This doesn't mean you should also customize their loadouts-they'll simply be using the game's usual default weapons. The ability to create Tech Bursts will wreak havoc among the many shielded CAT6 enemies, and the source powers for priming them ( Overload, Energy Drain, Sabotage) will remove the shields from the Heavies as well.Īs this is an all-hands-on-deck op, the squadmates you didn't pick (plus Cortez and Brooks) will be helping with fire support from areas inaccessible to you. The various weapons/upgrades that 'penetrate thin cover' will prove useful. In terms of squad planning you should expect to see a LOT of shielding and also some heavily armored targets. Be sure to check your weapons loadout as the game will have cleared your normal equipment selections.
This will be your first chance to confront CAT6 with your own choice of weapons and squadmates, not to mention wearing your armor.
