You’ll have one more chance to adjust your teammates for the final stretch (or ‘suicide mission’ as some may call it), so pick them wisely. Speak to as many of your crew as you can during this brief respite. You can also head to the communications tech guy in the building just before the rubble you walk up and you can speak to several other characters here too. You’ll regain control of Shepard when he’s inside the Alliance FOB, so take this time to speak to each of the characters that are still alive in your team - each of them will earn you reputation points and there’s an additional bonus scene for when you speak to your ‘love interest’ during this section. When the coast is clear, restock up on ammo and then pick up the M-920 Cain rocket launcher, aim it at the Reaper and BAM! Fireworks! One Final Pep Talk ¶

Ideally keep your squad a little spread out so you can get some crossfire on any distracted enemies.

There’s a Ravager, multiple Marauders and Cannibals, so work your way from the strongest down to the weakest. Use the fallen pillars for cover and your main enemies will come from the right side near the shuttle. Head up to the building with the rubble leading to the roof, and get ready for another Reaper-packed encounter. A couple of Brutes will also show up near the shops, so staying over on the left buys you additional time to deal them damage before they get too close for comfort. Stick to the left and use the ammo and cover here to keep the pressure up on the Marauders and the Cannibals. Later, pick up the Cain (right) and launch it at the Reaper.

Marauders and Cannibals will be swarming your position so make use of that Cryo ammo-enhancement (left).
