Got Anything Nice From ME3 MP DLC Yet?

[RJ 17]

Lotta acronyms in that title...

Anyways, just curious what everyone's been getting from the new DLC. Out of 5 premium Specter packs and 2 standard specter packs I managed to get---

1 upgrade for my standard Widow (still don't have a B.Widow, btw), 10 old characters, and the Geth Plasma SMG which, I've got to say, I was pleasantly surprised to discover is actually pretty decent, unlike it's older brother the Pulse Rifle. Slap some Ultra Light Materials on that bad boy, give it to my Quarian Engineer and Turian Sentinel to give'em 200% recharge and just rock out with mah powahs. Gotta say it's nice to see a fully automatic weapon that leaves the target hurting (if not dead) after emptying an entire clip into them and not just mildly annoyed.

But on a related note, anyone got a Geth yet? If so, could you explain what the Hunter Mode ability does?

Only unlocked the Geth Plasma SMG.

Pretty good weapon actually.

100 base ammo, 500 in reserve, really quick rate of fire and the recoil is very easy to control, especially in cover.

I want the Asari Justicar and the Krogan Vanguard.

 

[Swyftstar]

I got the geth smg too. It is kind of cool. I have both Batarians. I don't know if I just havent figured out how to work them yet but so far they are rather underwhelming. I got the harpoon gun which is odd in that you have to charge up your shot so it takes a while to get used to the timing and damage wise, I am not sure if it's worth it to bother.

Yeah I'm actually pretty impressed with the Plasma SMG as well. Before getting it, I had completely written off the SMGs as being as worthless as the fully automatic assault rifles.

As I mentioned, it's a REALLY great weapon for my caster classes. I haven't been able to try it out in a "real" match (I started a solo game to see what it was like), but I've got a feeling it might be replacing my Carnifex.

From what I've seen of people that got the Batarians, that net is actually pretty damn useful. I heard one person describing the Blade Armor thing and that sounds like it could be incredibly useful if it works against Brutes and Phantoms (don't see why it wouldn't they attack with melee attacks).

But still, Batarian is the race I was least looking forward to.

 

[Andy Shandy]

Nope, but looking to get in a lot of MP tonight with three mates, so hopefully I should unlock something tonight. Hopefully the Asari Justicar or the Geth Infiltrator. Don't suppose anyone has received their Operation Raptor packs (the one for promoting people) yet by the way because I still haven't received mine =(

Why replace your Carnifex? With Ultralight Weight V on the Geth SMG I have 200% CD on any character with that and the Carinfex

I got the Asari Justicar, the new AR and the Geth SMG. SMG is decent but the AR is buggy and awful. Asari Justicar is awesome

I've seen a Justicar in action and she does seem pretty sweet, especially that frickin' bubble!

And you know what? You have a DAMN good point about that...I was actually doing just fine with the Carnifex (which for me is still a bit of a fatty, gives me great cooldown but not 200%) by itself soooooooo why don't I just keep it AND have the Geth SMG since it's essentially a free weapon that won't effect weight?

Thanks for pointing out that I was being a bit of a downy on that matter.

lol what's funny is that they actually have a forum pic for acronyms in a topic title! xD

Anyways, no, I don't think the Commendation Packs for Raptor have gone out yet, apparently there was a big problem and they're hoping to have them out by the end of the month. xP

-Snip-

I actually promoted my Adept at the end of the night last night and I am going to try and build the Justicar as a more weapon-based support character. I was originally going full caster offense and playing her like a Drell Adept, but taking another look at the defensive perks for the bubble as well as some of her others I think I am going to go full DR Reave+Full Defense Bubble and use a light sniper rifle or AR.

I'm seeing mention of the Ultralight Materials here. Did the Ultralight Materials get fixed? Before this patch, they'd be editing the percentage on the loadout screen, but they weren't actually changing the numbers on the powers screen or in-game. Effectively they were bugged and didn't actually do anything. If the mod works for real now though, it might actually be worth carrying SMGs on a few of my characters.

Anywho... had to work yesterday and didn't get out until late, so I only managed to play a couple Gold games before bed. After four Premium Spectre Packs, the only new content I got was the harpoon gun and a single rank up for it.

In other news, the harpoon gun kinda bites.

 

[Tohuvabohu]

I got the Geth Plasma SMG as well.

It's a pretty sweet gun. I only used it once with lightweight materials plus the Carnifex on my Turian Sentinel (Cooldown is around 180%) It's fast, has a huge clip, is even accurate at range, and easy to control. I only played one game on Gold last night with the SMG. I bought a Premium spectre pack after it was over, and got the Striker. Had to go to bed afterwards so I didn't get to use it yet.

However, in that one gold game, there was an Asari Justicar with us.

And I have a question. What exactly does the bubble do? I thought it protected you, reduces damage. so when she put it up, I stood out of cover and.... my shield got instantly taken out. Plus I had Tech Armor on. The various times our entire team stood inside her bubble, it just didn't seem to protect us from a damned thing.

Anyway, from what I heard, there's a lot of criticism regarding the Batarians. Blade Armor is apparently buggy, the blade blast takes really long to use and is comparable to a shotgun blast with a really long cooldown and buggy aim. The submission net apparently sucks because it just snares as opposed to stopping enemies and is unreliable to use.

^That is all the complaining I've heard regarding Batarians. Not sure how much of these are valid, or just people sucking. I still want a Batarian though and try it for myself.

Maybe someone here who has a Batarian can shed some light on this.

The net is actually kind of cool. It will snare and stop a single target but it is a direct aim ability. As in, it will not track and curve like other abilities, you have to aim down your sites to use it. I haven't found a way to really use it to its fullets potential yet though. The armor appears to be doing nothing. The blade blast is completely useless as far as my friend and I can tell. It's range is really short even when putting the point in to increase it, there is a half second to a second delay as it fires and it does fuck all for damage. Maybe we just aren't using it right but it appears to be absolutely broken as far as I can tell.

Edit: Also, Batarians apparantly count as one of the larger races so you get no dodge or roll.

I got the harpoon gun which is odd in that you have to charge up your shot so it takes a while to get used to the timing and damage wise, I am not sure if it's worth it to bother.

So THAT'S why it sucked so much. That, and I just could NOT adjust to the weird firing arc. I aimed at 100 heads and hit none of them, apparently, as I got no headshot credit with it.

I hate charge guns. Except the Plasma Shotgun, which is pure sex. In shotgun form.

The mod is still bugged for all the SMG except Geth SMG for some reason. I have no idea how they managed that.

 

[Kopikatsu]

I probably would have gotten something good by now if the DLC didn't fail to authorize for some reason (A problem that a lot of other people are having apparently) and EA/Bioware's support didn't ignore us from day one. (It started with From Ashes for some people, who also can't get this, and who still haven't had any word from support)

 

[Tuesday Night Fever]

The mod is still bugged for all the SMG except Geth SMG for some reason. I have no idea how they managed that.

That's pretty disappointing. I would have liked having a near-weightless Tempest or Hurricane. At least the Geth SMG sounds like it's pretty good, though.

I can only imagine how hilarious it is with an extended magazine and a heat sink, especially in the hands of a Turian Soldier with Marksman.

It's hilarious. The damn thing shoots longer than the Revenant with an extended mag does.

Also has a LOT more stopping power than the Revenant, which was the super AR from ME 2.

With my extended mag mod I had it up to 180 shots and it is pretty accurate from long range for a smg.
As for the Revenant, I don't know if they buffed it or made some corrections but the damn thing is beastly now. In the hands of a human soldier with Adrenaline Rush or a Turian with Marksman you can mow through enemies with it.

 

[ZehMadScientist]

So far I've unlocked the Geth Plasma SMG like seemingly everyone, and the Striker Assault rifle.

Now, for those who haven't gotten their hands on a Falcon yet, it's absolutely useless. So I wasn't all that excited for my new shiny DLC assault rifle that shoots grenades. So I randomly slapped it on a Salarian engineer to see what it could do. Then came the lulz; the recoil of that thing was so ridiculous it was funny.

Then I tried it again with a turian soldier and a stability mod. The result: It has a downward recoil now. Wat.

Though not really that impressive a weapon, it is a lot of fun to Leroy Jenkins away with it though.
