I'm on my second playthrough, playing new game+ and i have the scorpion pistol equiped. It is impossible to kill Eva at the end with this weapon. Although i'm getting all headshots, the pistol itself will not kill her before the "countdown" until she's right up on you. in fact, i shot her enough it blasted her back towards the cerberus ship, but still nothing. had to switch to my shotgun and got it on the the first try, although by the skin of my teeth considering she was just a few feet away.   sure the remedy for this could be don't use the scorpion till later levels, but that isn't what i would consider an acceptable answer in this case. i should be able to use my scorpion pistol just as i use my shotgun against her.  this is because of the way the scorpion does damage obviously, it's just something that, lets say your playing an adept with just a scorpion, you basically have to start the level over or hope you still have the checkpoint saved at the workbench.  just wanted to give the rest of you a heads up or if anyone else has had this problem, to see if they used the same solution. thanks guys and gals.

Got my account set up just to post on here.

Yeah, you're not the only one. 'New Game +' on 360, Insanity setting. I literally cannot advance in my playthrough and I'm pretty aggravated by the prospect of having to redo the entire Mars mission now.

I took the Black Widow V, and the Scorpion V. When it gets to the fight with Eva, the scorpion is equipped by default. Firing into her results in her 'moving back' almost like she's being hit with a really heavy weapon, sometimes she stops completely and does this weird pose with the orbs all over her. This in itself is odd because normally she just runs towards you non-stop until you kill her. Heck, even the Black Widow doesn't slow her down. But, the 'orbs' never detonate in time no matter how many I hit her with, or where. So the cutscene plays of her beating me up, I see them explode but by then it doesn't register and she knifes me in the face.

Black Widow is impossible to use to recover the situation. She's about 1/2 way to me by the time it's swapped to and 'readied', and while I can nail her in the head twice with my best effort, she still has about 1/3 health, and she stabs me in the face.

This isn't a 'reflex' sorta thing, it's mechanically impossible for somebody to do enough damage in enough time with these weapons. =/ The mission obviously wasn't built around them, and I suspect this is an oversight, with the devs perhaps forgetting there was a workbench/pickups that allow you to refit your team along the way.

So yeah! Really annoying. I submitted a report to the team via Twitter too so hopefully they notice this soon and do something. Now it's time for me to spend another hour or two redoing the entire mission yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. =(

You don't need to redo the level if you have a save a short way back. In the area right before where you talk to tim is a gun. Whenever you pick up a gun you can change to any weapon you own. That is what I did.

Yeah, unfortunately I saved after I got it since... You know, I got a new item. >_< I wasn't as pedantic with saves this time around since I know what's coming so I was primarily using quicksave, and then doing 'big' saves at the start, middle, end of missions at the most. *Sigh*
