Guide to Mass Effect Legendary Edition's .3A.02. Awakening mission. Learn how to defeat Hacked Mechs, find loot, and progress through the facility.
Alright, let's get through this part of the game. This section is called '.3A.02. Awakening,' and it's all about clearing out some hacked mechs and grabbing any loot you can find. Don't worry, these guys are pretty slow and mostly serve as target practice for your new skills and weapons.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll start off needing to listen to some instructions and then take out the Hacked Mechs. They come in groups of about three, but they're slow, so use them to get a feel for your abilities.
- 2As you move through the facility, you'll find numerous logs that explain what's going on. Take your time to read them and grab any items; nothing is hidden too well.
- 3The mechs are often in a suspended state when you first encounter them, giving you a chance to hit them with some skills before they even start moving.
- 4The trickiest part is near the end, by the evacuation point. You'll take out two mechs on the lower floor. As you reach the top of the stairs, two more will activate, and a door will open with four more inside.
- 5To handle that final room, you can go to the right, using the boxes as cover. This keeps them at a distance. Use abilities like Overload and Pull to take them down as they approach. There are also two hackable items in this room that give you extra credits.
- 6Once you've cleared the area, you'll head to the evacuation shuttle and learn more about your current situation.
