Need Help with UNC Derelict Freighter (Caspian System, Maroon Sea Cluster)

Is it possible you're attempting it a too low level? I'm usually around L30 when I do this one.

I always use Liara, and make liberal use of Pull, Throw and Singularity coupled with Wrex, armed with a shotgun, who shines against husks and creepers due to his strong melee attacks and Throw. Take it very slowly, don't rush through the cargo area, keep retreating, and let them come to you rather than rushing in - If you get swarmed running back to the starting corridor is a very viable tactic.

Immunity was severely nerfed. The duration was cut to almost 1/4 of what it was. Definitely a blow to soldiers and you’ll likely find the game to be harder overall as a result.

I’d recommend bringing two biotic squadmates such as liara and kaidan, find a choke point, and spam singularity and lift as they filter through.

I know that this is likely to be an unpopular, minority opinion, but personally I kind-of like the immunity nerf

(ducks to avoid hurled pitchforks, burning brands, and cries of "BURN THE HERETIC")

I know it makes the game harder, but I personally think that soldiers were a bit too unkillable back in the vanilla game. Once you were appropriately geared, levelled, and had the right talent points you could effectively just treat the game as a run and gun affair where you could just barnstorm enemy bases and mow everything down with complete impunity.

Now with the Immunity nerf I have to be choosy about when and where I use it, saving it for deadly situations. I have to rely on squad powers far more, and play in a far more tactical/strategic manner. I'm also finding that grenades are playing a much bigger role in my game then they used to. Everything has it's purpose, and is useful somewhere down the line.

I'm finding the challenge fun too. Pro-tip. Get into the habit of 'mining' a dangerous area with a grenade before combat actually begins. Cryo explosives can be really useful here, if you time things well and detonate it just as a group is running toward you.

And, speaking of cryo - I've actually just discovered just how darned good Cryo Ammo is in an assault rifle. I always used to subscribe to the 'anti-personnel/armor-piercing' strategy and didn't bother with the other ammo types much,  but I'm finding that I love Cryo ammo which has excellent anti-shield power, and is also brilliant against fast-moving targets, especially things like Rachni and husks. I'm wondering if they've buffed it for the LE, as I honestly don't remember it being this good.

Snowblind, I find, works best for Sniper Rifles or very slow-firing shotguns, as it significantly slows down the firing speed of your weapon; so that basically any advantage you get from it not overheating is offset by the speed nerf. My sniper rifle is equipped with Snowblind, along with a Scram Rail and Rail Extension, so it does massive damage and doesn't overheat between shots, and the firing speed decrease doesn't matter. In short, Snowblind rounds increase damage, reduce overheating, but massively slow down firing speed.

My assault rifle has Cryo ammo, Frictionless Materials, and Kinetic Coil.

I don’t disagree that Immunity was OP in the original. But when the other OP classes are largely untouched - and in fact are arguably better thanks to free weapon proficiencies - the change feels out of whack. And the whopping 75% duration nerf feels like extreme overkill.

Avoiding the OP stuff to make the game harder was always an option. But now I’m having a seriously difficult time justifying a soldier playthrough from a mechanical standpoint. And it’s definitely weird that the class is now arguably squishier than adept.

Ultimately, it’s a tradeoff I’ll take for the other benefits the remaster offers. But I definitely think it was the wrong decision and wish they hadn’t made it.
