The drone maxed out on Tali is quite useful for taking on anything large at close range.

Well, I just completed my first Insanity run. Gotta say, wouldn't have been able to do it without you suicidal charging bastards. Keep up the good work.

Instatly started up a new game to try out a female Shepard Adept.



I do have one question I wouldn't mind knowing the answer to. I picked up the AR spec on the collector ship, if I started a NG+ I know i'll keep the AR but when I get to the Collector ship again will I be able to pick up the Claymore and keep the AR?

Although... nothing stopping me from making another Vanguard....

Done 3 runs as a Vanguard.  1 as an Adept.  Just beat Horizon on my new Infiltrator.  Miss my Vanguard.:(

I'm with you on that. Started a Sentinel recently. I find myself running up to enemies and trying to knock 'em out with my exploding shield somewhat like a Vanguard.

I just got to Horizen with my soldier and I'm losing steam. I just want to get my hands on the Revenant already. Adrenaline rush with the Evi is not bad though.

This is a good thread but there is a problem with one of sinosleep's videos. On his Grunt Recruitment video, there are less mercs than in my game. I'm having trouble with this part, and I can't seem to get past it.

After the first four mercs you look out and there's a few behind an assortment of walls. Then to the left up the stairs there are no mercs, but in my game there are two. Also back down the stairs on the other side, there is a walk way I don't think you can charge onto. Not sure. But there are no mercs there in the video, but there are two there for me as well.

I'm not sure if it is different on xbox because that's what I'm playing on, or is the setting not on Insanity for that particular video?

Just to say I leant a lot about playing the VG from this thread and damn, other classes so SLOW after you play one. And I really really like Squad Cryo Ammo on Insanity, whoever thought of that was genius.



Anyways. Husk Charge can easily be stopped by having Zaeed's grenade skills. And switching to Area Charge. It makes mincemeat out of any group of Husks.



Any tips on playing the other classes more VG like?

I had the same amount of mercs as sinosleep did when I did that particular section. I believe the reason there are no mercs there is because of charge. You charge over the trigger that should spawn those enemies without activating it so they never spawn. That's just what I believe happens. I could be completely wrong though.

Ha that's weird. Well I hope I can charge over those areas because those 4 mercs are the worst out of all of them. They completely change the way I have to play this part.

Just out of curiosity, do you play on xbox or PC?

Edit: Well no matter what I do those mercs keep on showing up.  This is a real pain in the ass.

Great minds think alike...  I think all the regulars here are having the same problem.  Just keep coming back to the Vanguard for the rush.  I'm trying to make a "Close Quarters Combat" Infiltrator that uses Tactical Cloak to move in close for the kill, but I kid you not, still, every time I see my target, I want to Charge.

Think we need a help group? Some kind of Vanguards Anonymous type thing.

Hi, my name is ShoNuffarian and I've been a Vanguard for 3 playthroughs.

I haven't even finished my 2nd Vanguard run, and probably don't plan to. All the missions post level 20 will just end up playing like my 1st Vanguard(Charging everything in sight). The only reason I even made a 2nd Vanguard was to try out a more efficient build and Charge everything in the early and mid game.

I've played the other classes once, and unless someone posts something extraordinary like Sinosleep's early game Charge, I don't plan on playing anything else but the Infiltrator(thats my main). All of the classes(aside from Adept) are very unique and fun in their own right if you play to their strengths. That's also why I pick up the Claymore, rather than the AR or SR, on my Vanguard.

Yeah it can be weird going back to other classes after playing the vanguard. I've made an infiltrator, adept, and engineer since my vanguard but the engineer is the one that's stuck out as the most fun so far. Drone allows me to get in close the the smg like I used to do with the shotty. Not as fast, but it's still fun

Looks like we have a similar problem.

Awesome. Playing as vanguards has irreversibly changed us.

You should see it again once 720p is up.  Still processing.  Love me some up close and personal, and of course: Cryo.

Your Engineer is kicking ass too.  As soon as I saw the vid, I knew it wasn't just me...  it's a sickness.  But an awesome one.

You really should chronicle some of the cooler missions for us and post them.

Well, it seems to me like all the attempts to play Engineer/Infiltrator/Sentinel as a up-close-and-personal class have one big flaw - it is not nearly as effective as Vanguard, and for me, it is boring. I did complete the game with all classes but Engineer (cannot get myself to play that class anymore), but only Vanguard made me play NG+.
I guess I am too sick lol :sick:

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but awesome none the less. 



Can anyone explain how this is possible? Mod probably?
