    just had a game where I kept up with the collector sniper rifle
    on gold

    I think they gave it a capacity increase on the sly, I could have sworn it was 35 the day retaliation came out but now it's 45
    still, it's not actually that bad a gun
    the major flaw with it is that goddamn scope makes it so much harder to track targets properly with the beam, I thought it was rough trying to do it with the particle rifle
    if it had a 2x scope or whatever smaller magnification like the kishock and krysae, it would be vastly more usable

    So after trying a few UUGs with Wyborn's "drop the passive" Fury and I have to agree it's pretty great. I really like be able to get the slow from dark channel - with that plus Annihilation Field's speed boost I can cartwheel across most of the map with impunity.

    Acid rain can bite me, though. Teleported through a wall after sucking a possessed captain's shields dry, only to run into a drone that was able to murder me thanks to the goddamn rain.

    All done with tech explosion challenges! Didn't even really try to get them, either

    So glad they changed how those work. My only question is why weren't they always like that?

    Hee hee

    A volus adept and a krogan specced for pure damage output is absolutely hilarious. Easily makes up for one person having a skimpy damage output.

    My krogan buddy had 140,000 points at the end of the game. On silver.

    Since the AI prioritizes guys who melee, in meant I could safely stroll along behind him, pretty much ignored by everyone, providing pocket immortality.

    Buddying up with anyone who can put out decent damage works wonders with the voldept. Aside from shield-boosting you've got stasis to keep annoying tier 1/2s off their back while they focus on the bigger enemies.

    Volus engineer, on the other hand, works best when you buddy up with the entire team.

    Its really awesome that they have continued to add dlc to the multiplayer for free, but man there is a downside that I didn't see at first. It was hard enough trying to get and level the guns you wanted when the base game came out, but as someone who took a long break it feels like its going to take me forever to unlock the weapons/characters/gear im interested in, let alone leveling them up.

    On an unrelated note I saw the most insane dude playing silver. He had a reegar (?) rank 10 that destroyed everything, and if that didn't so the job fast enough he would flamer it. He ended up with like 160k points while the rest of us each had 20k because he kept killing things too fast.

    My fury hit level 14, and your build has worked fantastically so far

    Still debating my weapon choices

    I just unlocked smg stability, and the hurricane doesn't slow me down much

    Right now, I'm using the acolyte with piercing and damage, and a hurricane with light mats. and thermal clip

    I never whip out the hurricane, though

    And that's a damn shame

    But it's not hurting my recharge speed so why not carry it

    I was soloing reapers on silver, and while I was down, the husks decided to chain grab me, and then I got spleen'd by a Banshee. Joy. That was kind of embarrassing

    So is anyone else getting the bug where a husk or abom syncs you, and you go down to damage, and then you immediately rez back up without using a gel? It's happened five or six times to me now.

    That is why they are free and packs can be bought with Microsoft points.

    It's not really a bug I feel like complaining about. The "oh god my guns and powers don't work" bug is more concerning.

    Maybe there was a mix-up with abomination creation

    and some were filled partially with medi-gel

    it also could have been a production shortcut

    dammit, they knew they shouldn't have trusted a reaper named "Tommy-Two-Tentacles"

    oh, yeah

    playing the N7 Fury has heightened my desire to have a roll button that's separate from the 'take cover' button

    I have to play more methodically in order to prevent mishaps

    my heavy attack has proven to be more reliable for forward transportation

    Yea I never dodge forward on the slayer/fury. If I don't have time to turn sideways and strafe-teleport away I just heavy attack.

    the side dodge is a really good GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE

    unless you miss your intended direction

    and pop into a worse situation

    I only just realized how much I depended on froward rolls to get into cover

    now it's just a dead sprint

    Back when Glacier farming was a thing, the Fury's teleport was just the biggest pain in the ass. We'd all be holed up in that little room, somebody would go down, I'd turn to revive them and suddenly find myself on the stairs next to the room, between two ravagers, three brutes and four geth hunters.

    Tightening up action recognition in general would probably be more helpful. As is I usually can't seem to manage to rez a person who dies near cover without also dying myself.

    the fury's teleport is amazing at so many other things though, once you get a handle on how it lets you move around the maps. Once I realized how much it'll let you move vertically I started using it all the time; my fury hardly ever climbs ladders anymore.

    The latter - it looks like victory packs aren't happening for the small weekend events.
