[quote name='The Crotch']My memory of that specific situation is somewhat... spotty. So, general "YMIRs are cunts" advice follows.
1: Keep your squadmates the
away from you. This goes heavily for scions and the collector general as well, albeit for slightly different reasons.
2: Retreat paths. Have them. Know when to use them. Order both squadmates to run down the retreat path, then get moving, then assign them cover, then take cover. Repeat as often as needed.
3: I vaguely... vaguely recall Garrus' loyalty mission having an unflankable high-ground position. Turn around and run to it with your squadmates (again, make sure you're throwing them in the general direction before you start running; you can give them cover when you get close) as soon as they spawn in, and take your time. Unless I'm thinking of totally the wrong situation, the bit of cover on that platform is unassailable. If you're still dying, you're probably just being too aggressive.[/QUOTE]
It's at the very end when Harkin's mouthing off and he drops the two YMIRs -- the platform you come in on raises up so you can't get back to where you were you were, which is where I would go -- they come down the ramp and there's very little cover. It's a giant pain in the balls. Collector beam didn't help, sniping doesn't help -- at one point I had it down to just me vs. the two of them, but 1 was almost dead and I was AI Hacking him... since then, it's just a massacre over and over though.
Edit: I took another look for the high perch and found the one you were remembering -- those platforms are always tricky to see which ones you can actually climb by doing the in cover/over cover technique. I was trying to get up there before but was trying the wrong approach. Got it first try once I got up there.
you Harkin -- you're lucky I don't let paragon actions go to waste... cause I was really feeling the idea of letting Garrus kneecap your punk ass. ^_^
