Insanity help

Cobra RPG, FTW. With any other weapon the bosses/heavies just take too long to kill on insanity.

Otherwise, I use a Sandstorm for mooks. Pirahna for close work. Valiant for when the Sandstorm won't cut it. I try to go for headshots mostly. My skills are Energy Drain, to restore my shields and detonate combos, Turbocharge, Tactical Cloak. I fire my skills off 1, 2, 3, and shoot for 2 seconds all done by a macro. I usually use incendiary ammo to prime for fire combo.

Piranha shotgun with bio converter and seeker plasma system augmentations.

For powers, use charge, cloak and turbocharge. Turbocharge increases rate of fire and weapon damage

I used the deadeye armor for added weapon damage and headshot damage. I used kinetic coil augmentation for the chest to increase damage resistance. For helmet, legs and arms I used what would increase my shields and weapon damage.

For melee weapon I used kett Varkash. Not only does it have melee damage, but burn damage as well. Plus it has 5 augmentations slots which I filled up with kinetic coil to give me an extra 15% weapon damage for the shotgun

For squadmates, I used Cora and Drack

theres absolutely no point taking both Charge 75% and the 50% speed, you get wayyyy enough speed with one or the other, noth both. could just take 50% mod and use the Shock Troop instead that is much more valuable.

@op I'm playing with your setup and only use 2 pistols and one SMG as backup. I have no problems whatsoever, even though my companions go down pretty quickly. I'm practically soloing most of the time. Just use cover and keep yourself on your toes. Do not stop moving and pick them off one by one. Start with the weakest enemies to quickly reduce incoming damage by taking out unshielded grunts.

It's not a difficulty issue; just want to cut down the time per fight. They can be tedious; especially ascendants.
