Is Firewalker a lot easier now?

That was never a part of Firewalker... you're thinking of Overlord.

Couldn't say for sure but the Hammerhead seemed a *lot* more durable now.

So it would still crumble while slightly touching a wall.

I thought I read that somewhere that they did make the shields on the Hammerhead a little stronger.  It's possible, I never cam even close to being on fire while doing Firewalker in LE, but I don't have much trouble avoiding that in the old game either.  I don't remember ever being set on fire by the geth cannon in the old game Overlord though.  It was more a case of either I blew up right away or got away without damage.

I'm new to the series but old enough to remember when each game was released.  I've never played the original ME2, but I found the Firewalker quest to be easy.  There was a bit of platforming with the lava, but it was super easy.

Yeah the Grth cannon hasalways been an instakill on me even on the old game. It's one of the main reasons why I used cheats against it as I cdfouldn't figuer out a way to beat it and until my most recent playthrough's I hadn'tBu tthen I came up wit ha plan that I thought that might work for me and it did. It took me a couple of attempts on the original t opull it off but it worked. I ttook a fwe moer attempts on the remaster as I think the cannon on the LE is slightly quicker but I eventually nailed it there too.

Basicall yit' skind of similar to how I handle the Architects in MEA reall yjus tstay on the move and just let a few shots off here and there at it's pylons till they'e rdown and then just mov from side by side and letting off a fwe blasts at the cannon itself. Only tricky par ti syo udo hav et obe caerful when going near the left du eto the fact you are on a cliff edge whereas at leas ton the right there's a wall there s oit doesn't matte rquie ts omuch if you overshoot when dodging. But yeah my reaction times hav enever been fas t thanks to my disability which is why I've always struggled a lot wit hthe Geth cannon and gaveup and used cheats on the old game. Bu tthe tricvk I'v developed for dealing with MEA's architects seems to work against the geth cannon at least for me.
