    it's basically a sniper rifle with no scope and 8 rounds standard.

    It is perfect.
    I didn't understand how to use it effectively the first time I tried it, now I'm rather fond of it. :)

    I thought it was a bigger mattock, it is in fact just a faster sniper rifle. and the lack of scope gives you a bigger field of vision with minimal loss of accuracy.

    God damn is it wonderful.

    Since the special spectre packs are super cool I figure a lot of people are going to try to farm gold this week. Here is a brief primer on how to do White/Geth room farming, for those who haven't done it. Apologies if someone's been over this before and I missed it!

    This run focuses on the lower enclosed room on firebase white, because aggro is easiest to manage there.

    First, this is a pretty boring run. It's as close to 100% safe as you'll find, even when you're pubbing it, and each class usually does one thing over and over and over. Engi refreshes decoy, Caster hits 2 and 3 repeatedly, and so on. It goes fast, and gets you a lot of credits, but I recommend interleaving it with other stuff.

    Second, why geth? Geth do not have grenades. Geth also do not have banshees or other retarded bullshit that ignores cover. The extent to which a pyro ignores cover is nothing compared to, say, a brute, and pyros can be grabbed.

    This is a bad map:
    Spoiler:

    E - This is the Salarian Engineer. He is very important. Other engineers can try to do this, but in my experience Salarian is the only consistently capable race. You must have maxed decoy.
    S - These are shooters. One of these must be an infiltrator for optimal results.
    C - This is a caster. Asari Adept is best, but various others can do fine here. Biotic Explosion spec is optimal.
    D - Decoy or Drone goes here.

    What will happen is this. Mans will come in like so:
    Spoiler:

    The caster will explode the ones coming in from the right. Shooters will kill whatever they can. Engi keeps up decoy. When Geth start to reach the engi's barricade, his shooter switches over to grabbing (basically heavy melee from behind a barricade, when you see a fist icon instead of an arrow). The engi should feel free to grab if necessary, but keeping up the decoy is paramount. The caster should focus on anything at the engi's barricade.

    During activate/deactive missions, the infiltrator deals with targets. Aggro will still be mostly drawn to the decoy. During hack, everyone leaves the room and hacks (everyone! no exceptions!). During assassination, one person, usually the infil, uses a rocket to kill each target. Using rockets is important in order to maximize credits, since the targets may spawn well apart and/or be Geth Primes.

    Once wave 10 is done, everyone goes to the LZ and tries to live. Probably someone won't. That's not that important - you got your money. This will net you over 60k each run.

    but, good lord, I hope they get rid of that sound effect

    I don't even want a quieter version of it- just git rid of the damn noise altogether

    is there some kind of trick to the crusader?

    step 1: wait until you get it up to rank V or something because holy shit it weighs too damn much and does ass damage at rank 1

    use it to headshot, as it fires a singe slug. Put a damage mod on, and probably a extended clip.

    it goes through armor, making guardians easy to kill, and does pretty well on a infiltrator when coming out of cloak

  • DichotomyDichotomy Registered User regular
    I'm actually just putting the finishing touches on an exhaustively researched proposal that claims the infinite reave and ultimate charge are fundamentally linked

    I decided to use the N7 Tempest today on my Asari Adept as a backup for my pistol.

    The kickback is hilariously bad and you can't hit normal mooks unless they are directly in front of you, but for shooting large things like an Atlas, it feels really cool.

    I tried some SMGs, but ended up just switching back to pistol.

    reave works by absorbing energy from the enemy and dissipating it as sound waves

    Let me explain how you get 72K apiece per run.

    Go to Firebase Dagger or Firebase White and pick Geth or Cerberus. Make sure your difficulty is Gold.

    Kick ass, use maybe 3 rockets on Wave 10 and a couple medigels. For the entire team. At worst.

    Clean up, celebrate with a Team Brogan match on Silver.

    I love mine. Stuck it on my no-powers-no-cooldown Krogan Sentinel. Since at silver/gold you can't melee as wrecklessly, it's a viable alternative to the claymore. Multiple shots with still reasonable damage. Plus 100% penetration, so you can aim in the general direction of a guardian's head and they die instantly, mail slot or no. Plus it's stupidly accurate; I've beaten sniper infiltrators in number of headshots.

    But I got the Hurricaine. And I don't use SMG's, on any class.

    This is why RNG-based unlocks are infuriating; because it often seems like it's not actually random. Unless the R actually means *retarded*.
