I've only got a Venom 2, but holy poo poo it's as fun as I was hoping. You can bounce shells around the corners and behind cover once you get used to the arc and bounce. Stick it on a soldier, abuse turbocharge, and you can literally shell the poo poo out of entire waves from across maps as they spawn. Or fill any indoor area with a shitload of explosions.  Extraction is hilarious.Pure comedy on bronze, the RoF makes it a bit iffier on silver, and I imagine it would need to be maxed to be as helpful on gold.

So funny story: I have a power cell specced human soldier that has absurd burst damage when you can spam 5 frag grenades and 6 concussive shots in 10 seconds. Last night I threw a frag grenade at an enemy Pariah with her Backlash up, thinking it'd just wipe her out. It actually bounced off her shield, turning it into a double damage enemy frag grenade that immediately downed my two melee specced teammates.

I'm kind of speechless. We were all talking about needing 50-100% buffs to guns, and that's what they went and did. I expected the Vanquisher nerf, but to only drop it 10% shows that they're actually listening. What the hell?

There's three new equipment items that will probably be rolled out weekly like the others: Enhanced Munitions: Increased combat power damage Revive Pack Transmitter: Using a revive will also revive nearby downed teammates Shield Enhancer: Raises maximum shields Revive is gold, other two are silver

Oh man, buffed Soned means my gimmick Accuracy Turian Soldier is going to be fun af. I did an APEX mission with buffed rifles before the patch and could mow down enemies while slowly walking at them like a loving Terminator. Now I can do it in regular missions with even more headshots!

The thing I'm most shocked about is the change to Assault Turret. Having the cooldown start when you deploy it, so that you can re-deploy quickly, is great. But it's still weird since they never bothered making Combat Drone good in ME3.

precision posted:Nova You can get 155% power bonus damage from passives, plus another 75% vs shields or armor, which changes it from 1020 damage to 1071, or 1320 to 1386. Not really noticeable, but maybe it changes Raiders from having a sliver of health after charge+nova? Or one shots wraiths after their health nerf? Or they were running the vanguard numbers on 4/20.

It was just a weed joke guys I wonder why they gave Barricade an extra 1 second? Was anyone even asking for changes to Barricade? They could post "Barricade: Now fires Explosive Blades every 2s" and I'd still have to think about whether I want more than 1 point in it.

precision posted:It was just a weed joke guys My bad on the  joke.Barricade always kinda felt short on deploy time, it's a good reliable power and helps in a lot of tough situations since Bioware made the Team-Hack/3-Point Upload locations have minimal cover. More importantly, Ruzad does double the damage now! Time to gently caress poo poo up in the face!

I just played a game of 4 krogan engineers and it was amazing, just an 11-minute fireworks show. New combo-tastic glass cannon asari adept is going to take some getting used to. I probably won't be playing her unless I feel like putting in the time to host my own games, because boy howdy does a tiny bit of lag gently caress you now - being caught between cover at the wrong second in front of a hydra is now a death sentence for her, but setting off a biotic combo with warp will kill a gold raider DEAD in ONE loving SHOT. YES. Having so many combos go off in your face is kind of blinding since people are bothering to set them off now, though. The silver shotgun skirmish is loving hilarious with a soldier now too, took a katana because why not, and ruzad X and that was great. I aimed at a raider's head across a room and enough pellets hit to kill him; loving fabulous! edit: kett still the worst, but being able to actually strip their shields with one overload and the fiend not being a guaranteed death because he thought about you while he was in an adjacent loving area code go a looong way to improving them. Improving interactions between cobra missiles and the ascendant's dumb face was also a nice boost. edit 2: double xp boosters are still a thing vvv ushior with extended mag has 3(or more for a soldier) shots and is boss as gently caress now. The Valkyrie is also in a much better place. Haven't tried the Dhan's enhanced weakpoint damage yet Rocketpriest fucked around with this message at 23:18 on May 10, 2017 |

I have a Ruzad 8 or 9 that I thought was "almost pretty good" before, I'm surprised it got such a huge buff. Definitely gonna actually try and get some of those weapon nameplates now! Ushior with double damage and 2 shots per clip is surely a very good option for Infiltrators?

Were level 4 ammo things around before the path? I've had two today and never got one before Also unlocked the Turian Havoc which I've wanted since first playing with the jet pack. It's a bit weird she doesn't have a lot of weight capacity to carry two decent guns though. Oh and HOLY poo poo TRY THE KATANA!!!

I was in a few gold games (never bothered with gold before today) and we were all biotic/sentinels. After two games against Outlaws, the host switched to Kett and all three of us left straight away.  They're still pretty tough on bronze with low level characters. They die a lot quicker but still hit harder than they should and the anointed really need something that stops them just walking in to you firing their miniguns and even jumping over cover to get you.
