**These are some hints to achieve the tropical hunt in Insanity difficulty setting.**

In my opinion and many others', the tropical hunt is the most difficult mission of the dlc, especially in insanity. I spent almost 2 hours on this mission, trying everything I could and I finally found the way.
MY TEAM :
It's only an indication. I think you can do this mission with other allies/equipment.
- Soldier Shepard lv 59, specialized in assault rifle
- Wrex lv 59, auto-leveled
- Ashley lv 59, auto-leveled
- All my team's weapons were Spectre X and all the upgrades for all the weapons were Cooling Upgrades X, Barrel Upgrades X and Inferno X ammo. With these upgrades, weapons never overheated.
- Armors were all lv X, the best I got from the playthrough, but that's not the most important. Armor upgrades were for Shepard : Damage Protection X and Shield X, for teammates : 2 Medical Exoskeleton X
The biggest problems in this mission :
1) Enemies spawn randomly
2) Weakest Geths use energy shields and Shepard is always taking covers behind them if you run into them
3) Destroyer Geths take an enorm amount of time to be killed
HOWEVER THERE IS A WAY TO GET RID OF THESE :
I don't know if we can call it a glitch or a bug, but I figured out that when you kick an enemy and it falls on the bridge's fences on the left and on the right from where you start the mission, he is insta-killed.
MISSION GUIDELINE :
- Once the mission starts, take the path on the bridge on the right, then run to the circular platform on the left. Here kill the one or two enemies tha spawned meanwhile.
- Send your 2 allies in the river downstairs as long as you can aim from the platform. Don't go downstair. Your allies will look after the enemies in the river area.
- You have to care about the enemies on the platform and on the 2 bridges.
- To quickly kill the enemies on he platform, turn around them and keep firing. They will use their shield, but you won't be blocked by it.
- To quickly kill the enemies on the bridges, the Geth has to be between you and the fence. Then melee him. He will be killed.
- This technic is extremelly useful with the Destroyer Geths, but you have to kick them three times to lower their shield.
- If the Destroyers don't spawn on the bridges, attract them by shooting at them.
- It is preferable, I think, to run and use the melee than to shoot from a middle distance.
Note :
Using these hints I tried about ten times before getting the 51 frags needed (actually I got 55 kills). My lower score was 45, I reached 50 three times. When I got the 55 frags, in the beginning of the fight, 2 Fighter Geths and one Destroyer Geth spawned at the same place on the bridge, so I counted 3 kills in 6 seconds, with three kicks. I gained about 30 seconds. So it question of luck and random.
Don't give up you'll finish to reach the goal.
