Turret[]
I had the turret in the first part of this quest bug out - it wouldn't shoot at me, nor could I destroy it (I was tempted to walk away to make a sandwich and just let Garrus and Liara deal with it after we'd been going at it for 5 minutes). A reload of the autosave at the beginning of the mission cleared it up, though. Anyone else have this happen? 68.107.97.136 04:11, March 19, 2012 (UTC)

It appears to me that this mission has certain progress flags that have to be achieved to progress forward. In my second playthrough on a suicidal vanguard, I charged that turret and was unceremoniously gunned down when it wouldn't take any damage. On my second try, I just attacked the troopers and the turret disappeared. It would seem to me that that turret exists to kill the civilian and then it will go away.
Additionally, I fought waay more that 3 waves of troopers before the civilians would move from near the last building to the shuttle. As it became ridiculously obvious that they were spawning ad infinitum, I had to back track. When I entered the only building I hadn't entered, I got the experience message and the mission was over.
The only advice I can give is to not rush the fights, and work building to building in a counter-clockwise progression. It's not a hard mission, but it was starting to play like MP with the non-stop spawns.--Rtrnofdmax 16:22, May 17, 2012 (UTC)
Page Clean-up[]
I'm in the process of adding a more detailed description of finding items throughout this map. While I'm revising the text already there, I think the entire Items section should be replaced with a simple bullet list of building numbers and locations and the items that are inside or nearby. But as it stands now the guide is okay but verbose. Some TLC needed. --Ayumix 14:31, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
- That item section actually needs to be complete reformatted and removed. Items should be integerated into the walkthrough, not in a seperate list. Lancer1289 14:40, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
- I made a first pass at doing just that. Revise as needed. --Ayumix 16:13, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
Save-reload skipping stage...[]
I'm playing on X360 and when I saved in between the 2 stages of enemies the loaded it skipped to the 2nd stage (I.e., I was thrown into combat as if I talked to the civilians ducking by the cars.) I've played through on my ps3 a few times but I don't ever remember this happening. Can anyone confirm before addinng to main page? Djdelirius (talk) 10:04, September 6, 2012 (UTC)
Recent edits (directions to systems & 'compass')[]
re: point 1, there's inconsistency on other pages then as I've seen star system directions under Preparation (and I don't really see that much of a problem with that either, "flying to the mission" = "pre mission")
re: compass - are you referring to the Navigational Aid? Afaik that's just a pointer, not a "compass" that uses actual cardinal directions. Calling the direction of the pointer "north" is misleading as it changes based on where the current objective is, but Cardinal Directions are set based on geography. Perhaps this varies in other versions of the game besides PC, I wouldn't know. Either way, unless "north, south, east, west" actually appear in-game I don't favor using them especially as we're talking about alien planets here. Left, right, ahead, behead based on a point of orientation is easiest when needed. Neo89515 (talk) 16:46, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
- Something that makes it even more obvious as to why cardinal directions aren't a good idea in general but specifically on this mission is there is actually a sun in the sky on this map, in the sky towards the LZ (it's even in one of the images on this page). However, that's STILL no help, because there is no real clue as to what time of day it even is -- it could be morning, it could be evening, so the "sun" could be in the west, or it could be in the east, depending. So there's double the amount of confusion possible for people who want to try and interpret what "north, south, east, west" mean here. Best not to encourage this.
