-The powers have a little circle on them in the UI if they time prime and a little explosion symbol if they detonate

These are welcome changes, though. Racing people to the grenades got old.

Yeah I had a group of pubs who just... completely loving ignored the things we were supposed to deactivate. None of them even tried to do said objective, and when I died trying to deactivate it (because I was by myself, because no one came with me :shepface:) no one came to revive me. At least we were on wave 6 at the time so we managed to get away with a little money anyway.

They way they moved and acted I think they sincerely thought "we can just kill all the mobs and *then* do the objective!" Yeah, it... it doesn't work like that.

I meant the burst guns, specifically. I'm perfectly happy with the Charger, I was just hoping by now I'd have some other options to play with that weren't the Avenger.

Ohh okay. Right well I'll buy my rare pack and then start buying all the cheap ones. Should I focus on getting the shittest pack or the one above it?

Second from the top, the 5000 credit one (at least that's what it is on PS4, no reason it'd be different elsewhere but I don't want to assume) is the one to focus on first. The cheapest one only gives consumable items; handy if you run out, but it won't give you unlocks.

I'm constantly jumping over cover now because I'm so used to pressing A for everything

What's the deal with the enemy with a red sphere? Am I supposed to shoot the little orb thing that goes around it?

Yes. Shoot the little orb thing that spins around him; when it dies he'll freak the gently caress out and be vulnerable for a while, and eventually he'll make a new one that you'll have to kill as well if you don't kill him fast enough. He doesn't regenerate health while inside it, though, so just kill it again and repeat until he dies.

Or at least he doesn't regen on Bronze; I can't speak for later difficulties.

So if I understand correctly, you first have to start unlocking everything from the basic packs before moving on to more expensive packs. How can you see if you've unlocked all the content from a specific pack?

You don't have to, it's just recommended to max out all the Common stuff first to take it out of rotation so they won't show up in the more expensive packs.

They've outright said the Quarians were making an Ark as well, and that part of the reason for their delay was technically difficulties due to having a ton of other species with them- Drell, Hanar, probably Volus as well. Just hold your drat horses and wait for the DLC.

What's the point where it's better do l to do a higher difficulty and fail, rather than a lower difficulty you can definitely beat?

E.g. if you get to round 4 gold, is that more money and xp than full extracting silver?

There isn't one; you don't make it to the extraction wave, you get no money

Finally, just so I understand the reason, the main idea behind getting common packs until you max stuff out is because once you level them up to ten, they drop off the loot table for the higher level packs? Plus some of the starter classes are pretty decent like infritrator.

Correct, once you've maxed out a character/weapon/weapon mod, it's removed from the drop table and won't show up anymore, so you've got better chances of getting poo poo you don't have yet/don't have maxed.

Near as I can tell, instead of being an "everything in this radius loving dies, no questions asked", they've now been changed to do a set amount of damage. Which is about half a Fiend's health on Bronze :shepicide:

Back when I was playing ME2, I was surprised they didn't have some sort of external cooling rack you could put on your armor to recycle hot thermal clips. Let em cool down, reuse em.

The sheer amount of heat pumped into them A) takes too long to dissipate to make that feasible, and B) I believe is explained in-game as warping the synthetic diamond used for it, so they have to be collected and reprocessed somehow or other.

Or, this being a post-scarcity society, synth-diamond is so dirt cheap to make that they can literally make millions of thermal clips and just leave the spent ones laying around.

The Outlaw Hydra tries to have a Sync Kill when it gets low on health but what ends up happening is it just beats the poo poo out of you and doesn't insta-kill you, and even if it does put you down you can still be helped up.
