How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Void
I planned a new strategy knowing that the Mark of the Void was more powerful than ever. My squad was composed of 3 Sniper/Infiltrators, 1 Assault/Sniper, 2 Heavy/Snipers, 2 Priest/Snipers and 1 Technician/Assault. All sniper trained were equipped with Gungnir SR-2’s. The Sniper/Infiltrators also had Arachni SP I’s. The plan was to clear out the first chamber, move up and take out the Explosive Abdomen Chirons. All with the aim to use Spider Drones to move forward into the final chamber, while keeping everyone out of the range of the Mark of the Void.
I never got a chance to test my theory. Will the spider drones make the boss open his protective shell and allow my snipers to take their shots? As it turned out, the shell would open even before I could send in my drones. I was able to start taking shots just as I entered the second chamber. Combining Mark of Death and Quick Aim I was able to finish the mission without a scratch from the Mark of the Void. Moving my way forward ever closer to the final chamber.
