Has there been any penetration testing done with the Widows/Javelin as to how far bullets can penetrate objects and walls naturally, and whether it stacks with the mods?

**Rhyis.** · 2012-04-09 12:46

I'm pretty sure the armor penetration of the guns stack with the mod as well. No idea about object penetration. Probably easier to test with a javelin since you would be able to see the enemies behind the objects.

Did a Silver run last night that was funny as hell. 4 Drell Adepts. Lowest one was level 16. It was awesome. Watching Pulls flying all over the place followed up by multiple Reaves and grenades. Good lord. Easiest Silver run I've ever had.

**Drunkenmonk** · 2012-04-09 15:34

is the premium spectre pack timed?

**Slott** · 2012-04-09 15:42

Yes drunkenmonk, it'll be gone tonight or tomorrow.

**Brill Weave** · 2012-04-09 15:54

Probably tomorrow to coincide with new crap.

**Slott** · 2012-04-09 16:37

There is going to be a resurgence type pack that'll come out tomorrow, but the items also get mixed into the standard current shit

**Lonely** · 2012-04-09 17:04

WTF, I thought the piercing mod was shit because it gave perm 40% damage reduction. So like with enough penetration could you shoot through walls? Cause the new geth infiltrator has that see through everything vision....

Body is ready for multiplayer DLC.

**-Zer0-** · 2012-04-09 17:22

My understanding is that the damage reduction has always only applied when you're shooting through objects or walls. I've never noticed a penalty on my normal sniper shots.

**Pendulum** · 2012-04-09 17:49

Spamming the fuck out of Gold and still no Turian Sentinel or Asari Adept Q_Q

**Brill Weave** · 2012-04-09 17:54

At this rate you'll get the Geth and Batarian before those two.

40% less when you shoot them through walls. no effect for normal shots other than +dmg on armored units. I usually take ap over the +dmg barrels b/c heavy units are the only ones that need the bonus, especially when using a sniper (stacks with the ap of widow, etc but I usually use the barrel as well on those).

Otherwise, I just had the first 2 low-lag matches I've had in the past 2 weeks (I pretty much stopped logging in to try since the last gear event). It was nice getting 320k xp on silver when gold doesn't even get that high sometimes.

Anyone else notice a serious degradation in connections the past couple weeks? It doesn't count if you always host.

Asari Adept is ok and all (lol what am I saying, it's awesome) but I like the reave sound glitch the entire time we were playing up to the disconnects that I was plagued with

**Pendulum** · 2012-04-09 19:27

Yeah was fun lol

Also, premium spectres are no more, so I guess I'm sitting on this 120k till tomorrow.

**Odin'sLaw** · 2012-04-09 19:30

now i reave when i can but besides looking awesome, what does it actually do? (just drops shields right?)

it's also a dot and if you spec for area it's basically an ammo-less falcon for stunning large groups. Plus, it works great setting up/detonating biosplosions.

yeah i normally use it to drop shield then threw a grenade in there does the trick

**Brill Weave** · 2012-04-09 20:05

I usually lead with a Pull on an unarmored enemy and follow it up with a Reave. It launches them. Plus as Dryr said with upgrading the area of effect it is great for stunning a large group of enemies at the same time.

**Pendulum** · 2012-04-09 20:08

Pull grunt groups, reave grunt groups, kung fu dodge to next grouping whilst 1st group dies from DoT and you have damage reduction from reave, repeat.

Armored enemy: spam reave, grenade combo nonstop.

**Odin'sLaw** · 2012-04-09 20:38

what weapons do you normally use? no decent sniper rifles yet loving my claymore but i don't see Drells been shotties
