I believe it (GPR) receives a 3x damage bonus when hitting a target's head. And it fires very quickly and accurately.

I got map mastery. Probably going to burn out and play a bunch of bronze now to knock out challenges. Got a good haul today. Black Widow 7, Paladin 5 and 6, Collector SMG 1, and a Javelin X all with just over a million credits. I got a Eagle 9 in my commendation pack so I had to redeem myself with the other stuff. I got dick all for equipment though, just a bunch of Strength enhancers, explosive ammo, and power recharge mods. Not even one shotgun rail amp today

Valiant IV.  Played GethInf with a Javelin for the Rio extraction. It was actually pretty fuckin' fun when I got used to the Javelin's godawful scope. Watching 3+ bars just vanish from a Brute or a Banshee or an uncloaked body shot being enough to drop a Marauder at full health really never gets old.

Gethfiltrator Javelin sniping is the most fun on Rio. With the high velocity barrel mod you can shoot through the base of the building in the middle of the map and kill enemies on the other side (have I mentioned how much I love that the Javelin has a built in thermal scope?). When I ran Rio earlier today, I just hunkered down near the ammo boxes by the power station and laid waste to everything on the opposite side of the map. Anything that made it to our half of the map was easy fodder for my teammates.

Chasiubao posted:Got a Raider, don't know if it's good or not? Its very good at higher levels. Put it on a soldier with adrenaline rush for the instant reload or a vanguard and see what you think. The pellet spread is ridiculous so you need to be pretty much point blank and remember to use a smart choke.

It turns out that "Extract on Firebase London" just means that your team has to extract and not you yourself since I was sync killed but it still counted for me towards the challenge. I've been using the batarian adept, I haven't seen anybody else using him yet, or the volus vanguard. Plenty of drell infiltrators though.

I want to like BAdept but Cluster Grenades are kind of awkward to use when you don't have a multitarget primer. I think I'm going to respec for the shrapnel evolution so that I can actually hit a dude.

GPR on a TGI is pretty amazing. I mean, all assault rifles on a TGI are amazing but my 200k challenge blew by with him. It's absolutely the headshot king.

Also don't forget that the GPR can utilize the heavy weight mods without taking a cooldown hit.

moist turtleneck posted:Also don't forget that the GPR can utilize the heavy weight mods without taking a cooldown hit. Oh yeah that too, 90% armor reduction really helps the GPR vs bosses since it's got such low damage per shot. GPR + acolyte with inc. is great on a Geth Eng because of the low weight and high application rate fire of burn effects means constant fire explosions.

The Geth Pulse Rifle was my first ever unlock from my welcome pack, along with a Quarian Engineer from my first Spectre Pack.  It's also hilarious on the Turian Soldier or Quarian Soldier with Marksman when it get an instant reload and turbo power. E: It's also probably the best assault rifle to take with a soldier in single player when you have maxed out inferno ammo.

People talking about getting an Ultra Rare in 5 of 10 PSPs, or even 1 out of 7, I hate you. I haven't kept track but I'm sure I've opened hundreds of PSPs and as of now I've gotten... let's see... 25 UR cards. And 12 of those are the Scorpion, Talon and Paladin that I've had since 6 months ago.

What bug is giving certain classes of mine more skill points than they can ever use? For example, my Asari Infltrator and my Turian Saboteur Engineer have all trees completely maxed. My Sabo is also level 12, to boot. What's causing this? Also, is it reproduceable at will? The premise of a Geth soldier or any adept class with max trees is intriguing.

Psyker posted:What bug is giving certain classes of mine more skill points than they can ever use? I don't know about reproducible at will, but it is bannable to use a maxed out character (if they find out).  When you get too many points, just don't use them (or if you already have, you could respec via card or promote). I had the same thing happen to my Huntress recently and only realized it when I was closing in on a level 20 spec at around 12. I stopped applying the points and it went away after a game. I had negative points until level 19, but I've got a standard level 20 spec on her now.

I put my eagle on it so I can keep my cooldowns low, and just shoot proxy mines at anything as long as teammates aren't in a big fight.

Also, I don't really see the point in maxing out the passive, unless you plan on making most of your DPS come from a weapon its basically a waste. Go to rank 5 and put those extra 6 points into Fitness instead.

Psyker posted:What bug is giving certain classes of mine more skill points than they can ever use? On PS3, this bug happens every time you get a new character now. The easiest way to fix it (again, on PS3, don't know if this works for all) is to not spend any points, switch to another character of the same class, then switch back. This will also fix characters that have negative skill points.

Three ultra-rares at level X now, and my Harrier is still at II, lower than my collector SMG. Got a hurricane IV in my commendation pack though, so that's nice

Since Fitness is a percentage bonus and Volus have diddly poo poo for health, why even bother taking more than rank 2? Does the Fitness tree interact with the Volus' heavy melee at all or is that just another  situation?

Lagomorphic posted:Well you always take rank 3 otherwise you have 3 points lying around doing nothing. Unless you skip it entirely of course. Yeah, my point was more that the functional usefulness of Fitness for Volus probably ends at 1 or 2 points. It's a shame there isn't anything you can do with extra points you have left over if you go 4/4 or don't care about Melee Damage. Someone once suggested being able to spend points to take both evolutions of a single power. Might be OP on some powers, but I'm not sure. Having to spend 8 points to get both damage and duration on Cloak (probably the most egregious example) doesn't seem OP to me.
