Weapons: Submachine Guns, Heavy Pistols.

Specialty: Biotics, Tech, Combat support.Availability: Very early | First Playable: Freedom's Progress.The only way to have a loyal Jacob but avoid this problem is to reset his powers using the Advanced Training terminal at the Shadow Broker's Base (requires either Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC or Legendary Edition) and invest no points in Barrier this also applies to Grunt's Fortification and Legion's Geth Shield Boost. Unlocking Jacob's Barrier can create the conundrum that he will constantly reactivate it during battles even if Squad Power Use is disabled, making it much harder to call upon his Pull. Jacob's ammo power is Incendiary Ammo, the most versatile of the ammo powers: not only does it deal good damage to most organic health and all forms of armor, it stops the health regeneration of enemies like krogan and vorcha, and panics most organic humanoid targets. Pull once maxed is easily the strongest disabling power in the game, able to render multiple enemies instantly helpless and vulnerable to weapons fire or combos with Warp, and for a long duration. Jacob has a very similar kit to Jack, wielding a shotgun, an ammo power, and Pull, though his class and loyalty powers are geared more towards defense than offense. * Jacob Taylor and Miranda Lawson can each have 31 points maximum available for distribution, not the 30 that is usual for squadmates. Legendary Edition: All characters and outfits that previously required DLC to unlock no longer have this requirement, but any characters that can only be squad members during select missions that were formerly exclusive to DLC are still categorized as such on this page as they are still not available outside of those missions in Legendary Edition. Squad members are listed in approximately the order in which they become available. If Shepard is meant to be included, the terms "party" or "party member" will be used. Note: When the terms "squadmate" or "squad member" are used in this guide, they are only referring to other NPC characters and not Shepard. Finally, for recommendations on which squadmates to take on specific missions, see the Walkthrough page for that mission or assignment. For in-depth information on the various abilities, equipment, and weapon options, investigate those individual pages as most will contain notes and recommendations on squadmate use. For recommendations on what squadmate choices work well for specific player classes, see the individual Class Guides.
