Have you tried leaving the Cryo on the Viper?  Test it out sometime and see what you think.  Both videos are great by the way.

That mission makes me angry sometimes.



I hate how I can't charge at the geth beside the hubs even though they're standing right there I have to shoot them first and THEN I can charge. Annoying.



The waves of geth at the end were irritating too. Those turrets don't help at all...

Near the end of this video I get a really bad charge bug but I am luckily able to recover with a medikit.

You went Champion for the cooldown reduction, I'm assuming.

I apologize if I've already asked you this Sabresandiego, but do you go with the squad or heavy version of teammate ammo powers? If you're planning on taking Squad Cryo on yourself, what is the best option? I can see giving Grunt Inferno Ammo because you already have it but what do you do with Zaeed's Disruptor Ammo?

Pull is a very good ability and has multiple uses. The problem is that even one point in pull requires me to drop squad cryo and also invest 3 points in the worthless ability shockwave.

Shockwave proves it's usefullness on missions like the Reaper IFF. Far better to use inferno grenade and other abilities to take down the husks armor, then use shockwave to obliterate all of them at once then to risk doing something dumb like charging at one of them only to find yourself surrounded and getting smacked around.

You may have noticed that shockwave knocks enemies out of cover, and that's incredibly useful when you are unable to reach an enemy with charge.

A well-written and comprehensive guide!



I downed another Dr. Pepper to pick up the visor. Thanks for the tip.



I also think my play style might have me picking up assault rifle training instead of the Claymore. And since I'm on Hardcore, my main reasoning for this can be summed up in 3 words: Geth Pulse Rifle.

it depends on the squadmate, but since I use squad cryo from myself I usually dont bring teamates with ammo powers.

By Insanity+ you mean you started NG+ on Insanity, right? Good vid, too bad the Colossus charge in the end did not work for you.

That was awesome, although the Colossus fight was a bit anti-climactic.  But you tore the crap out of everyone else, and with style.

I wanted to charge the Colossus right from the start but charge bugged out, so I decided to just use the new Arc Projector on him for fun.

Added Moridin Recruitment video. This is one of the early missions on level 30 NG+ Insanity. You can see how I approach the added difficulty of Insanity NG+ early game by using combined arms and making good use of cover. A single bullet removes my shields, and shotgun ammo is also very limited. In this video I use pretty much every ability from charge to reave, shotgun, sniper, submachine gun, and also make good use of cover.

You are on Infiltrator kind of pace through that area. I reckon you can shave about 20 to 30 seconds off that time if you ignore the 2x mercs and just go up the stairs like at 1:50 here:
www.youtube.com/watch

If you are quick you can catch both pyros on the right side of the tank and Viper them down. The mercs draw fire and by the time you have cleared the first wave of Vorcha they are either dead or nearly dead and you didn't have to do anything.

I've been screaming through regular Insanity as a Vanguard and its way easy compared to Infiltrator on Insanity+. So I can't wait to get to Insanity+ on the Vanguard and start making some more movies. Hrmmm. :D

From the Infiltrator Insanity+ run, I reckon the fastest times are more about finding the right cover, picking the right battles and using squadmates effectively more than anything else. After that the next most important bit is your upgrade path through the game. Tthis time round on the Vanguard I was 4/5 or 5/5 biotic damage before hitting up Collector Ship so Reave was a beast. On the Infiltrator I was 3/5 biotic damage on the same area and couldn't strip barriers in a single Reave. Cue twice as many Harbinger spawns which made the platforms horrible.

The moridin video wasnt for speed, it was just showing a smart way to get through the area without having to reload multiple times. Your suggestions would probably make the run faster however.

Ok. Still, speed is nothing if you have to reload 20 million times to get the perfect take. That route is also safer since the Vorcha are shooting at stuff that isn't you. It doesn't happen often but whenever theres a crossfire I find its always nice to just let em go at it and you can work away on the side that has the most troops. Especially on Insanity+ where bullets err, hurt. Alot.

Going up the stairs and letting the vorcha kill the mercs would definitely be faster. If I were to refilm this area I would definitely do that. I was just filming a casual play video where I am going through the level as I would if I wasnt recording at all. I always play at high speed but am also focused in playing tactically with minimal health damage and deaths. I could make another video where I am charge happy, or run a more optimized route, but I feel that it would be misleading to how I would approach Insanity+ early game with the vanguard when I have 0 upgrades if Im going for a minimal death playthrough.
