So, I keep getting blown to smithereens by that stupid geth cannon. First time play PO dlc, after first few times dying, I watched vids on youtube how to stay out of range from this thing. Vids show hovering as high as you can, others show hiding behind that one rock column when  you first get down there, others show hiding in that little creek near the cliff. I've tried them all; still get blown to ashes. 

 

Anyone have tips that actually work??? Does it matter who you take with you (Garrus, Kasumi)? Does it matter what level you are (lvl 7 w/brand new import from 1)???? 

 

Thanks.

This is my own playthrough Basically, you get near one of the shielded pylons and then aim your vehicle at the next pylon you want to go to. As soon as you see the red circle on the ground, jump up and hit speed boost to get the hell away. Let the cannon take out the pylon for you. I had problems the first time I played because I didn't understand what was going on. But, with some practice it becomes relatively easy. Just keep an eye out for the red targeting circle on the ground and have your vehicle already pointing in the direction you will go when it shows up.

 

Edit: The above link should start at the 54 minute mark. If it doesn't, then advance the vid to the time mark to see the cannon sequence.

As you were replying, I figured it out...it's frustrating as all hell, though. For me: kept moving out of it's targeting triangle, mines showed as yellow lines on the ground. it doesn't matter how high up in the air  you are, if you're in those parameters, you get blown to bits. A lot of moving around and yeah, firing close enough for the blast to take out the generators as you zoom away. As for the final round against the gun itself after the barrier is down, kind of the same process...firing close up, then when it targets you, speed away and its blasts destroy itself; three of its own blasts will kill it.

 

But thank you for trying to help. It bugged the crap out of me. Definitely one of those moments you have to have a LOT of patience for and can't already be a little irked.

Aside from that stupid cannon, I absolutely love that world, though. It's very serene; reminds me of Virmire a bit.

I usually do a variant on this theme where I help the canon take out each pylon (otherwise I think it might take two canon strikes per pylon, one to take out the pylon shield, another for the pylon itself).  Once the main shield is down I just shoot the canon.

If you look at the above linked vid (54 minute mark) you'll see I do that too. I have the cannon take out the shield on one pylon and once I get to the next pylon I start shooting at the one I just jumped away from. I may even shoot at a pylon as I am driving by.

That's how I do it as well

Everytime I play through that, I just wait for the cannon to target me next to one of the pylons.  Once it targets, I jet as far as possible because sometimes it will still mess me up even outside of the red aiming circle.
