Weapons: Sniper Rifle, Assault Rifle
Powers:
- Concussive Shot (Rank 2)
- Area Overload (Rank 4)
- Turian Renegade (Rank 4)
- Armor Piercing Ammo (Rank 3)
Notes:
- Overload is particularly effective against Shields, Synthetics, and enemies wielding heavy weapons. Garrus's passive ability also provides a damage bonus.
- Armor Piercing Ammo significantly increases damage output.
- Concussive Shot functions as an anti-Barrier attack, dealing average damage and capable of knocking down enemies without defenses.
- For player characters (Shepards) who do not have access to or prefer not to use Ammo abilities, consider using Squad AP Ammo and a lower-ranked Overload. This strategy is most beneficial for Engineers, who are less likely to have squad ammo options and already possess sufficient anti-synthetic attacks.
Tips
- Garrus is powerful against synthetic enemies due to his Overload ability and Armor Piercing Ammo.
- Consider his strengths when building your squad, especially if you need effective anti-synthetic or anti-shield capabilities.
- If your Shepard has an Engineer class, relying on Garrus for squad ammo and a lower-level Overload can be an efficient setup.
