Background

You can learn about Daratar in two ways: from Aria on Omega, once you've completed a pair of assignments for her, or from simply scanning the planet. Either way, you'll receive the assignment "Eclipse Smuggling Depot," and you'll learn that Eclipse has a smuggling base at Daratar, and that they'd rather destroy their illicit cargo than let it fall into Cerberus' hands.


Walkthrough

When you land on the planet, you'll encounter three heavy mechs in there different parts of the depot. The mechs will attempt to destroy 20 crates of cargo before you can destroy them. Obviously, you should think about taking tech companions like Miranda and Garrus with you, since they'll be able to Overload the mechs. If you have the Zaeed DLC installed, then you might want to try him instead, and take advantage of his Disruptor Ammo. But regardless, you should plan on using one of your heavy weapons, since it will allow you to kill the mechs as quickly as possible.

Note: If you have the M-920 Cain, then you can sometimes use it to take out two mechs with one shot.

Each pair of crates you save will only reward you with 375 credits, so if the assignment is giving you a headache, there isn't much reason to try it over and over again in an attempt to save all of the crates, unless you just want to be a perfectionist. Our best score is 18/20. You can also access some power cells, medi-gel, and Element Zero at the depot.
