Colonist (enemy)

Brainwashed colonists are the colonists of Zhu's Hope that have fallen victim to the mind

control of the Thorian.

Overview
When returning from the ExoGeni building, Shepard encounters thorian creepers. Once the creeper is neutralized, Shepard has a choice between equipping his grenades with the anti

Thorian upgrade or directing the squad to open fire on the colonists.

Tactics
Colonists have low shields and standard weapons. They heavily utilize cover and rarely leave their cover. If you choose to use the anti thorian gas, throw the grenade at the floor or the walls behind the colonists and detonate it to knock them out. If you choose to kill them, simply lower their shields and finish them off while staying in cover.
