.3F.01. Slums

Guide your way through the dangerous Slums in Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Learn enemy tactics, item locations, and crucial choices to make.

Alright, let's tackle the Slums in Mass Effect Legendary Edition. This area is crawling with Blue Suns and Blood Pack enemies, so be ready for a fight. We'll cover the enemies you'll face, the loot you can grab, and some important decisions you'll need to make.

Enemies You'll Face:

• Blue Suns Trooper (Shield)
• Blue Suns Legionnaire (Shield)
• Blood Pack Trooper (Armor)
• Blood Pack Pyro (Armor)

Items and Loot:

• Element Zero (250)
• Bank Terminal (5,000)
• Power Cells
• PDA (2,000 Credits) - if you let the Batarian Victim die
• Wall Safe (4,000 Credits)
• Circuit Boards (1,000 Credits)
• Modified Assault Rifle (Assault Rifle upgrade unlock)

Walkthrough:

When you first enter the Slums, you'll encounter a Batarian Victim. You have a choice here: you can talk to him and use a Paragon interrupt to help him out. If you do, he'll give you some valuable information and send you a thank you message later. Alternatively, you can offer to send help back later, or if you choose to let him die, you can loot a PDA from him for 2,000 Credits.

There's a western room where you can bypass a door to learn more about the plague, though it doesn't yield any extra items. Continue north past the Batarian Victim. You'll find a Batarian's Wall Safe (4,000 Credits) that you can loot if you bypass his door.

After you fight a group of three Blue Suns in Kokomo Plaza, head upstairs to grab 1,000 Credits. Then, make your way east into a human refugee apartment. Inside, you'll find another Wall Safe (4,000 Credits). You'll have a choice here: you can try to persuade the refugees to save themselves, or you can move on.

In the next area, you'll see some Blue Suns fighting a large group of Blood Pack. Your best bet is to head upstairs and snipe as many Blood Pack enemies as you can while the Blue Suns keep them busy. Remember, the Vorcha and Krogan in the Blood Pack have really strong regeneration, so you'll need to focus your fire on them to take them down effectively.

Pro-Tip: If you use the Overload power on a Pyro, they tend to explode quite violently, which can take out nearby enemies!

In a western apartment, you'll run into some Human Looters. You can try to convince them to stop looting, which will earn you some Morality points. If you don't, they'll just give you some information.

The next door you encounter leads into the clinic. Be prepared, as this is where things can get intense.
