In short, The Reaper IFF Mission is secretly what will kickstart the end of the game. As such, you’ll want to delay doing it until your team is as ready as can be (save for an empty Squad Mate slot on the left).
When should I do Reaper IFF?
So, we recommend you treat the Reaper IFF as your ME2 Point of No Return.

How long is the Reaper IFF mission?
The objective of the battle is to destroy the Reaper Core, but an iris often closes to cover it, preventing any damage. The iris is open at the beginning, but closes when attacked or when the initial Husks are dead. It will stay closed for between 45 seconds and a minute.
Who should I take on the Reaper IFF mission?
There’s a ton of fighting on the Reaper ship, so you’ll want a squad that can fight. Grunt is arguably the best companion to add to your squad for this mission due to his incendiary ammo being useful against well-armored Scions, as well as his health regeneration and fortification ability.
Can you do Legion’s loyalty mission after Reaper IFF?

What triggers the collector ship mission?
