I am trying to run through Pinnacle Station, but I am having trouble with the time trials. I need to beat 1:20 in both the Tropical and Warehouse. I am an infiltrator and I have Ashley and Wrex on my team. Anything I am not doing that would help?
Thanx a bunch,
Robbie

Ashley/Garrus can be a better team for Warehouse; Garrus gets damage bonuses that Wrex doesn't. Wrex's Throw makes him the better choice for Tropical, since there are a lot of places there where you can Throw baddies into the wall, which is a 1HKO and saves you a lot of time - make sure you're using it whenever possible. Also, be sure you're using your deadliest available ammo on your whole team. The holographic enemies still count as organic/synthetic, so tungsten against geth and shredder against mercs is best. Inferno is a good choice too if you have it. Spam Marksman and don't even bother with your other abilities. Never, ever stop firing.
The time trials spawn a group of enemies at once, and then once you've killed them all, the next group spawns. A good trick is to get past the first group, and cut them down while backing away from them toward the next spawn point. Don't be afraid to sprint when needed, or to play a couple times without worrying about the time limit just to figure out the spawn pattern.
Also, don't forget your grenades. They're hardly epic or anything, but they're good for knocking guys out of cover (particularly if you're packing HE), which can be very important in Warehouse. That first obnoxious cluster just up the stairs in Tropical go down a lot quicker when you soften them up with a couple grenades first as well - just lodge them in the wall above the mobs on your way up the stairs, it'll let you start doing damage before you get line of sight.

Well, what level are you at?
1. If you're not high level, say 45+ range, go level up some, 50+ would be better. That way you could pick up some sets of spectre x guns. Those will help a lot.
2. If you're not using it use Wrex's warp to weaken the defenses on your enemies, do so. The same applies to overload if you have it.
3. Any crowd control biotics such as lift, singularity or throw can be used to enemies out of cover. A gun loaded with HE can sometimes be used to do the same thing.
4. If you haven't already done so set your squad to use powers defensively. That will leave the offensive powers for use when you are ready.
5. Don't forget that you can aim while the power console is up. It can save time.
Hope that helps
