ME2 (Sentinel/Insanity): Part 27 - Reaper IFF

Upgrades, armor, and mods listed below. The fourth mission directly connected to the main plot i.e., collectors. After visiting a 'dead' collector ship, this time, it's time to head inside a dead reaper. The design of the ship interior is excellent - not as creepy as the collector ship, but still excellent. The video logs on the computers suggesting the slow indoctrination of the Cerberus research team is done very well. I find the actual design of the IFF pretty silly looking but I guess it doesn't matter. The combat in this mission, while not the toughest, is probably the most punishing if not prepared, especially the last section. Samara and Mordin are probably the best squadmates. I respecced my Shepard's powers to take throw field since ragdolling husks without armor instakills them. Reaching level 30 was a slight issue since Samara's area reave cannot strip husk armor on insanity at level 30. I did think about bringing cain for the reaper core section but I want to do this playthrough without using heavy weapons. Also, I respecced Mordin's powers on the shadow broker ship. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SHEP'S UPGRADES: SMG (x5), Tech damage (x5), Shotgun (x5), Pistol (x5), Damage Protection (x6), Biotic damage (x5), Heavy Skin Weave (x4), Tech duration, Tech Cooldown, SMG Shield Piercing, SMG Extra rounds, Shotgun Shield Piercing, Shotgun Extra rounds, Redundant field generator, Hard Shields, Heavy bone weave, Heavy muscle weave, Pistol Armor piercing, Pistol critical ARMOR: Kuwashii Visor (+10% headshot), Aegis Vest (+5% health), Strength Boost Pads (+25%melee), Kestrel Arm Sheathing (+3% weapon dmg, +3% shields, +10% melee), Stimulator Conduits (+10% storm speed) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GAMEPLAY AND TEXTURE MODS GAMEPLAY MODS: No minigames & one probe planet scan, Unlimited sprinting out of combat, Modern weapon pack (Used solely to get rid of the heavy weapon on the back) TEXTURE MODS: A lot of textures, A lot of videos, MEUITM, "Eve" face, Red-colored tech armor, More armor colors & casual outfits All mods from https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffect2/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0:00 Squad and powers 1:20 Ingress 4:32 Enemy contact 8:59 Talking Geth 15:38 Final stretch 17:50 Reaper Core 23:02 Normandy debrief 25:03 Legion
