I felt this strategy was universal; thats why I'm posting outside of my adept guide thread.

13 crates saved. Level 14 adept. No nuke. No special builds. About 3 minutes. I kill the first mech in 9 seconds. I'll detail my strategy here, because the video isn't long enough.

Save the Crates!

1) I use the grenade launcher because it has the fastest DPS of all the heavy weapons. I don't care about total power, I want overwhelming power on 1 target because I'm only going to have enough rounds to take down one.

2) Miranda and Zaeed: I need Miranda for her essentially burst damage effect on shields and armor, and for the SMG and Heavy Pistol, both of which I use. Zaeed's squad disruptor ammo is the core of my ability to kill so quickly especially when shields are down, but at least a point in concussive shot is necessary to drop the mech to its knees once the armor is gone.

3) Mechs: They will only attack you if you are not under fire yourself. That means don't even bother trying to kill more than one at a time. Overwhelm each one before moving on to the next. What you want isn't to necessarily kill the mechs as fast as possible, but to have them stop shooting at the crates and start shooting at shepard. Killing the mechs quickly is a means to an end.

Anyway I think this is a youtube record for now, so go out there and beat it! And give me any feedback you like, I really appreciate it.

Gatsby i wanted to let you know you're my hero and may have even swayed me to play an Adept for my Insanity playthru. I played one on normal and am doing infiltrator on hardcore atm. I hadn't decided on my insanity playthru class. Thank you for all your vids and help.

Why not only nuke them to Oblivion?

[Divine Flame]

Does the nuke explosion not effect the crates breaking?

[llinsane1ll]

Nice video man hopefully works for me. I had to skip that damn place because it was literally impossible

[BeyondFX]

You sir, are awesome. After watching the biotic combo vid I think I may seriously try an adept. I could never get into them in the first game, but they look much more interesting this time around



One question for this mission though is does the nuke instantly kill them on insanity? I know I got all 20 on veteran for my first playthrough using it. Took out the first 2 instantly then grabbed the attention of the last before it destroyed any

[Shvabic]

No, the nuke explosion doesn't destroy the crates. I oneshotted 2 mechs at once on Veteran and mowed the third down conventionally.



I guess the Cain oneshots YMIR mechs on Insanity too. Since I'm finally done with my exams I can devote myself to my Insanity playthrough again. Good times ahead

The nuke doesn't 1-shot them on insanity. At most, it took out their shields and part of their armor.

[Divine Flame]

So that would make the nuke less efficient than this method cause you would have to take the time to charge it only to watch as the Mech didn't get 1 shot.

Double heavy overload plus AP sniper worked well for me. I saved 12 iirc. Also you click from the menu a lot.

[CShepard]

Good video You're a good player, not like me.

[BewareTheDrow]

Yeah I just stick to using the Cain.



1. Get off shuttle

2. Whip out Cain

3. Walk forward 5 feet, turn left, fire cain

4. Collect reward for 20 intact crates

Actually it does.  On my Insanity playthrough I was using a Sentinel and the Cain cleared all three YMIRs with a single shot.  It has been the only time I have had all 20 of 20 crates remaining.

Except Cain doesn't kill YMIR Mechs on Insanity.  Depending on where you hit it, it will still have 1/4 to 2/3 armor left and full health.

AG, you are a scholar and a saint.

Direct shot into their vents?  I hear they're no bigger than a Womp Rat.

What can I say, it worked.  I do know that if you destroy a YMIR with a headshot it will explode with a nuke-like explosion.  As I said I managed to do it on my very first attempt on Insanity so I did not try to replicate the results.  My friend tried the other day and was unable to do it however.  All I know is that there have been no patches or changes made since I played the game so it is possible.  I did have Miranda in the party so perhaps that played a part.

[Atmosfear3]

Cain may or may not kill the Mechs in one shot on insanity. I know on my lvl 30 import Infiltrator I couldn't even kill Scions in 1 shot, it usually just left them very hurt which I could finish off in 1 Widow shot.  Level scaling may have an effect on enemy health depending on level.

I was actually going to test that encounter out by bring Tali and Garrus along. I planned on bring one down to health and then hack it so it fights for me! I suspect I won't save very many crates but it will be worth it for the lulz.

Nice video, i have saved 14 or 15 crates i think with my infiltrator using nuke on insanity. Had Thane instead of Zaeed (for the extra warp) and was using disrupter ammo myself. I was level 20 or something.
