Heck, the first firewalker mission doesn't even involve anyone shooting at you. It is just pure tutorial on how to use the thing. In fact, 3 out of the 5 firewalker missions have no one shooting at you. They are simply about driving around and picking stuff up.
By my count, you only need to shoot with the Hammerhead on three missions:
1) Overlord DLC when you need to shoot the shield pylons at Prometheus station.
You only need to shoot mechs and turrets at the planet to get the Cerberus data packets ONLY ONCE to get the achievement. Once you have the achievement, you can ignore getting the data packets.
For Vulcan station, you can ignore all turrets as the minerals they guard are not worth the effort. You can get many more minerals by planet scanning.
2) The Firewalker: Artifact Collection mission. You pretty much have to kill every Geth on this mission to complete it since most of them guard the artifacts. BUT the mission is completely optional and you can ignore this mission entirely.
3) The Firewalker: Prothean Dig Site mission (I think that is what it is called; I am writing this from memory). You need to shoot the shield pylons to drop the shield. Turrets will shoot at you, BUT you can ignore the turrets completely. Their missiles are slow and straight, and you can dodge or jump over them with ease. Just drive around and shoot the shield pylons and move on.
@Sasnak Kid. I am surprised at how much trouble you are having with the driving sections in this game. As cap and gown says, it is mostly driving and rarely is anything shooting at you. And the skycar driving segment in LotSB is quick, and has lots of checkpoints so it should not be that big of a problem. Just hold the boost down as it is unlimited and get moving.
I do not recall anyone ever complaining about how the driving handles in ME2, but I know a lot of players complained about the Mako in ME1.
