Striker III and Kishok III, uh, thanks, Resurgence packs...?

[Rhyis.]

Fuck the resurgence pack imo. More creds for something you can get from the spectre pack anyway.

[Ikarys]

Got a javelin as my normal rare spot in one, I guess that's kind of consolation for getting the same 2 characters / 2 weapons over and over.

After spamming Premium Spectre Packs I'm back to Veteran Packs because I still haven't capped out on my weapons or upgrades.

[Dryr]

Yeah, I usually always aim the missiles at the ground or in some cases like Firebase White, the ceiling. The thing packs a punch of an AC-130 for something so small.

I aim at the ground as well. But, due to latency issues, I (no shitting) lose up to 5 missiles in a match that don't count.

It doesn't say it, but I'm p sure it guarantees 2 rares like the premium spectre pack. Only difference is the guaranteed resurgence item(which means kishock kishock kishock)

[Pendulum]

Can roll 3 golds in a resurgence pack, only 1 being guaranteed new stuff. Same chance as 2 in regular spectre probably though.

Got Batarian Soldier out of my Victory Pack today. Was quite happy. I didn't have that one yet. Still need Geth Infiltrator, Krogan Vanguard, and whatever the non soldier Batarian is lol.

[Charismatic]

I also got Batarian Soldier out of the VP.
Happy day; I actually really like playing it.


Also, is there a reason to take the explosion damage upgrade on Ballistic Blades as that final one if you took the damage upgrade earlier on? The reason I ask is it says that does 400 damage but the other upgrade takes blades from 1200 to 1600... which, is 400 damage... then it has extra bleed damage on top (assuming you took the earlier damage upgrade).
I'm not certain how this all works so perhaps there is something I am missing.

[Kiarax]

I've tried both and I prefer the explosion personally. I'm not really 100% on how the damage is worked out, but it doesn't always do that 1.6k. Seems to be if every Blade hits it does that much (or maybe X amount and the rest is put in to the bleed damage. So maybe 800 + 800 on the bleed or whatever?), and due to how massive the radius is... it's rare to get it all in on something unless it's a big target at point blank. The explosions always seem to do set damage though and it's AoE, so any other enemies that ran in to range or near the target take some damage too. I don't know if I could say which is actually the better of the two, but if anything the difference is minor. I just find the explosion both far more satisfying and slightly better against random grunts and stuff. Also has the added benefit of staggering enemies a second time I suppose. I dunno, I've messed with both and I just prefer the explosion. I'm probably always gonna do Damage + Range + Explosion on every respec from here on.

[Uzor]

In my opinion, explosion is better. That way you can take the increased range and radius, hitting more enemies and finish them off with the explosion. Also; explosion has the added benefit of giving an extra stun.

[Ikarys]

already over resurgence pack, call me when Elcor Engineer / Volus Sentinel drops

[Brill Weave]

Rachni Soldier please

Ok, I went away for a couple weeks and missed out on some of this newfangled shit, so could anyone help me out by answering a couple questions?

1. WTF is a Resurgence pack, is this yet another thing PS3 users can't get?
2. Can I get these new characters from regular Spectre packs?
3. Are the PS3 servers even worse than usual, or is it just me?

Thanks

[Kiarax]

Resurgence pack is the new weekly pack you can buy for 99k credits, idk if PS3 gets these or not? I thought they did. You don't get the Victory Pack for weekly events though. Yes you can get new stuff from Spectre packs, should say it in the description.

[Tarage]

1. Sony haet EA.
2. Yes*
3. lolPS3

*But not on PS3

[Kiarax]

Welp nevermind then.

[Xajii]

Jesus christ. Alright, thanks anyway. I'll just try to get to Paladin X in the meantime... -_-

Uuuuh, no? I got Kroguard and Geth infiltrator out of 60k Spectre packs, I'm on PS3.

Not sure on servers. Had to quit two Gold matches just now, was lagging to buggery and couldn't target anything. At least, that's my excuse for being crap at sniping.
