Blue Suns Heavy

Blue Suns Heavies are troops deployed in a squad support role by the Blue Suns mercenary organization. They are mostly human with a few batarians, equipped with ML-77 missile launchers. Their role is to inflict heavy damage on opponents while keeping them suppressed.

Heavies do not have shields on normal but gain them on higher difficulties, making them a more durable opponent. They will generally stay as far away from opponents as possible, continually launching missiles. If players are out of cover, they are capable of killing quickly as their missiles rarely miss, even on lower difficulties. On higher difficulties, their fire rate increases considerably, meaning they must be dealt with or other troop types will advance and kill the player and squad.

The best way to deal with heavies is a sniper rifle. Squad members such as Garrus, Thane, and Zaeed can handle this if the player doesn't have sniper rifle training. Alternatively, concentrating powers on heavies will also stop them from constantly bombarding the player, as well as potentially knocking them out of cover. If none of these options are possible, concentrating fire on them is still effective; timing when to shoot and ceasefire is crucial, especially on hardcore and insanity.
