Learn how to tackle the Blood Pack Base mission in Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Get tips on enemy defenses, item locations, and strategies for defeating Kalusk and his crew.
Alright, let's get this Blood Pack Base sorted out in Mass Effect Legendary Edition. This mission pops up on your galaxy map as 'Destroy Blood Pack Base' and is located in the Shrike Abyssal, within the Xe Cha system on the planet Zada Ban. Pro tip: completing the Blood Pack Relay will automatically mark the base for you, so keep that in mind!
You're going to be up against enemies with both Armor and Shields, so bring a squadmate who can deal with both. The main baddies here are Blood Pack Troopers, Boom-Squads (watch out for those missiles!), and Pyros. You'll also face Kalusk, who has both Shield and Armor, so he's a tough one.
Before we dive into the action, you can grab some Palladium: 600 units here, another 600 units there, and then a final 800 units. Every bit counts, right?
- 1Head down and around the ramp. As you get to some crates, you'll have a Vorcha firing at you from above, and four more will join from below. You can either take out the ones above first, then move down for a better shot, or just find cover behind the first crate and snipe or use powers on them.
- 2Once they're dealt with, follow the narrow ledge heading west towards your objective. Right in front of you, two Vorcha will pop out. Another one will appear from the south, and two more from the north. Those two from the north include a Boom-Squad, so be ready for their missiles. Don't worry, you're safe from your current position, so take them down and then make your way to the door.
- 3In this next area, you'll face three Blood Pack enemies plus the main boss, Kalusk. There's another Boom-Squad here too. If you can't take out the regular Blood Pack quickly, it's probably best to hang back near the door and focus your fire on Kalusk. This way, the other enemies won't be able to hit you as effectively.
- 4After you've defeated all the enemies, you need to destroy the four Containment Cells surrounding the energy source. Once that's done, just make your way to the door to wrap up the mission.
- You'll unlock a Heavy Weapons Ammo upgrade for completing this mission.
