Operation: Piñata Kai Leng has been defeated by Commander Shepard and his brother Kool Leng is out looking for revenge. Watch out, this guy is trouble! Like, if you thought one katana was dangerous, this guy has two omni-taped together! Holy smokes! Squad Goal: Deal enough damage that Kool Leng retreats in a puff of smoke and candy. Allied Goal: Don't write mean things about our villains on the internet. We try dammit!

Mr Dog posted:I kinda want an Indra and a Saber because those are literally the only two guns I do not have (well and the Collector Rifle obv) The saber is so loving good. Put an extended barrel and piercing mod on it and it basically turns into a railgun. The weight is kind of high, but I just use it on the Destroyer since cooldowns don't mean poo poo with that class.

It wasn't listed in the patch notes but I swear shockwave is more reliable than it used to be; it cascades down to lower surfaces now and doesn't bug out halfway through the game. BatSent is an absolute monster when paired with another caster.

LogicNinja posted:I'm pretty sure if Scifi Technology can explain Blue-Glowing Space Wizards, it can explain Volus Vanguards. With Volus being obscenely wealthy I'm sure they can afford to outfit their soldiers with the highest class armor and biotic amps. It doesn't put them anywhere near the Krogan or the Turians, but it's good enough to fight. Goddamn is there some delicious schadenfreude over this on the BSN. The anti-Volus butthurt is palpable.

Retaliation is up on the Xbox marketplace. It wasn't showing up for me under new releases but if you search by game title it's on there with the rest of the ME3 DLC. Also, the little blurb mentions Volus, that's really happening.

The Slithery D posted:I just realized the only weapons I don't have unlocked are the Harrier, Particle Rifle, Hurricane, and Collector SMG. Expect the latter to have its damage tripled if I somehow don't pull one in the next 48 hours. The Collector SMG is absolutely terrible, you're not missing anything. For the record I'm one of those insane people that doesn't hate the Eagle, even before it got buffed. Even the shittier guns have some niche build they can work with but the CSMG is so, so bad. It expends all its ammo in about two seconds and then you're stuck in a five second reload animation that you can't cancel out of, all the while you're getting shot to pieces. The Harrier and Hurricane own bones though, better start praying to the RNG god that fortune shall smile upon you.

Rick posted:Even with Halo 4 out and in my possession I'm still going to ME3 when I want to play multiplayer. I'm really surprised this happened. My only regret is that I basically wasted my money on the Gears of War season pass because I had so much more fun with this and I used to be all about Gears before. I love that the main antagonist in Halo 4 is voiced by Harbinger and Femshep is the one giving you orders in Spartan Ops. It's impossible to get away from this series.

And for content, I took the Argus for a spin for the second time since I unlocked it (now at X). I remember the first time it would spray all over the place, even shooting from cover, but with a stability mod it becomes pretty drat accurate and you can wade into crowds mowing down mooks. This is what the Revenant wishes it could be.

I got sync killed by a Brute while playing as a Volus and bounced like ten feet into the air after death. Death by chaos dunk. I'm impressed at how gold viable Volus are. Focusing purely on low cooldowns so you can endlessly spam shield boost and play combat medic is surprisingly fun and tense. All he needs is an ubercharge power and it would be perfect.

Alteisen posted:He's fantastic on the waves where you got a ton of armored poo poo rushing you since he allows everyone to tank really well. Also following a kroguard around is like god mode for the krogan. I'm always hesitant to play Volus among vanguards figuring they're going to zip away and I'll have to go chasing after. The high HP classes definitely seem to benefit more in tanking though. Last round I played was two Havocs and a Geth and they held their ground pretty well until the sync kill happened.

Felinoid posted:Surprisingly many at this point. Poor salarians have been ignored, though. If that next DLC really happens they have to give us Salarain STG classes along with that badass STG shotgun that fires grenades. It would be interesting if there was a spec option that gave new Salarians that Volus cloak in place of light melee. It's not like the squishy races use melee too often anyway, having an 'oh poo poo' button not tied to cooldowns would be more useful for getting out of tight situations.

Seconding Turian Infiltrator. He's got the mobility and abilities to pretty much live forever. Pop stim packs whenever you think you're going to die and make a cloaked supply run whenever you need more ammo or stims. I like to spec cloak for more duration too so you have the flexibility to run through mobs and reposition if things get too dicey or to take point as the designated disarm guy for four device objectives.

JoeRules posted:New to ME3 multiplayer here - I am near the end of the single player and wanted to boost my readiness rating before the end of the game, but I'm finding online to be a blast. If I've read right, when I hit level 20 I can "promote" my character - will doing that reset my Galactic Readiness Rating? There's two components to your score: the war assets you find in single player that show up on the war room computer and the galactic readiness multiplier. Promoting your character adds points to your war assets (75 per character I believe), and playing games online raises galactic readiness, which is the percentage your assets are multiplied by to give the total. So, say you had 100 war assets but a 75% galactic readiness, your effective assets would only be 75. It really doesn't change much for the ending though, so don't pay it much mind. The ending that requires the most war assets is widely regarded as the worst one FYI.

It sounds like it's going to be really intimidating to fire this back up. Anything huge I should know other than new classes/maps? I basically haven't really played since the first MP expansion was released. -Collectors got added as a new faction -Geth and Cerberus got buffed with new enemy types made to counter their old weaknesses -the last update changed Glacier and White so they aren't 24/7 farming like the old days -there's a new difficulty beyond Gold where you fight three factions at once -they added a gear slot where you can equip a reusable piece of equipment to go along with consumables -the last four updates added a fuckton of new stuff to unlock, but there are also new item packs that let you roll for guns or characters with higher odds

I started playing last week for the first time since this stuff came out, and I've looked into my challenges but I don't see anything other than vague listings and percentages. I want some swag. Each challenge has a number of sub-challenges you have to complete to get the banner. You don't have to complete every single one, just the number listed. The engineering/biotic challenges go by the fastest if you want one right away. It's the 'do 200 waves as X class' one that are grindy as gently caress.

Krogan Adept with a Native American headdress And just like that the Reaper War grinds to a halt.

I would pay cold hard MS funbux for a set of stunner shades to equip on my Batarians.
