Mass Effect 3

The point is it will look like it works from the weapon cooldown screen. However when you pull up your powers screen, you will notice no change (in power recharge on specific powers) unless you're using the geth smg.

[BaneTheBrawler]

oooooh that power screen.

Couple of cool vids that have been posted past couple of days

Batarian Sentinel
- Starting encumbrance capacity increased from 30% to 45%

Submission Net Power
- Base cooldown decreased from 10 to 8 seconds
- Base hold duration increased from 4 to 6 seconds

Sentry Turret Power
- Base turret damage increased from 30 to 40
- Evolution 5 rocket damage increased from 250 to 300

Tech Armor Power
- Base damage protection increased from 25% to 35%
- Base encumbrance penalty decreased from 60% to 50%
- Evolution 3 power damage bonus increased from 20% to 30%
- Evolution 4 melee damage bonus increased from 30% to 40%

FUCK YEAH TECH ARMOR BUFF, 50% DR is a totally nice tradeoff for .5 sec recast. The batarian sentinel still needs a tiny more adjusting but these buffs were great, quarian turret is still weak and FAR too inferior to the geth turret.

Kishock X YES! (Now it will stop junking up my rare slots)

[Brill Weave]

Grats. My Kishock is level VI now. Still plugging away on my Widow which is up to IX.

[Rulke]

Ok so I just got the harpoon gun. Is this thing any good? Or more like a fun toy?

[Brill Weave]

The only time I tried it was on a Gold and it was level I so it fucking sucked. Haven't touched it since. Damage wise it's higher than the Widow. I usually don't see too many people rolling with it though. Take that for what it's worth.

It's good in that it ignores shields, but it arcs rather than firing straight so lag will mess with your accuracy a lot.

The Reapers are targeting our training centers, and your mission is to draw their fire and attention. Put them on the defensive! Buy us time, and the reinforcements in training will soon back you up.

Allied Goal: Promote 50,000 characters
Squad Goal: Promote 3 characters
Special Circumstance: Due to the failure of Operation SILENCER, more banshees will spawn with Reaper enemies and might also spawn with other enemies.

Squad Goal Success: Squad members awarded a Commendation Pack
Allied Goal Success: All players awarded a Victory Pack (high chance of containing a Rare weapon)

Yay for easy commendation. Guess this is no reapers weekend unless you people like instant death from all corners. Gold is going to be hilarious this weekend.

Also ya don't bother with the graal, kishock, and the sticky pistol unless your host since they fire projectiles which result in inaccuracy with EA servers and laggy host.

[Jakson]

You can charge up Kishock and shouldn't really be used otherwise, but still sucks.

[Pendulum]

Bawww away for a week starting this friday, Crusader gonna be stuck at level 2

It is pretty beastly fully charged, with the increased headshot damage (300%) you can OHKO brutes on gold. But for reasons mentioned already it isn't actually viable.

[Kuya]

It would probably rape in single player, but single player is not really why this thread is still alive.

Yeah, I gave it a go this evening to see how X performed and it was miserable. I'll stick to my Javelin I.

It's not in the single player campaign. They added it to multiplayer only with the Resurgence Pack DLC.

[Brill Weave]

Blech I hate the promote X number of characters events. I hate grinding. Anyone that wants to run some golds this week let me know. I'll be on today after 3:30pm est preparing.

PC or 360? If PC, what's your Origin ID?

[Brill Weave]

360. Probably should have specified that. Badumshaloooop is tag.

[Xanthe]

Bummer. If anyone is on PC, look for me as Xanthe81.

Here we go!

MASS EFFECT 3: REBELLION PACK

Reinforcements are being deployed to all N7 forces, bringing out some heavy hitters thanks to the new Mass Effect 3 Rebellion DLC Pack! Arriving on Xbox Live, the PlayStation Network and PC on Tuesday, May 29 (Wednesday, May 30 on the PSN in Europe), the Mass Effect 3 Rebellion Pack will be bringing you more gear, more weapons, more maps, and more kits, available at no additional cost for anyone who redeemed an Online Pass for Mass Effect 3 on PC, PS3 or Xbox 360.


The Rebellion Multiplayer Expansion opens two new fronts against the Reapers: Firebase Jade’s jungle reservoir and Firebase Goddess on Thessia. In-game reinforcement packs now include three new weapons (Reegar Carbine, Krysae Sniper Rifle, Cerberus Harrier) as well as equipment, consumables, and six new characters from species that have lost lives or whole planets to the Reapers: Quarian Engineer and Infiltrator, Vorcha Soldier and Sentinel, Ex-Cerberus Adept and Vanguard. The battle continues!


NEW CHARACTERS
Vorcha Soldier
- Thanks to their unique physiology and their Bloodlust ability, the Vorcha are joining the fight and are perfectly suited for the utilitarian soldier kit.

Vorcha Sentinel
- The innate aggressiveness found within the Vorcha make them shockingly durable combatants, and when coupled with their Flamer skill, the Vorcha sentinel is a force to be reckoned with.

Male Quarian Engineer
- Quarians have spent centuries at perpetual salvage and ship repair; the survival of their species depends on this technical expertise. When bringing the new Arc Grenade to the fray, the Quarians prove their prowess as effective engineers on the battlefield.

Male Quarian Infiltrator
- The Male Quarian Infiltrator must actively rely on stealth while in the heat of battle, and when they make use of their Tactical Scan ability, they quickly prove their mettle while continuously dishing out the pain.

Ex-Cerberus Vanguard
- When the Illusive Man turned to indoctrination in order to ensure the loyalty of his troops, many Cerberus operatives defected and joined the Alliance in order to stop the Reapers. Now that we’re on the same team, Ex-Cerberus Vanguards (along with their new Lash attack) are quickly proving their worth.

Ex-Cerberus Adept
- A result of the Illusive Man’s early experiments in enhanced human physiology, Ex-Cerberus subjects are highly skilled combat and biotics specialists. As a result, Ex-Cerberus Adepts can lay waste to the enemy with their Smash and Singularity powers.


NEW MAPS

Firebase Jade – Surrounded by huge waterfalls, Firebase Jade overlooks an ancient reservoir built by the salarians centuries ago. Set up strategic chokepoints inside the base’s main buildings to get the jump on your enemy, and work with your team to meticulously clear each room to achieve victory.

Firebase Goddess – Nestled in the epicenter of a Thessian metropolis, Firebase Goddess is one of the last strongholds of asari resistance against the Reapers. With its circular layout, Firebase Goddess is a tough location to control. This arena combines heavy cover and elevated firing positions, so stay light on your feet.


NEW WEAPONS

Cerberus Harrier Assault Rifle – These Cerberus-modified Mattock rifles are fully automatic. Cerberus gunsmiths reined in the recoil issues, resulting in a gun that stay on target, but delivers slightly less punch per round than a standard Mattock. As such, the weapon is typically utilized by Cerberus’ elite troopers, who train constantly to make every burst count.

Reegar Carbine Shotgun – This electrical weapon improves upon the arc pistol’s design by generating a sustained current on its target. This weapon is named for the Quarian Reegar family, whose marines have served valiantly against the Geth.

Krysae Sniper Rifle – This Turian antimaterial rifle is modified to kill Reaper enemies. The Krysae’s scope uses a rangefinder that adjusts to keep the target in proper proportion to the shooter, which comes in useful when the sniper is forced into close range. Its specialized ammunition is both armor-piercing and explosive. In a desperate move, the Turians released its specifications over the extranet so that nearly anyone with a fabricator could manufacture this weapon to help the war effort.

The Krysae Sniper Rifle sounds like it could be pretty good depending on the damage rating.
