[Mass Effect] Operation Raptor is Over! Kwoaru lusts for Batarians on page 101

LanglyLangly Registered User regular
edited April 2012 in Social Entropy++
Greetings, Soldier

Mass-Effect-3-Paladin-Pistol-Mods.jpg

The M-77 Paladin is a reliable, durable weapon developed by law enforcement looking for a high-powered but easily concealed sidearm for undercover agents. Surprisingly small for its hitting power, the Paladin is a variant on the Carnifex pistol. While it has a smaller clip than the Carnifex, its shots are unquestionably more powerful. It's a better sniper rifle than most sniper rifles, carries four shots per clip, and puts most things down in one or two hits. This is a gun that you want to own.

Are you a bad enough dude to carry the Paladin into an endless war against reapers, robots, and renegades? I fucking doubt it, but we'll see.

Other Paladin Owners/Enthusiasts you might want to shoot things with.

Talk about your Paladin strategies here

You can see updated MP changes here, if you're into that sort of thing.

    I have a question about Priority: Earth
    Two of the cinematics - when Hammer is landing after the Hades Cannon is destroyed, and then when the ground assault on No Man's Land is launched - played in slow motion. Are they supposed to do that? I ask because both contain footage that I've seen playing at full speed in the launch trailer, so I'm wondering if my Xbox just did something weird.

    Also, regarding Kai Leng:
    If you don't take the Renegade Interrupt to break his sword and stab him, does he just kill you?

    My favorite enemy with the Paladin are the Marauders. I love hitting them in the head once and watching them stumble as their shields collapse, they shake their head stunned at their misfortune, the second shot just aerates their brain.

    no, you dodge and then kill him the same way.

    basically, it's just not as cool

    no, you just dodge his sword instead of breaking it

    you still kill him

    not sure if you get to do the badass THIS IS FOR THANE/KIRRAHE, though

    So, I beat the game last night. I'm told it was the red ending.
    Well, isn't that just a hell of a thing. Let's review:

    Joker is flying away from I don't know what.

    My girlfriend (Tali) is on some paradise planet with Joker and Javik.

    I killed EDI and Joker looks pretty happy considering that his girlfriend is dead in the seat next to him.

    I'm dead....mostly. Apparently I'm still breathing because, you know, I'm fucking Shepard.

    HOW THE FUCK DID THE CREW GET BACK ON THE NORMANDY?!

    Is the follow up in the Mass Effect universe going to be what happens when every alien military force in the galaxy tries to call earth home because fuck if they can't make it back to their own places because we just blew up the relays?

    Anderson is dead because I shot him by mistake....I think?

    ...I just wanted a house on Rannoch.

    Going to go back later today and throw myself in the beam and go for the Star Trek Undiscovered Country ending and create synthetic organic hybrids.

    when I say that the paladin/carnifex is a better sniper rifle than most sniper rifles

    I am not exaggerating. If you have either, and are an infiltrator, you are better off taking the pistol with a scope and not a rifle.

    Sentinel also works well with the Paladin! I've also used it while being a vanguard. I wouldn't use it on a soldier but only because I use the soldier for every other gun just for the fun of it. You want good results though? Paladin.

    You get a super fast recharge on your cloak/other power (160% for my salarian infiltrator with the Paladin I), as much damage, a better scope (mid range rather than super long range), and four shots per clip.

    It's ridiculous.

    ok yeah so I should say

    if you want to snipe as an infiltrator, the paladin is the best sniper rifle.

    I love multiplayer engineer though I'm thinking the human engineer might be way better than the Quarian I just unlocked. Overload >> Cry Blast and Combat Drone is easier to aim into a crowd.
