Mass Effect Garrus Vakarian companion guide: stats, weapons, and powers including Concussive Shot, Overload, and Armor Piercing Ammo.

Stats:

  • HP: 245
  • Shield: 250
  • Weapon Damage: +25%
  • Power Damage: +25%
  • Ammo Damage: +50% armor/health

Weapons: Sniper Rifle, Assault Rifle

Powers:

  • Concussive Shot (Rank 2)
  • Area Overload (Rank 4)
  • Turian Renegade (Rank 4)
  • Armor Piercing Ammo (Rank 3)

Notes:

  • Overload is particularly effective against Shields, Synthetics, and enemies wielding heavy weapons. Garrus's passive ability also provides a damage bonus.
  • Armor Piercing Ammo significantly increases damage output.
  • Concussive Shot functions as an anti-Barrier attack, dealing average damage and capable of knocking down enemies without defenses.
  • For player characters (Shepards) who do not have access to or prefer not to use Ammo abilities, consider using Squad AP Ammo and a lower-ranked Overload. This strategy is most beneficial for Engineers, who are less likely to have squad ammo options and already possess sufficient anti-synthetic attacks.
Tips
  • Garrus is powerful against synthetic enemies due to his Overload ability and Armor Piercing Ammo.
  • Consider his strengths when building your squad, especially if you need effective anti-synthetic or anti-shield capabilities.
  • If your Shepard has an Engineer class, relying on Garrus for squad ammo and a lower-level Overload can be an efficient setup.
