    how did you guys level up ballistic blades

    I went for +angle > +range > explosive, but I'm not too sure about those last two

    on the one hand, it seems like explosion well go off even if that target dies before 3 seconds have passed. also, explosions seems like the only way to get blades to damage armor

    on the other, I've noticed that, even with the range increase, my mid-range damage is lacking. maybe I should drop range or pick up +damage, +bleed?
    i've been wishing i took explosive

    and i took the range upgrade and highly suspect that it is bullshit

    you shouldn't be using ballistic blades on anything that isn't in your face
    I also, inferno grenade is boss
    inferno grenades are okay, but you need a lot of points in them

    points i can't afford without sacrificing something better
    I went with three in batarian whatever and five in fitness
    so you're sacrificing a butt-ton of shields and health and also about 40 points of weight capacity

    just terrible

    Pro-Tip: if you are perched on that ladder/hack location in firebase Reactor from which you can see enemy spawns over some machinery, Do Not Charge At Them. Because it crashes the game.

    Well it crashed mine at least. could not resist charging the clustered band of squishies. Even assuming it had worked, it is almost certain I would have ended up in the ceiling or floor after ghosting through an invisible wall like that. Should have known better.

    I go damage->range->explosive. The default arc is pretty huge; I'm not feeling the loss of 20 degrees. Does pretty well on Silver. On Gold it's got the same problem all soldiers do: no defense stripping abilities aside from dakka.

    do you notice the range upgrade? i took it and found I was doing jack beyond maybe 5-6 meters, not 12, let alone the ridiculous 18m advertised in the upgrade

    It isn't anything like 18m--or at least it sure doesn't feel like it--but it'll reliably hit from a pretty good distance.

    I was hitting dudes in the drop zone from the top of the tower that overlooks the entrance to the drop zone in Firebase Condor with it.

    My mom got me into reading, fantasy, and science fiction. We spent endless hours watching the original Star Wars trilogy and the Indiana Jones trilogy when I was young. She also hooked me up with Tolkien.

    My dad got me into video games. I pretty much begged for an NES, and it went downhill from there. He and I would play the shit out of SMB, and he bought himself a Gameboy when it came out. I am now 28, and that fucking Gameboy just died a few years ago when he was playing what was probably his one millionth game of Tetris.

    Missile.

    Or abandon the hack point, kite the Atlases away, leave someone to kill them and have the other couple people run into the hack zone

    Okay, I wasn't sold on the Salarian Infiltrator. And then I got the Disciple and put Bonus Power on my Cloak. SOLD.

    Sucks against Reapers, but works great with Geth and Cerberus.

    Wait, what? The Mattock is awesome, unless you want a bullet hose of an assault rifle rather than a precision almost-sniper rifle.

    At this point my love for the Mattock has been transferred over to the Carnifex, though.

    With barrier up I can fire carnage, like, every ten minutes.
