Tips
  • The choice of systems to probe for Scourge data does not matter, as long as you probe three.
  • The Phalanx pistol and Omni-Blade provided to Ryder's sibling are basic but sufficient for the encounters.
  • When fighting Kett on the Nexus, it's often better to bypass them and focus on reaching the objective rather than wasting ammo.
  • The Nomad section on Meridian is a linear drive; focus on reaching the objective.
  • XP for probing Scourge clusters and completing objectives.
  • Progression to the final battle for Meridian.
