Mass Effect 2: Old School Vanguard - Singularity Vanguard/Shotgun Adept (by Arhka)

ATTENTION: This guide was originally posted by Arhka on the old BioWare Social Network (BSN) forums. I am copying it here so it does not disappear when the old BSN shuts down.


My attempt in reproducing the Vanguard w/ Singularity from Mass Effect 1, into the new abilities of Mass Effect 2. It worked better than I thought it would, and even though it's played a little bit differently from the ME1 Vanguard, it's core purpose is still the same. Get in close, take punishment, and deal it right back with a shotgun to the face. If anyone wants the build ,I'll post it as well.
