My measly 700k got me the Turian Ghost, Turian Havoc, Volus Engineer (an ultra rare class?), Collector SMG, Collector Sniper, and Collector Rifle. Now to try them out! edit: Volus have to stand on a box in the character creator. Tremors fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Oct 9, 2012 |

Does the Turian actually have a jetpack? How does the jetpack work?

Soon as this drops on Origin I'm heading home... cash stockpile is a measly 1.9M this time around and I've got three gold-level trash weapons still to get out of my system this time but I'm excited for the possibilities nonetheless. Hey maybe I'll even finally get an Indra. Sapozhnik fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Oct 9, 2012 |

NEW CLASS SKILLS Batguard does indeed get Blade Armor. Fight Club Sandwich posted:Does the Turian actually have a jetpack? How does the jetpack work? Havoc Strike is apparently like Charge, but with a jetpack. e: poo poo, Asari Sentinel gets Annihilation field and Tech Armor!

Is "Shield Boost" like an Ops Pack power? This could be interesting... EDIT: late to the party but Turian Infiltrator? ... Biotic Infiltrators? Asari Huntress seems a bit weird, you can't get a biotic combo off in time to benefit from the decloak bonus. Sapozhnik fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Oct 9, 2012 |

Ohoho, please tell me Shield Boost is their way of making a 2000 shields 1 health Volus viable. It's on all three of theeeeeem...

More info. Stimulant Pack is a shield and damage boost, Recon Mine is like a Tactical Scan Turret, Collector Sniper Rifle has unlimited ammo.

Unlocked a Volus Engineer - their light melee is a short duration cloak, their heavy melee is a shield that roots them. They can't take cover, can't see over low cover, and are the most adorable little things!

drat, I really want the Turian Havoc, Ghost and both new Asari. Time to stop sucking at the game so I can get space money.

They also have base health/shields of 150/500, and mostly seem to be support oriented. Could be good choices for farming. In other news, the collector sniper has unlimited ammo similar to the particle rifle. Kinda makes sense as they are husked protheans and presumably use the same technology.

KidKrampus posted:poo poo, how many customization slots does the volus have? Please tell me none. 3: Secondary, pattern, and lights. Mr Dog posted:Is "Shield Boost" like an Ops Pack power? This could be interesting... Basically. It refills your shields (but not health) for yourself and any teammates near you. Also, the update changed up some of the maps. I just did a round on Firebase White and there's a new hallway attached to that room at the top of the stairs that connects to the farming room. RIP in peace FBW/G/G.

Is there any word on how the Medi-Gel Transmitter works, yet? Does it let you revive someone from a distance at the cost of a medi-gel, or your whole team, or something else altogether? Also, I won't be getting back to my Xbox until tomorrow now. I'm so excited about the Volus, though. Anybody who doesn't like their addition is a stuck-up nerd! thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Oct 9, 2012 |

Even though I saved up about 3.1mil spacebux, I'm a bit tempted to spend on some MSP to be able to get some extra packs when I get home from work. Almost. Though I might actually do it if I don't get a Volus Engineer at first.

I'm not sure whether to be glad because it'll help solve revive piles, or be angry because this will probably make pubbies believe that dying on top of someone stupidly is a loving strategy now.

And I wouldn't be surprised if it increases the number of wasted medi-gels as people simultaneously try to revive while they're just starting to get revived from someone else in the pile. thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Oct 9, 2012 |

Fight Club Sandwich posted:Does the Turian actually have a jetpack? How does the jetpack work? Yeah, unlocked Ghost with stored up credits and just played a round with it. It's a roll, except you go up into the air a few feet instead of rolling on the ground! This is a nice change of pace for Turians. Also their heavy melee is some kind of crazy jetpack-based slam thing.

Asari Huntress seems interesting. She gets Warp and Dark Channel combined with the two power evolution in Cloak. Stealth biotic explosions everywhere.

Welp, that camping room in Glacier is blocked off now. You should have seen the confused reactions of my group when all sprinted towards it at the beginning of the match only to find it blocked off. I heard that White was changed a bit too, but I haven't checked it out yet.

Are there new maps in this update or are the new maps coming later with the new characters? or are all the new characters available right now? I thought they were splitting up the new character drops.
