Collector Ship

Mass Effect 2 (Legendary Edition) guide · After Horizon

Shepard and squad board a disabled Collector cruiser to search for technical data and a way to navigate the Omega 4 Relay safely. Once inside the central terminal, EDI discovers the derelict condition is an ambush set by the Collectors. You must fight your way back out against waves of Collector forces and Praetorians before the ship's systems crush the Normandy's shuttle.

Tips

On the floating platform ambush, focus down the Scion or possessed Collector as fast as possible to avoid being overwhelmed by area-of-effect stagger attacks.
When fighting the Praetorian, constantly rotate around the central structural columns backwards to maintain distance and break its line of sight during laser attacks.
Infiltrators and Soldiers should strongly consider taking the Widow sniper rifle at the weapon station, while Vanguards benefit greatly from the Claymore shotgun.
