I'm playing at Hardcore difficulty and I can't get passed round 2.

Any tips??

If you have the weapon pack that features the Typhoon give that to any squadmate who can use AR's then set them in a good vantage point to cover you. The Mirrors almost exclusively target the player so your squad should be built around dealing as much damage as possible.

I beat it relatively easily by taking Ashley and Samara (my shep was an Adept) on the Blasteroid map and holding up in the structure on the bottom left corner of the map. The only ones that were any real threat were Vanguards but as long as you were able to survive their nova they'd be gunned down quickly.

I'll try this..Thanks.

I play as an Infilitrator. It's frustrating how they still target me even when I'm cloaked.

Suppressor with scope and heavy barrel mod, and disruptor ammo maxed for headshots. It's surprising how effective it is. My Infiltrator was able to solo it on Hardcore, haven't tried Insanity yet.

I went in with Damage Boost, Wrex, and Garrus. I was a soldier.

Garrus removed their shields, Wrex damaged their armor, and I pelted them with incendiary fire before they got close. I also use Defense Matrix a lot, as it gives you more shield capacity and can regenerate it to full if it goes down, an ability any class can get in the Normandy med bay.

I played an infiltrator on insane, hardcore and that worked, I also tried to get to higher ground when possible. So it's killable, probably easiest at a range though.

I used the Armax classic map. I think that's what it was called anyway.

I'm also using all the weapondmg mods and headshotdmg mods I can wear.

ah, yes. i believe that's the most important part. You get gang raped if they get in close, and classic is the biggest and most open map.

I made halfway through the third round after like 10 other tries before I just gave up. Also, is it just me, or do Wrex and Grunt have a habit of just..watching you.

Pick Fatal Errors map or what ever it's called and stay far back from them as a infil and use black widow and cloak.

Should also note Energy Drain staggers them and, with the right power tree, gives you 40% damage protection and full shields.

All good suggestions. I'll keep them in mind.

I found that talon X with incendiary explosive ammo with defense matrix (that recovering 100% shields tapping a button) did well with Garrus and Wrex.

Garrus to take off their shields wrex to send him in and make fire explosions.

And in the Fatal Error map, I couldn't do it in any other.

(I was a soldier and sometimes use grenades, and the last kill was with the harrier taht I used for hte first time during the fight. Most of it was talon and recovering shields, sometimes medigel)

I'm going to be so disappointed if this is one of those encounters that devs specifically design to only be completable with specific builds.

I thought it was easy on hardcore. I gave Grunt and James the typhoon and I used the Lancer with the mag upgrade and the stability mod. I also used soldier, so I mapped CS to the right bumper as a second gun essentially

On hardcore I used Jack and Wrex as per my usual in the arena. I was a Vanguard, placed Jack back in cover while letting Wrex do his thing in close quarters. Not that hard until they amped up their flank and group attacking on the last wave. As much as charge/nova, I simply kept blasting with my trusty Adas Anti-Synthetic Rifle with incendiary ammo that I'd been using throughout the game, modded to enhance clip size. The Adas was just melting away everything I pointed it at, synthetic or not.

Oh, and I used Fatal Errors map, for no other reason than I went right into this battle immediately after the fight that introduced that map, so went with what I had just become familiar with.

Well I played with a Vanguard with Wrex and Grunt. Their grenades helped once thier shields were down. I used a Piranha X with the Heavy Barrel (damage and piercing in one) and Smart Choke. Charge Nova all day... with some shotgun blasts to the face with incendiary ammo to really screw the clones over.

Barring that, I'd just say take your time and aim for the head. Most of them are pretty dangerous up close.

It was kind of a twist on me. Everything has been so easy getting the armor. Then I buy this mirror stuff and I'm getting owned on my Lolovaguard

When they hit you with a power(Warp,etc) Immediately roll and that will avoid the stun lock affect. Meaning you will be hit once and not multiple times.


I play as a Sentinel so the challenge was fun. (Hardcore/Insanity) Sentinel Shep with Liara,Samara,and or Javik.
I kill shields and they blow off biotic explosions. Lancer and M-11 X. I also had a few of the bonuses equipped. More enemy shields,damage etc. No ammo pickups etc. I think the only two I left off were no medi-gel and +player damage. My first attempt was on the second map that is already unlocked. Prime Evil is a good map.

As an Infiltrator you can use your squad mates to set up and detonate Biotic explosions off of each other. Liara,Samara etc can detonate Javik's Dark Channel. Samara's Throw  can detonate Liara's Warp. etc,plus what others have suggested.

It's OK. I play the games on Casual. I'm not good at the twitchy games, never have been. It's all about the story and role playing for me.

I kinda went cheap....

Vega and Garrus both wielding the Adas Anti-synthetic rifles....

The knockback effect and the damage it does in both their hands combined with incidenary ammo (me as an infiltrator)?

Easy even on insanity....

Infiltrator on Insanity with Grunt/wraithX Garrus/raptorX and I have BW X myself. Take the high ground with Garrus and let Grunt do his thing, whenever someone is left alone take him out with headshot. Point is to always take the high ground and take out Vanguard first. Shouldn't have too much trouble even on Insanity. It's strangely satisfying to see sheperd's head explode through the scope XD

P.S. with BW equip thermal scope because that lowers the zoom and makes headshots easier.
