This article is about the enemies that are encountered during the game. For information about varren in general, see varren.

Mass Effect Edit

Varren
Type	Organic
Armament	None (melee)
Abilities	Berserker Charge
Health	Moderate
Locations	Feros

Varren are only encountered once in Mass Effect, infesting the Prothean ruins in and around the human colony on Feros. These varren are also sometimes killed by the colonists for their meat.

Tactics Edit

• The varren you encounter on Feros are in large numbers, so keep moving around, shooting, and using Talents to avoid their bite.
• Biotic talents like Throw, Lift, and Singularity are effective against large, or even smaller groups.
• Using shotguns at close range, even if untrained in them, are also an effective way of dealing with the large groups.

Varren
Type	Organic

Armament	None (Melee)
Abilities	Berserker Charge
Health	Moderate

Varren return and appear in larger numbers and places in Mass Effect 2. Varren are found assisting the Blood Pack in their various operations and are also encountered on a few uncharted worlds.

Capabilities Edit

Offensive

Varren have a powerful bite, but they have to get close to use it.

Defensive

Varren have a moderate amount of health, and low armor on higher difficulties.

Tactics Edit

• Because varren have to get close in order to attack, it is advisable that you keep them at a distance.
• Using powers such as Throw, Pull, and Shockwave, even in higher difficulties can help keep the varren at a distance.
• If varren happen to get close, using Shotguns equipped with Incendiary Ammo is a great way of busting through their armor.
• The Arc Projector can easily kill large groups of varren in one or two shots.
