Is Arrival a bad mission

[ShockerCyclone]

So I'm almost done i think, just the shadow broker and story stuff starting with the reaper IFF but i decided to finish off all my loose ends. Yesterdayy i started what turned out to be the Arrival DLC and i'm having a hard time with it. I kept dying while trying to protect kenson while she hacked the prison systems but managed to get though it today. i was havning a hard time until i got to the end but where i have to get to an escape shuttle but was gunned down while trying to get to it.

Anyone else wondering if this was a poorly concived mission. i was thinking of doing a Playthough on Youtube but now i'm not so sure.

What class is your Shepard?
For my last playthrough (Adept), I used a combination of the Arc Projector heavy weapon and the Mattock rifle, while spamming Shepard's powers (in my case, Singularity, Warp to detonate the singularity, and Shockwave to clear a path when Shepard needed to lock down the door).

I'm using the same Shepherd I made in me 1. Soldier class. Rocket launcher heavy weapon. I primarily use that assault rifle that has a ton of shots like 80 per clip.

It's probably the only mission I ever had difficulty on, but yeah it is a bit harder. You don't have any of your squad to assist you like normal, so it takes some getting used to the fact that the enemies are all focus firing you. I'd recommend just playing around with it. It plays very different to the normal game, and it takes some getting used to.

Anyone else go renegade and shoot her. It's good to hear I'm not the only one who has trouble with this. It put me off my game. I restarted deus ex human revolution today and died so many times in the intro mission.

If you have any grenades available, use them. Light targets on fire with the Incendiary Ammo, then use Concussive Shot to detonate a tech explosion (also works with Cryo ammo).

I guess I'm almost done. I only did the last part once before I quit. It was really annoying just getting that far. Probably a bad idea to equip the kestrel gear for this mission.

Nah, the Kestrel gear is fine. Which extra power did you pick for your Soldier Shep? I find the Geth Shielding/Barrier/Armor ones to work pretty well with the Soldier. I've only done Arrival once with a Sentinel (+warp ammo), and despite a few close calls, I didn't die once. Oh, and I also went Renegade and shot her.

Finished it this morning. I'm doing the shadow broker mission now. I used inferno ammo for most of it but I totally forgot I had fortify. Finished it really quickly after I knew what to do.
