Complete the Base Camp mission in Mass Effect Legendary Edition, including defeating the Geth Colossus and finding items like the Disassembled Geth Rifle.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After opening the door, you will face a large contingent of Geth Recon Drones and a Geth Prime.
  2. 2
    The drones explode easily with Overload or a few shots. The Prime is tough but can be lured around.
  3. 3
    Another barrage of drones follows, then another combination of drones and a Geth Prime.
  4. 4
    Stay in cover (a defensive position to block enemy fire) and use Overload on the drones, then focus on the Prime.
  5. 5
    More drones appear after defeating the second Prime. Continue moving north along the east side.
  6. 6
    Unlock the security to reach the final area with a Geth Colossus.
  7. 7
    Move down to Kal. You cannot defeat the Colossus from range as it repairs itself.
  8. 8
    Kal will explain possible attack paths. You can use a Paragon interrupt to stop him from helping, but he should survive either way.
  9. 9
    On Hardcore or Insanity difficulties, the Colossus has high health and quickly completes repairs, regaining shields at 50% damage.
  10. 10
    Choose the left or right route for attack, as the Colossus's shots can deal significant damage.
  11. 11
    After clearing Geth Troopers in the central area, proceed to your chosen path.
  12. 12
    Take cover and clear the bridge, then advance again when it is clear.
  13. 13
    Geth will pour from the building behind the Colossus.
  14. 14
    Defeat the Colossus and any remaining Geth to open the door.
