So I heard that if you slap ultralights on an SMG and slap them on a pistol too, they'll both work, and I guess the OP confirms it. I guess it's double sidearm time in Fury town.

I do this on my Fury, and it works. It's a very odd way to 'fix' SMG Ultralight, but there you go.

One must be left standing in the extraction zone after the shuttle crashes, leaving them no chance of escape. The game will continue until this player is killed.

Surprise Survival Mode would be a nice event. "Survive Wave 11 for X minutes on Gold or Platinum without Medi-gel or teammate revival"

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.

The best part of the Saber is the sound it makes. I like to just fire it randomly in between waves.

On one hand, there's Reave, as you said.

On the other, it ensures your squad vaporizes that rear end in a top hat Centurion, or at least ensures he's out of cover/has stopped firing at you for the time being.

Reave staggers, too, hits instantly, and gives you damage resistance. Everything Pull does, other than make near-dead guys float, is done by Reave.

Edit for original content: Can anyone tell me the best way to use the Revenant? I love its rate of fire, but it just doesn't seem to do much for me. I know many people love it, but perhaps I'm just not putting it on the right character or using the right consumables. I tried it on the Turian soldier and the Destroyer with maxed stability and rate of fire.

Hold down fire button with Marksman or Devastator Mode active. Become Rambo. Repeat as necessary.

Extended barrel is your best friend, and his buddy magazine size will want to come along. Turians don't need stability mods, and Destroyer can do fine without them, too. Piercing mods or ammo also go well with the Revenant.

The Revenant and Typhoon are all about filling the air with bullets. So many bullets.

Eviscerator, Disciple, Scimitar, Katana. Every shotgun works. It's really not fair to compare them to the Pirahna.

It's not fair? I mean, I guess you could say that since the Katana, the Scimitar/Eviscerator, and the Disciple/Piranha are different tiers (common, uncommon and rare respectively) you can't really put them on the same level, but I know I'd pick the Piranha over the Eviscerator any day, any class, any map.

I was playing with the Eviscerator today and I realized that (as a slow-firing, high-damage shotgun) it would synergize really well with a caster class. But I would still use a Piranha over it. It's just too good man!

When I say fair I mean in the sense that the Pirahna was blatantly overpowered, to the point of replacing most weapons.

London sucks because it's a dark map and the stupid RED VEINS AND poo poo when you take health damage make it impossible to see anything that isn't right in front of you.

Condor sucks for mostly the same reason.

The missile launcher in the N7 soldier class seems rather... underwhelming. Does the damage eventually add up?

No, it doesn't. Unless Bioware buffs it a lot, don't put any points in it.

Thanks for the breakdown on the numbers behind Spectre packs. I'll switch to that strategy since I still have a number of silver unlocks to go.

Eventually I'll get the dang N7 Paladin. But yes, I do need more consumables and more silver gear. My current consumables is at 0/2/0/255. (The mystery of which one is 255 dies with me.)

If you're on PC, just rename the DLC folders (MP_DLC_1 or 2), then load up the game and buy your SPs or PSPs. It will remove all items from the packs but vanilla and Earth items. Your unlocks are stored on your account itself, so just close ME3 up after you're done buying and rename the DLC folders to what they were.

Deactivating the DLC on the 360 and PS3 will do the same thing.

Interesting! I'll try this. Do I have to deactivate Origin/shut the game down before doing this, or turn off any kind of auto-updating?

You can leave Origin running the entire time, but yes, shut the game down when you're messing with folder names to be on the safe side.

Consumable equipment also says it's used up after one mission, while gear doesn't say it's used up after one mission. Gear also doesn't have a count, like consumables. :eng101:

Pyros can be stunlocked by any melee if you time it right. On higher difficulties, that Hunter would have shot you in the face during its stun animation. Twice.

I think the weirdest thing about the Fury is how she's the Adept In The Iron Mask, yet she talks exactly like every other human. Guess I just expect someone with that kind of headgear to sound like a Phantom.

Phantoms and Nemesiseses sound like that because of the horrific cybernetics and Reaper-tech they're implanted with. As in, the Nemesis' lenses aren't a mask.

You can also just say everybody is using space radios. except the Krogans. They just shout real loud.

Zikan posted:

Glacier/Cerberus/Gold is usually a good one for pick up groups. People tend to either move through the map together killing all the spawns or hold up in the center room and kill everything. Holding up in the center room with an organized group works well on Platinum apparently but I've never tried it.

The one time I did Platinum there, we camped out in the little room at the top of the stairs. The Demolisher dropped a pylon, and the Destroyer and Infiltrator did their things, strafining out into the doorway. I was a Fury and basically became anti-Phantom Patrol, AFielding everything on the stairs and in the room, and detonating when I had the chance.

It went really well, even when Banshees would teleport into the room. The room was small enough that they only used melee and their shockwave, which the pylon could cover for.

On my Shadow should I spec N7, sword mastery, or both?

Both. You are a ninja. Max sword mastery. I took N7 to 5 because I use light guns or ultralight mods. Electric Slash got the pity points so I have something to do when Shadow Strike will put me in a crowd of Phantoms and Atlases.

As for what I would solo/duo this with? Probably Asari Adept on Cerberus since I can just stasis everything except Atlases, and then just Biotic Combo those since they're so slow.

Krogan or human Vanguard, or Vorcha against Geth. With no instant kills Geth are the safest, Nova is still ridiculous, and Krogan Vanguards and Vorcha are functionally immortal.

Really, Bioware? Are you determined to make the geth just not fun to ever play? Do you have that much of a hard-on for loving with geth gold farmers even now that everyone's farming platinum easy as pie?

Really, though, the Prime's drones were always supposed to fire missiles. It does suck that they didn't add that bug fix to the patch notes, though.

Yea, the Drell is probably Sentinel or Engineer. If they keep it one character per class, the Infiltrator is covered by the Asari and Krogans get the Adept (which is probably a female, being a shaman).

If the shaman is a female, it's gonna make Brogan parties weirder. What nickname could we give them? Galgan? Femgan?

The good thing about the Praetorian kill is that it looks like it takes long enough to actually be able to focus fire it down before it kills someone. Every other kill is practically instant, minus Banshees.

One nice change I saw last night when dropped into a game with people farming G/W/P was that Banshees now seem to immediately teleport over the cover in the grab room and start executing people. That certainly livened up the game.

They'll also just walk right over it. One walked over cover on Condor, prompting me to run even harder.
