Mass Effect 2 - Save the Crates (Insanity Guide)

13 crates saved. Level 14 adept. No nuke. No special builds. About 3 minutes. I kill the first mech in 9 seconds. I'll detail my strategy here, because the video isn't long enough.



1) I use the grenade launcher because it has the fastest DPS of all the heavy weapons. I don't care about total power, I want overwhelming power on 1 target because I'm only going to have enough rounds to take down one.
2) Miranda and Zaeed: I need Miranda for her essentially burst damage effect on shields and armor, and for the SMG and Heavy Pistol, both of which I use. Zaeed's squad disruptor ammo is the core of my ability to kill so quickly especially when shields are down, but at least a point in concussive shot is necessary to drop the mech to its knees once the armor is gone.
3) Mechs: They will only attack you if you are not under fire yourself. That means don't even bother trying to kill more than one at a time. Overwhelm each one before moving on to the next. What you want isn't to necessarily kill the mechs as fast as possible, but to have them stop shooting at the crates and start shooting at shepard. Killing the mechs quickly is a means to an end.

Anyway I think this is a youtube record for now, so go out there and beat it! And give me any feedback you like, I really appreciate it.

You can actually use the missle launcher and lure the mechs over to you, one by one without any crates destroyed.

Just stay at your initial landing point and fire a single missile. The amazing missile will automatically hone in on a mech without needing line-of-sight thus you will not activate the "crate-destroying" script. Once a missle hits, the mech will start moving towards you and you can take them down 1 by 1. Use the shuttle as cover if needed.

20 crates saved with minimum effort.

Well your way is ok........or like me you can do this mission at level ten and just fire the Cain at them as soon as you see them.

Even at level ten on insanity the cain will One shot kill them all together before they have a chance to move apart thus meaning you have saved all 20 crates.

@JoelWTFJOEL If you've got the M-920 Cain heavy weapon, I'd recommend firing that sucker when the two big mechs pass by each other early on and you'll take a huge chunk out of them from the get go. I got it done with I believe 18 crates, could've been 17. Pretty sure 18 crates though. In case you care maybe a lil bit. :)
