Guide to Mass Effect 2 Collector Station: Valves. Select a tech specialist for vents and a Fire Team Leader, then release six valves while fighting Husks, Abominations, Drones, and Harbinger.

  • Vent specialist: Legion, Tali
  • Fire Team Leader: Jacob, Miranda, Garrus
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon entering, select a tech specialist (Legion or Tali) to go through the vents and a Fire Team Leader (Jacob, Miranda, or Garrus). Since there are no synthetic enemies, your choice of engineer for the vents won't impact the team.
  2. 2
    Fight through the enemies to activate the valves. In the first area, destroy the approximately six drones on the northeast side. Release the first valve. You do not need to kill all enemies before releasing valves.
  3. 3
    As you proceed, groups of three drones, with one morphing into Harbinger, will block your path. Release the second and third valves, using cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) (a defensive position to block incoming fire) when necessary.
  4. 4
    There are no enemies on the way to the fourth valve; sprint often to keep your specialist's health high.
  5. 5
    For the fifth valve, a large number of drones will block your path. If your specialist reaches half health, prioritize releasing the valve and deal with remaining Collectors afterward.
  6. 6
    There are no enemies on the way to the sixth valve. As you turn the corner, you will face three drones; be patient and do not rush ahead.
  7. 7
    After the three drones, an Assassin will appear to the east. Kill the Assassin, then get into cover and regenerate some health. You can go straight for the final valve without killing the remaining enemies.
  8. 8
    If everything is done correctly, everyone will be alright.
Tips
  • You do not have to kill all enemies before releasing the valves.
  • You can sprint often to try to keep your specialist's health high on the way to the fourth valve.
  • If your specialist reaches half health before the fifth valve, prioritize releasing the valve and deal with remaining Collectors afterward.
  • You do not have to kill the remaining enemies after the Assassin; you can go straight for the final valve.
