Could you run around with your missile out in ME3? The hindered mobility in this one kinda throws me off. Plus I forgot how it was only having 2 of each supply

precision posted:My biggest gripe with pubbies right now is they never use goddamn missiles. Again. One thing I like a lot about this iteration of the multiplayer is that the new mobility lets you play a lot more conservative with your consumables if you're smart about it. You never get cornered, so you're a lot more free to rotate around the map, picking off smaller stuff until the mini-bosses are all that remains.

I got lucky with my first box and got the Angara Avenger, I absolutely love it. It can probably perma-stealth a round with enough packs and remembering where the resupplies are, the upgraded stealth field keeps you stealthed during an entire deactivate, and it's saved so many team members already.Skippy McPants posted:One thing I like a lot about this iteration of the multiplayer is that the new mobility lets you play a lot more conservative with your consumables if you're smart about it.

Oh man the terror of being stuck in a dead end with two banshees bearing down is kind of the thing I miss from this MP.

Yeah, he gets my vote for best clutch class at the moment. The range on his strike power is also nuts, and if you take the damage mitigation upgrade he can drive into a pack of enemies, unload his grenades, and cloak away no problem.

Somebody on the mecoop subreddit already solo'd gold with him. Stealth Grid is pretty bonkers if you have a good route between ammo boxes.

Skippy McPants posted:Well, I'm stuck in a waiting room for the next hour, so here's some classes that work fine on Silver even with awful gear... Vanguard does fine damage so long as you're either punching or shooting things. For bronze/silver taking all the melee upgrades and a pistol/shotgun melee upgrade means you'll kill mooks in 1or 2 punches while simultaneously recharging your shields! Pretty much everything else outside of giant armored stuff will go down in about 3-5 seconds. precision posted:I keep trying to do the Silver strike team mission that has the +100% Shields, -75% Health modifier and pubbies keep being awful at it while my KroGuard stands there never dying lol Have you managed to actually complete this?

Oh don't worry, if you play enough pub games (say, two), your team will throw in the sponge hard during an objective round, and though you won't be in the old "cornered" position, you'll be in the newer, upgraded "surrounded" position instead. Honestly, sometimes this game gives me flashbacks to playing Assault in Space Marine. Where there literally is nowhere you can go that you aren't being shot in the rear end. Shields? What shields?

Just press the button and click as soon as you need it, no need to run around with it readied.

You can Nova Observers if they are low to the ground, near roof levels, or have a bit of lag that makes the Nova connect midair host side when you're already on the ground.

I started with Human Soldier first, mostly to learn the levels and controls and whatnot. I'm probably going to switch to another class and rarely play the soldier at some point, but I'm curious about the turbocharge skill. Is turbocharge garbage or am I bad and that's the class defining skill? I would probably leave that at 1 skill point and max everything else. If it's not garbage, I assume frag grenade would be the skill that you don't put points in? Kind of rough to use without the grenades being sticky. Basically I'm having a hard time evaluating skills.

Turbocharge instantly reloads your gun when you use it and the accuracy is important because andromeda added very severe accuracy decay on guns. So it's better than it seems. With the frag grenade you have to learn to cook it. It has a 2 second fuse so you usually want to hold the button for 1.

Ein Sexmonster posted:One of the rank 6 lance evos lets you have Lance use shields instead of incurring a cooldown, like old nova. Is the shield restore evo better, though? I feel like 'free lift party on every one of those loving stealth dogs that looks at you funny' would be pretty dang strong. Also, PSA: Remember that you can grab people with lift, walk over to the edge of the map, and dump them off for free kills.

Digirat posted:Turbocharge instantly reloads your gun I actually didn't realize that, I should read the skills more carefully. I think I already screwed the build up by taking reduced recharge for concussion shot instead of power cell capacity 5. Right now I don't have enough mission funds to want to use them towards a respec, just easier to switch to another class.

Human Sentinel isn't bad, she's pretty durable and her mobile cover will save your rear end, you can also spec it so you never lose shields so if you have that sticks together you shouldn't have any issues, energy drain can save you in a pinch. I've been using her like my krogan, just rushing down everything.

Salarian Infiltrator is just as great as ever, especially since this game loves to give me a billion Sniper Rifles and almost nothing else. I like how varied the maps are, some are seriously huge, some have neat little hidden areas, there's a particularly good Dallas Book Depository on Magma that can trivialize non-objective rounds if the rest of the team just hangs out at the top of the ramp, just cleared Silver like 3 times in a row with sub-level 7 characters on all of us.

Nephzinho posted:What is a good build for the Angara Avenger? Just got him and am running it with the Widow, so skills are pretty irrelevant for Bronze. Here's the build from the guy who solo'ed gold with one. Personally, I might go for a few more points in the Sticky Grenade at the expense of Stealth Grid. but that's only relevant for a Rank X build. The non-maxed build he posted should do you fine. Also, drop the Sniper Rifle and equip the best SMG you've got. Your basic attack sequence is to Strike in and use the 5s sun to unload a bunch of bullets and grenades. If you really want to dump, then your biggest alpha strike is Stealth Grid > Avenger Strike > All your Grenades > Empty weapon clip > Stealth Grid out. It's resource intensive, but I can strip more than half the health off of a Hydra mech with the full combo and it will outright kill anything that isn't a mini-boss. Fake Edit: Oh, and take heed. There's a bug with Stealth Grid that causes it to end early if you're not hosting the game. Booooo!

I got the Asari Duelist but I don't know if it's that great. The sword attack seems to do a shitload of damage, but the windup animation takes forever and has overshot on several occasions. Backlash seems kinda worthless to me, the reflected shots don't look like they do much and you have to stand out of cover the whole time the shield is up ( though maybe I'm using it wrong).

"A large portion of the time is spent in stealth but it doesn't make you immortal. If you stealth in the line of sight of enemies, they can still shoot at you. Walking too close to any enemy will cause them to try to melee you and dogs aren't affected at all. Some enemies such as bosses or Beserkers will still fire their AoE attacks in your general direction." Well this finally explains why the hell Stealth Grid seems to fail half the time I used it. The ability doesn't say anything about this so like half the time I activated the ability it wasn't giving me the cloaked visual effect and I was confused as hell.

She's probably the Krogan Gladiator that was datamined- If that holds true she'll have pull, blood rage, and either nova or annihilation field (wasn't clear in the files). Along with the offensive Biotic and rage passives obviously.

Normally, enemies can still hit you, but the cloak is up and they'll stop shooting after a second. If you're hosting the match you never lose the stealth effect early, no matter how much fire you're taking.
