I never knew what a sync kill was until I started playing MP.  So EDI's dialogue in Leviathan didn't really mean much to me. (Now I know all to well. ) My question is: can you get sync killed in SP?

Don't think I've ever seen it, although I've only done 2 playthroughs of the storyline.

Now that would have made the game much more annoying. Also, what the hell am I doing here!? 

[Locutus_of_BORG]

Yes you can get sync'd in SP. But it's not nearly as bad as in MP where even the slightest lag between host and guest would basically result in a death.

[Daemul]

Yes, you can get sync killed in SP, as can your squadmates. Banshee's are the worst for it.

[BioWareAre****s]

Yes. Never happened to me* but I remember reading a live review of ME3 SP where the third post was something like "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THING PICKING ME UP AND SLAMMING ME INTO THE GROUND FOR??? HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!" (Was the Brute on Menae)

*Thinking about it, probably happened on London on my Insanity playthrough. Really shouldn't have done that as a Vanguard.

There was one trailer leading up to launch where Liara got synch'd by an Atlas, and another where Femshep got sync'd by a Phantom. I think I've had Banshees synch squadmates, but it's never happened to me in-game before.

I think I've been synced by a Banshee before. But, that was a long time ago. Best sync kill I've seen was shortly after Leviathan came out. I was doing the Ontarom mission and used Dominate on the Phantom (in that control room). She immediately turned around and stabbed the Nemesis that was with her.

Wish I could have video taped it.

Having played as a vangaurd on insanity, I know the pain of the missile segment as well. However, I don't recall being sync killed there. I'm honestly not sure it ever happened to me in SP, out of 3 playthroughs. There just weren't enough of those enemies for it to be an issue, and I played cautiously with those particular enemies.

MP on the other hand...

here's the trailer

The only squadmate I've seen sync is Ashley by a Banshee when protecting the missles. For myself I have been sync twice by Banshees

[AlexMBrennan]

Yes, but the sync kill chance depends on difficulty (on the easiest difficulty, synckillchance is 0.0, on the highest it's 1.0 I.e. always)

I got sync killed by the Rannoch Reaper. Damn I had that thing aimed red beam fired at it for the final shot dead center. Click Click click Click Click nothing. Then all of a sudden its beam jumps and kills me. And yes my game is loaded on the HD.

[Nitrocuban]

Well, in SP it does not matter much if you just go down the usual way or if you are synced, it's always a Game Over.
But, yes, sync kills can happen in SP, too. Banshees and Phantoms on a regular basis, Atlases and Brutes not so much. Dunno if Collectors in Armax Arena.

[ImaginaryMatter]

What I always found amusing is that if you're a Sentinel and you have both Tech Armor and something like Fortification activated you can shrug them off like it's nothing.

[BronzTrooper]

I've done Insanity as every class and Vanguard is definitely the most risky class to play as if you don't know the primes for the synch-kill capable enemies (Banshee's glow, Brute's red eyes, Atlas melee, Phantom melee, Scion melee, Praetorian melee) and when they aren't primed for a synch-kill (Banshee no glow, Brutes w/o red eyes, Atlas shooting you, Phantom shooting you, Scion shooting you, Praetorian lazers). As long as you know this you reduce your chances of getting grabbed by 75%.

That said, I got grabbed once on Insanity in my first Vanguard playthrough on the asteroid in Leviathan. I had Liara and Kaidan with me and I tried as hard as I could to stagger her with BE's but, alas, the stagger never came... I only got grabbed because, somehow, I got backed into a corner with nowhere to go.

[CrutchCricket]

Would it matter if the squadmates got instakilled? They'd get right back up after all the enemies are dead. I'm guessing you wouldn't be able to revive/medigel revive them before that, right?

Yes, you can medi-gel them. I always have at least one squadie get sync'ed by a Banshee during the final Monastary fight. Usually it is Liara getting hung out to dry. She's probably thinking to herself "Why all the agro? I'm a pureblood too!"

[TheMyron]

What I saw with me own eyes...

A brute picked Myron Shepard up and slammed him to the ground on Palavan's moon after getting jabbed a few times with an Omni-blade...

On Thessia, a Banshee lifted Liara up and penetrated her without so much has the courtesy of a warning, let alone going slow and gentle, and as soon as the Banshee was finished ravaging her, she simply tossed Liara aside as if she were trash...

On the Citadel, Garrus was run through, twice, by a single Phantom...

I was pretty bad at getting synch'd with my vanguard against banshees.

Oh. Well then instakills are no worse than regular takedowns in SP I guess.

Must be nice...<_<

With normal takedowns, you can still run over and revive them.  If they get synch-killed then you have to use Medi-Gel to revive them.

[CrutchCricket]

Still a better deal than MP. ****, medigel after instakill? It'd be like suddenly realizing you can crap gold.
