The object of Survival is to stay alive as long as possible, either by staying on the move and avoiding enemies, or by finding cover and using strong squadmates to keep killing. Survival Environments: Tropical, Volcanic, and Subterranean Stay down near the bunkers and kill them at long range with biotic attacks. In the Volcanic landscape (difficult), do not allow the enemies to lure you up the ramp onto the catwalk. Moving enemies does not help as much as direct killing does here so you may want to equip rapid fire weapons like assault rifles and pistols. Ideally, you want to find a good location of your own with a good line of sight on a "spawn spot" and simply keep killing enemies as they appear. Targets will "spawn" from unmarked spots as long as the player is not too close to that spot. In order to gain more time you must kill targets. You will start with only a few seconds on the clock. Hunt Environments: Subterranean, Volcanic, and Tropical Keep your eye on the clock and get moving as soon as the flag point is captured. If enemies enter the circle (even if you or your squad moved them into it) the capture of that point will take longer and may even be reset completely. If you are able to keep all enemies out of the circle, this takes 20 seconds. As long as you keep at least part of Shepard's body in the circle, you will continue capturing the point. A meter will appear along with an "area circle" once you get close enough to start capturing a point. As you bulldoze through existing high scores, an extra environment becomes available for all scenarios.Ĭapture Environments: Tropical, Volcanic, and SubterraneanĪs the name implies, you must capture certain points. You must beat all eight of Vidinos' records to help Bryant.Įach scenario has two starting environments. You can offer to help by proving Bryant did not cheat by beating the records yourself. Vidinos is threatening to put Bryant in prison for cheating. On your first time breaking a high score in any one of the simulations, you will get the New Sheriff in Town achievement and when you exit the simulator, you will find Vidinos arguing with a human named Lieutenant Bryant about his records having been broken. Vidinos Main article: Pinnacle Station: Vidinos Using biotic attacks to accelerate kills as much as possible is a good way to extend and shorten the time appropriately.

The time is tight enough that it will be difficult to shoot your way through it. You will need to do this to complete the missions. Most can be instantly killed with an aggressive biotic attack if the force is strong enough (high enough skill + good biotic amp). Inorganic distinctions are recognized, and the targets will respond appropriately to your ammo choice. This is handy, since if you change your upgrades or ammo, the change won't be lost if you 'die'.
