kill all geth
The ME3 thread continues for another cycle. What's to talk about?
kill all geth
SINGLEPLAYER

- Groundside Resistance weapon pack
- Omega DLC coming soon

But who cares about that? You're here for

MULTIPLAYER

- Retaliation is the most recently released free multiplayer expansion
- Track your stats with the N7 HQ

The current weekend operation? Valkyrie.

Continue to discuss your long and bitter war with the multiplayer progression system here. Also the mysterious N7 Day is upcoming? That might be neat (it is November 7th)

    well I was looking forward to seeing exactly how they handled the valkyrie goals over multiple games

    but it turns out when you give a turian sentinel a valiant VI with high-velocity barrel and pen mod V he can get it done in one game

    I do know that it provides handy popups to inform you of your progress every so often, and it looks like you can indeed use any combination of promotional weapons to do so

    Yea, I've been dualwielding the crusader and eagle on my Shadow because I enjoy making plat pubs rage at me for having a bad kit.

    I booted up a solo geth/giant/bronze game with my male Quarian Infiltrator equipped with a Crusader, and I got a third of the way through the challenge by the time I wiped on Wave 10.

    The points you earn in one match will indeed be recorded and saved, and you can check your goal progress on the Challenges screen like anything else. I got the challenge done in a second match I joined some pubbies in with my Valiant-wielding Salarian Infiltrator.

    So it shouldn't take folks very long, as long as they are playing a class that uses weapons more than powers, or uses powers that affect weapons. So basically, roll Infiltrators or Soldiers.

    of course the game picks now to break my streak of valiants and eagles with a crusader

    which is a damn shame because I really wanted to get my hands on the valkyrie (the gun, augh why did they call a kit by the same name a gun has)

    I don't know, why don't you ask the paladin.

    They really missed an opportunity by not naming one of the Turian Rocketeers 'The Eagle'.

    They don't have Eagles on Palaven.

    Hey did this already get brought up?:
    Yeah, just finished looking into the other issues with Chris - there are some data bugs with the way the normalized damage computations work for the Collectors (and probably some other enemies as well). This would cause them to receive damage that had been scaled incorrectly from certain sources (combos being one of them).

    With Scion damage, it looks like there was a bug introduced with an optimisation that is resulting in a double call to the radius damage... we'll look into possible fixes for both issues.

    Thanks for bringing this up guys.

    Basically, not only do collectors straight up have more health than anything else, Scions are do double damage.

  • AntimatterAntimatter Devo Was Right Gates of SteelRegistered User regular
    HAH

    i knew those damn scions were bugged

    So I completed the weekend challenge using the Hurricane and man I really like this gun, it's pretty decent! Even at level 1 it's pretty good, as far as SMGs go

    I think the hurricane's number one obstacle is getting used to something that isn't the Locust from ME2

    Yeah, the hurricane is great. I've only got it at level 1 and it's my weapon of choice for Drell Adept.

    Slap some warp ammo on that piece and let nature take its course

    I hardly ever used anything other than the Claymore in ME2 so that wasn't a problem for me.

    I'm having a lot of fun with the Fury, by the way. Thanks, Dich, for the build advice.

  • WybornWyborn GET EQUIPPED Registered User regular
    The Hurricane, magazine for magazine, can slug it out with the Harrier at equal levels. It is one of the best guns in the game and the perfect Turian Soldier weapon.

    I am gonna beat this challenge with it tonight I think

    hurricane is a solid caster gun

    i prefer the new acolyte or the viper though

  • WybornWyborn GET EQUIPPED Registered User regular
    It's good on casters cause you can make it weigh nothing

    It's good on weaponmasters (especially turians) because it can burn down God

    It's solid in all hands, sort of like the Piranha

    been a while since I used it
    figured I'd slap the hurricane on my turian havoc, he gets in peoples' faces and has lots of weapon damage bonuses, give it a shot (hah)

    recoil mod? nah I'm playing a turian I'm fine


    about the only thing I can hit reliably is an atlas right in front of me. I forgot how clownish the recoil on this goddamn gun is

    This is one of those cases where a Havoc isn't actually ideal, because you want to put a Grenade Capacity on him; the Barrage mod is actually more useful.

    Put it on your Turian Soldier, give it the scope and armor piercing mod, the barrage equipment - maybe even take the stabilization module in your armor slot, though only do that if you want to get rid of all recoil altogether.

    And this is important: fire from cover. You will be able to sight in and headshot all the dudes, I pinkie promise you

  • OlivawOlivaw good name, isn't it? the foot of mt fujiRegistered User regular
    Yeah, the Hurricane is a fantastic gun on a turian or the Destroyer

    Any class that gets bonuses to accuracy or stability can fire that thing and reliably hit distant targets, and each individual bullet does a lot more damage than any other single bullet from any other SMG, so you can get points with it even if you only hit one shot out of five

    I swear trying to play volus sometimes is like herding cats

    no don't go over there, you suck and you're going to die alone out there, stay here with everyone else and just keep firing your gun and I'll keep you alive

    no do not go racing off to hit that cluster of three pyros with your annihilation field how thick are you

    I actually like the argus a lot on a turian. Triple headshots all day

    Also seriously, the PC Servers are garbage.

    feels like the banshees are back to their old tricks
    two waves in a row had one grab me the instant a havoc strike connected


    then on the third wave, one grabbed me halfway through a havoc strike away from her, pulled me back, and killed me

    and then on the extraction wave, the fourth in a row, I was fleeing from one that suddenly appeared from around a corner when I got grabbed and pulled back

    does shield drain cause cryo explosions off enemies y/n

    basically i am trying to build my paladin and i find shield drain at 3 ranks is basically worthless and incinerate vexes me but if shield drain sets off cryo explosions then all is right with the world

  • AntimatterAntimatter Devo Was Right Gates of SteelRegistered User regular
    after an hour of trying to get on the servers, after completing the operation, after ten minutes of trying to reconnect to the multiplayer after i got booted while i was in the store, i get an Eagle III
