the Hardened Adrenaline Rush makes more bullets fly out thus, doing more damage. If you are only going to be sniping and using your pistol then they other Adrenaline Rush upgrade is better since everything is slower and you only need a few shots to kill the opponent.

  • Soldier - Adrenaline Fucking Rush = Insanity Killer

    Infiltrator - Tactical Cloak = Insanity Killer

  • It is much easier to defeat that first YMIR Mech boss if you enter on of the buildings and shoot it from there. Then you're not running around trying to avoid rockets and machine gun fire.

  • fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck i cant even get trough the scion part -.- grunt and garrus suk in this mission always get killed and not even kill those fucking husks...

  • Picking warp ammo as a soldier is useless. You already get 3 types, plus warp isn't as good as ap ammo.

  • @HeWasAnHero if warp ammo is useless what soldier should take instead of warp ammo ?

  • @MrDesmond133 AP Ammo (Armor Piercing) it can do up to + 60% of damage vs. Armor and health to the +50% of Warp ammo to armor health and barriers; and the +70% of the shredder Ammo that only affects Health; So i recomend using Shreder ammo or AP ammo against Collectors and Blood-Pack mercs..

  • @xXLDeusXx if the AP or Shreder ammo reach lvl 4 the best upgrades for insanity is it for ourselves or for a group ? because I read best upgrade is for group if you don't use member who have ammo buff in insanity.

  • @MrDesmond133 depends on the group, i prefer to leave grunt and garrus with their mas level Inferno and Tungsten ammo (respectedly) but if your a soldir or vanguard with a Tech/Biotic team (i.e Samara and Mordin) I recomend using the squad use version, but only if you REALY like using them, but i recomend giving Zaeed Squad use disruptor ammo (Unless your a soldier or infiltrator that intends on getting Mas power disruptor ammo) BTW: I REALY like Reave as bonus skill! :D

  • @xXLDeusXx so it depends on the squad we choose. thank you for your advice I really need this guidance because I'm confuse using soldier ( already beat the game two times using sentinel ). :D

  • @MrDesmond133 happy to help; and remember to consider levels that have only robotic enemies (Mechs and Geth) and other that only have Flesh enemies (Blood Pack and Collectors) and remeber wich defenses enemies get when in Insanity: Collectors-> Barrier;Vorcha->Armor;Blue suns and Eclipse->shields;Geth-> shields;Mechs->Armor; and if you import a high level from a mass effect 2 save (i.e. a level 30 soldier) enemies will be tougher(level 30 and upgraded)so i recommend using a fresh save! :D

  • @xXLDeusXx I'll keep that in mind. thank you friend ! :D

  • @xXLDeusXx except it doesnt effect barriers, and the main enemy of the game has barriers. for soldier i dont usually pick an ammo power cause there's no point, you already have basic versions of every ammo. you should try picking up a power like energy drain or reave, heightened versions of the best powers in game (overload/warp) so you can do anything without teammates

  • @MrMouse099 but the barriers collector drones get at Hardcore and Insanity are soooo weak that having a biotic with warp (or samara with reave) or a soldier( Concusive shot does good damage vs. barriers) is already good, my favorite team, Me (infiltrator with Reave) Grunt (Inferno Ammo Concusive blast) and Thane(pull, throw and shreder ammo) or instead of Thabe i pick samara as my DM with the Mattock in her hands, plus she has got reave too! :D (DM=Designated Marksman)

  • the mech... shield with the assault rifle, since you dont have smg; armor with the pistol (or sniper if he is away), and then the health with what you want...

    you used the sniper for the shield, the shotgun for the armor... man they dont do any bonus dmg against those defence layers...

    so i'd say this guide is crap

  • a few other things: dont use warp ammo, use fortification. you can just spam it when up against hard enemies and fully upgraded it give you twice as much shields.

    also us the cerburus armour in the free DLC. it gives you 10% more health and shields :)

  • @iDevastationMedia Fortification is Useless, use Barrier, it has NO animation and all shield upgrades have the same protection bonus, but the geth shield and barrier suffer from cooldown and duration Upgrades (barrier from biotic ones and Geth shield from tech ones) and Fortification has no upgrades to researche

  • any time i pop out of cover in insaneity, all enemies light me up and i get pretty much insta-killed :'(

  • Dude with the YMIR Mech you send miranda and Jacob in one building and you go to the other so you have cover and the mech is getting hit from 2 angles.

  • lol Achievement hunter is like my only reason for youtube. Maybe I should go on their website :D

  • where is part 2?

    

  • @Greeksexpop no

  • VANGUARD ROCKZ

  • 1:52 Spoock USB drive?

  • Why you do not use adrenaline rush ?

  • I wish I had harbinger's voice :(

  • Armor Piercing Ammo is better than Warp Ammo IMO :)

  • lvl 60? Srsly?

  • WTF he makes all this vids on ME2 and never finishes the series so first its "how to beat insanity" and he didnt make part 3 then he makes this and doesnt make a part 2 and possibly a part 3 if he needs... WTF ughhh RAGE QUIT

  • Insanity isn't that hard if u play smart

    Pick an infiltrator as you get tactical cloak(changing cover and once maxed out increases weapon damage alot), incinerate(shields),sniper, machine gun and pistol

    For squadmates i recommend miranda for warp and overload and grunt as he can tank and get pwned put still live

    The only levels that are hard are Horizon and the Ghost ship if you stay back with miranda and snipe and let grunt just run a muck and upgrade health,med mack capacity and machine pistol

  • Game companies are so fucking lazy when it comes to difficulty settings.

    They just give the enemies a lot more hit power (which I like) but a fucking CRAZY amount of health.

    It doesn't make you feel like you're particularly badass when you're having to find glitched corners and stuff (not hating on the video, I had to do this too). The whole point of a higher difficulty should be to punish you if you're stupid and careless and to challenge you but still make you feel like you can be a badass.

  • playing the game on insanity....heavy risk but the piiiiize

  • @cj4712 what happens if you beat it on insanity?

  • @KillswitchJohn the prize is....a 75g achievement :P

  • 62 hours out of ME1??? christ im lucky if i get 40 :S

  • Sniper Rifle + Adrenaline Rush=win!

  • with the ymir mech at the start head left and hide in the builing. missiles cannothit you theremaking this much easier

  • Don't do any loyalty missions and rush through with infiltrator.

  • Save ammo, use adrenaline rush and melee

  • when you get damaged badly the affect looks freaky

  • Lol this is a pretty good guide.

    Even though i already beat the game twice on insanity x3

    This game is so much more fun on insanity.

  • i can't believe people need a guide to beat insanity

    i played my first run on insanity as soldier and had little trouble. and in my import run after that, i didn't die once. soldier is not a challenging class =/

  • @jeffglp no, but first time mass effect playthru as an infiltrator is, and not knowing how to use the biotics

  • @Kisame90279

    Infiltrator and biotics?

  • @Care4PieAny1 I mean like, how to use overload, incinerate, etc... first time playthru

  • @Kisame90279

    aint that really easy?

  • Can't get the Suicide Mission song out of my head...

  • i didnt think insanity was too hard......

  • transcribe audio is so rubbish it is funny

  • Fragger, it would have been better to make a guide on how to beat the game WITHOUT DLCs and not to mention not everyone is going to have played Mass Effect before playing Mass Effect 2. I don't have any DLCs and I haven't even played Mass Effect, but my first playthrough I beat the game on Hardcore with a Soldier without losing anyone in the Suicide Mission. By the way, Warp Ammo? Really? All you really need is Disruptor and Incendiary ammo and maxxed out Adrenaline Rush and you should be fine.

  • I dont give a fuck about toyota!!! im watching fucking Mass Effect 2!!!

  • how do you get the revenent?

  • LOL i played the game on Insanity at first it was hard but then i got all the upgrades and the assault rifle you get on the collector ship (dont remember the name its been a while since i played ME2) it was like playing on normal and when i tried normal the enemis were dying like in the trailers :D

  • just to you know , you suck, using warp ammo against robots !? WTF

    use disruptor ammo, then to armor use fire ammo....dam how they lets noob making guide

  • This guide sucks.

  • This game is a PAIN to play on insanity when you start your play-through fresh. Good for XP and quick leveling i guess but damn man.

  • wat if u got it for the ps3? they didnt make mass effect1 so i only got mi mass effect 2 character i can import

  • I DONT GET THIS GUY.... why the fuck you dont change for disruptor ammo instead of wasting your ammo with incendiary!?

    flammable ammo is good against organics targets with armor/health .

    disruptor ammo is highly effective against syntethic targets with shields.

    in this case use disruptor to shield and then incendiary ammo for armor and health !!!

  • @rffmgv Honestly after playing Insanity on soldier...It's really hard to keep switching from disrupter to incendiary every time you break someone's shields..so I do the same thing and just use incendiary most of the time. It really does a lot of damage to shields, so much that disrupter isn't really needed on the assault rifles. It's nice to have it on the pistols or sniper rifles to get them down quick, then finish them off with the AR.

  • THIISSS GGAAAMMMMEEE ISSSS AAAAMMMMMMAAAAAZZZZIIIIINNNGGG­GG! AARRRGGHHHHHHHH

    *ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL*

  • @TheCrazedLorry98 BOOM HEADSHOT! Now you're dead. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • how is using cheap tactics to beat the game fun? whats the point of even playing it?

  • This si pretty useful but he uses snipers against shields (which they're not very good against) and shotguns against armour (which they're not good at) if he switched them round things would have gone more smoothly.

  • @arvin1212 Yeh if you get the evil one she becomes automatically loyal, because you completed the assignment by killing samara

  • i use the incisor like the intervention (quick skoopz 4 teh win!!!)

  • Fuck you Kevin Butler!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @HALOgeekADNE31

    Hahahaha. This game is now for PS3 also. Sorry fanboy.

  • I need to play this in HD!

  • I was like what the hell? you don't meet a bunch of Koreans in freedoms progress.. and then i caught on haha

  • wheres part two

  • It is nobodies business!

  • I like Fragger the best, hes probably the most helpful, everyone else is about comedy and stuffs.

  • Pistol does more damage to the Armor part of the YMIR Mech btw. :D

  • Awesome clip, I got all the Easter egss for this game at videogamestrategyguides (.) net

  • If I was tied to a chair watching this video I couldnt stop myself from trying to play Mass effect 2

  • @FFIIInerd I know how it is.

  • awesome, this vid showed me how to get the lair of the shadow broker pack free! - youtube.com/watch?v=33-1iRVKui­M

  • do you use real money to buy packs

  • Why'd I watch this, I don't have mass effect 2 or 1

  • @ClanSeVere THEN GO GET IT!!!!!!!!!!

  • @ClanSeVere for the commentary, why else?

  • @ClanSeVere then dont

  • @ClanSeVere well maby its cuz a bunch of other people have it and need help you fucking retard!!

  • @ClanSeVere fail

    

  • @ClanSeVere Because Mass Effect is just that amazing.

  • @ClanSeVere Because the paragon side of you is telling you to get it :o) And then theres me a collector at your window ready to harvest your brains.

  • @ClanSeVere then get it! IT AMAZANG!

  • @ClanSeVere Do yourself a favor and buy the games or at least buy the third one next year.

  • @ClanSeVere The question is WHY don't YOU have them.

  • Thumbs up for fragger!!!

  • Here's what I did: Start with a brand new character level 1. Choose Armor Piercing as a bonus power. I also had all DLC's, Geth Plasma Shotgun works really well. Also I was a soldier, they're the best because you have adrenaline rush. Also do as many side quests as you can before fighting the collectors. I got everyone loyal as well. The ammo I upgraded was disruptor and armor piercing. Disruptor is good against shields and synthetics, armor piercing is good against armor and flesh.

  • very good vid

  • Holy shit, this game is coming for PS3, cause i'm happy, and ME pwns. EEEHEEEHEEE

  • @chargerfighter1 i love ps3sssssssssssssss cos i got 1 for xmas the i bought mw2 i want mass effect 2 for it

  • @deeazza

    It'll be here the 11th of this coming January. I'm SO FUCKING EXCITED!!!

  • @chargerfighter1 

    ty for telling me

  • there is no & in the url

  • @iJack97 then theres no more grey bar

  • @iJack97 there is no & in the URL unless you clicked this from a "related" video.

  • I did my first profile ever on insanity and i was a soldier

  • For mass Effect is this only good live or can u do all this offline? also can u do multiplayer on saem console?

  • @YakoraShaman

    No.

  • @SwordGames

    if you haven't already i recomend getting Mass effect 1 and playing through that cause you'll get some bonuses that will help in ME2 when you import your ME1 character like extra money, paragon/renegade points, and extra XP

  • @SwordGames

    yes you can, assuming you survive the suicide mission of course

  • Comment removed

  • If he's gonna use glitches throught the whole guide the screw this

  • fragger seems better at this game than he used to be. giving out that shit advice

  • when is the next ME2 insanity vid going to be up?

  • I was able to complete the game on Insanity since watching this video. 1 week for me to complete the game on insanity, and more than one week for you to upload part 2.

    :/

  • Aw, dude you got to try Sentinel. Just plain awesome.

  • i got this game used. and it came with a bunch of codes for all that DLC ended up alll being used. guess the douchebag had the courtesy to put it back in

  • @Chaze111 man that happened to me two :(

  • @Chaze111 lucky you mine got taken completely and it wasnt second hand

  • Did it on insanity on my first play through, no deaths, level 60 import. What will save your life, even more than warp ammo, is inferno/incendiary anything. Burning your enemies is so powerful and comes in to most effect at the end of the game.

  • I find that armor piercing rounds coupled with the geth assault rifle is very useful as it takes down bariers and sheilds through the base stats of the weapon and then destroys armor very quickly with the armor piercing rounds

    I tore through everything very quickly with this combo

  • i just beat it on insanity with a soldier and i thought the best perk was the geth shield boost, it was super handy

  • What i did was Easy 1st playthrough, Upgrade MY Weps, not squad.

    2nd, do same, except get Reave. Once you get to Collector ship (1st time) get better AR (Machine gun if possible), then after horizon, switch Reave for Warp ammo. Take CONSTANT COVER! and dont EVER Get Reaper IFF untill EVERYTHING is upgraded, Even For squad, then Swap Weps for ALL RAPID. Always Take Collector Beam and only use on Extremely hard boss'.

    Never waste ammo, stay in cover, use biotics, use Medigels, always go for HS

  • @ANNIHILATIONist Hope my post Helps you guys ^_^

  • Honestly i fucking hate this guy, why is he doing a guide? hes just gonna go half way through and stop making vids for it like he did before >.>

    And BTW Bionic W/Fortification = EZ Mode

  • @GAARAisthebeast i dont hate him nut i do hope he does make it all the way through

  • @casey111994 You want a guide for insane? like i said Bionic W/Fortification is super easy, all you need are people to balance it out like Mordin with his fire attack for killing people with armor and than a person of choice ( I Suggest Grunt )

    insane really isnt hard if you just stick to cover with a bionic :/

  • @GAARAisthebeast nah ive beat it on insanity actually i just dont want him to flake out again

  • Can't you change your armor when you meet illusive guy ? and hooray for cheese puffs :)

  • I didn't like how easy the last boss is in this game. Who agrees?

  • @matte2468 should have fight the general and the reaper :)

  • Yay! Finaly back! Already beat it on insanity but will be useful for if my brother wants to beat it. Oh and I find it easiest with infiltrator soley because of invisability.

  • dass dam Hut jarted Hündin eall über den pac

  • snipe the heavy mech in the head and he does like a nuke explosion when he dies

  • awesome

    

  • If you're going to follow this guide, don't follow it to the letter. Warp ammo is a complete waste for the soldier. You should mainly use Disruptor ammo and Incendiary ammo armor if you have the squad points.

    Other than that this guy doesn't suck that much, better than most guides on youtube

  • @countbassy excellent point, also, he doesn't mention that different wepons have different damage to protection. heavy pistols and snipers (and possibly shotguns) are good against armour, assault rifles and SMGs are good against sheilds. not so sure whats best against barriers, i thinks it's the assault and smg again.

  • @countbassy Warp is a complete waste huh? Then tell me which weapon in a soldiers inventory strips barriers really fast. Let's see, Vindicator does 1.25 times damage to barriers. Revenant is 1.2. Carnifex is 1.0. Viper is 1.15. Widow is 1.0. Scimitar is 1.5. Eviscerator is 1.25. Claymore is 1.25. Since soldiers have no SMG's no weapon is good at stripping barriers at any range. Then considering warp ammo has bonuses against barriers armor and health makes it useful for anyone.

  • BOOM HEADSHOT!!!! there hes gone

  • As far as this guide goes, this is a very sloppy play-through of the first level. When I did Soldier on Insanity, I managed to keep Jacob and Miranda alive for a lot longer when I faced the YMIR heavy mech.

  • annybody knows how to get the dlc you normally get with cerberus network?

    i activated the code but can't seem to find annything about it

  • Play the game you will understand

  • That game looks boring. I don't get it how so many ppl love it and it got so good rates.

  • @Greew11

    This is just the first level. The other levels get much better.

    Also, this game's story is what made it so popular, being basically a better-written Avatar.

  • @JannikDetheroc a better-written avatar? that insults this game. i could shit on a piece of paper and it would be better writing than avatar.

  • @bloodwrage

    Cool. Do it.

  • this acutally looks like a really interesting series. Can't wait for more!

  • jesus christ the ending of kasumi's loyalty mission is fuckin relentless!!! also, i think geth shield boost is best for insanity as it is a life saver on sooooooooo many parts(especially the dreaded platforms during ghost ship.) also helmets suck(i just wear the eyepiece that gives 10% extra headshot damage.)

  • Insanity with a Biotic is harder and funner, but it makes some parts easier, just slower

  • hey fragger is there anyway to get downloads from the collectors edition of me2 because ive only got the normal version and i was woundering if you can get the downloads for like the terminus weapons/armour and the reacon hud and umbro visor so i was just asking if its possible to get them without the collectors edition of the game

  • @ROGUESPECTRE101 Periods and commas are your friend.

  • @shagoosty wow i didnt know that, yeah i know they are my friend when im writing formaly. However im writing online and tbh i dont really make to much of an effort when im typing on youtube unless I want to, and atm i was only asking a question bout the game so im not really to bothered in what you have to say. Unless you want to say something usefull for the game which will help me in the game, so go and spend your time doing something usefull and not annoy people about there spelling.

  • @ROGUESPECTRE101 Except I honestly didn't understand what the hell you were saying in your first comment. And I assume other people had the same problem.

  • @shagoosty well i was asking if there is anyway to get the downloads which are avaible on the collectors edition of mass effect 2 on the normal edition of mass effect 2. This is what i asked does it make sence to you now.

  • Thumbs up for SPOOOOOOCK

  • i found insanity insanly easy with aninfiltrator with only about 2 parts actually being hard and it was the collectors before i had thane or legion

  • i never wore a helmet either

  • Lol same birthday as me

  • @PeterEmil399 you sir get thumbs up for telling me this 

  • @PeterEmil399 what &?.. thumbs up if you're thinking the same thing..

  • @PeterEmil399 Holy hell... IT WORKS :DDDD NO MORE FREAKING GREY BAR!!

  • @PeterEmil399 i dont have it on ma url

  • @PeterEmil399 nice job

  • @PeterEmil399 does it work with every video? im gonna test

  • @PeterEmil399 just get google chrome ad block and it blocks the bar :P OWNAGE!!

  • Where's part 2???

  • If you're an Infiltrator, select the Slam bonus power. Since you don't have very good close range weapons, slam is the equivalent to a shotgun. When fully upgraded, it can be used every 3 seconds or so. This means that swarms of enemies, be it mechs or husks, can easily be dealt with using a very quick and effective one-hit-kill power.

  • A guide with soldier is pointless. Soldier easily has the highest damage output of any class by a lot. You can get up to 240% damage with Rank 4 of your skills. You get 140% from Heightened Adrenaline Rush, 15% from Miranda's bonus, another 15% from your Commando, and 70% from AP ammo. This is disregarding armor, point blank, and headshot multipliers which are ridiculously easy to land with Adrenaline Rush. I was able to take out all 4 tubes hooked up to the Human-Reaper in one adrenaline rush.

  • I preferred the infiltrator to soldier and its powers seemed a lot more helpful, but once you get past freedoms progress, garrus loyalty, and collector ship its gets easy. But that tactical cloak makes ymir mech and praerorian boss guys really easy. Then the suicide mission with max reave ability was just too easy
