Squad disrupter ammo is especially great, and despite what anyone says, cryo ammo, even at level 1, can buy you a lot of time. Aiming is no problem with a sniper rifle. Once you max out the Tactical Cloak (increased damage while cloaked) a rifle like Widow will do a lot of one shot head kills, and I wish I could remember the name of the one I have equipped now, because it goes through YMIR mechs like butter. I think it's a great class for Insanity, not having tried any others.

If your aim is good, I'd recommend the Claymore Shotgun for the Vanguard. It has a 1 round magazine but can do some serious damage :D

I love cryo ammo. It's awesome against enemies rushing towards you. If you have squad cryo, you can give your squadmates cryo and change yours to something else :D

The Claymore is a questionable choice if you have the Firepower Pack DLC. The Eviscerator Shotgun does almost as much damage, has longer range, a 3 shot clip, and a larger ammo capacity.

Because the only useful thing that I can see Infiltrator having is Cloaking and Sniper Rifle depending on the level it is. So far I've played through Insanity with an Adept, Soldier and Sentinel. I've played through on casual with everything else except Vanguard.

Cloaking is useful for getting out of bad situations quickly, but you can't heal while cloaked, so if you don't find somewhere really soon, then you're done for.

the Sniper Rifle is a very useful tool. But its useless on some missions, mainly dealing with Husks (Reaper IFF mission).

Bottom line, I'd rather have a class thats more well rounded than the Infiltrator when doing an Insanity run.

So do you just need to do side/loyalty missions to get other people to talk about their problems? I just did Miranda's but I want to do Thane's, Samara, and Garrus. I can't remember if it's after the Collector Ship or not. Just need to recruit Tali now. That should be fun.

I regards to loyalty and side missions:



Yes, you need to talk to people to get the missions. The Yeoman will tell you.

Hey, it's pretty insignificant, but there's this little assignment you get at Citadel.

why settle for "almost' when you can have the shotgun that deals the most damage. :D Range and ammo clip doesn't really matter for a Vanguard. You'll be using the shotgun at point blank range and you can reload and do a melee almost at the same time with the claymore.

I'd rather have a longer ranged attack like a sniper rifle than a mild upgrade in damage that you generally don't need. Have you even tried the Eviscerator? I assure you it kills guys dead just as fast as the Claymore, since the Claymore overkills a lot of weaker enemies.


There's nothing wrong with the Scimitar. It's very good against shields/barriers, but relatively weak against armor. I prefer the armor penetration of the Eviscerator personally, as enemies with only shields aren't much of a threat in general (particularly if you have Squad Disrupter Ammo). The Eviscerator deals almost twice as much damage as the Scimitar per shot, and more than that against armored targets. That's an impressive time savings without sacrificing as much magazine capacity like choosing the Claymore.

Now I'm wondering if I should kill

I chose Morinth first and then reloaded and chose Samara. Samare was also one of my favorite characters to talk to.

I tried the Eviscerator and didn't like it. I prefer the scimitar because it has a higher magazine load and a higher ROF which means I can shoot more targets at a faster rate. This comes in handy when I zig zag across the screen. At point blank it doesn't matter if you have shields, armor or barrier.
