Got Anything Nice From ME3 MP DLC Yet?

[Daystar Clarion]

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.

The Falcon is a new weapon too?

I got that one as well then.

It's absolutely fucking awful

Some shots curve for no reason, some shots don't seem to explode, shots don't explode on impact.

The gun is terrible.

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.

I'll take your word for it, because last time I tried my Rev IV with my Turian Soldier it was absolutely worthless. But at this point I've completely written off the entire Soldier class as a lost-cause.

The Falcon isn't new, but before the Striker came out it was the only assault rifle/grenade launcher.

As for the new one, though, yeah I've hard that it's buggy as crap. Essentially only 2 out of every 3 shots actually works, so every third shot you're essentially shooting a blank.

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

Yeah, I can confirm this happening.

When I first started playing I had a Turian Soldier spec'd for recoil reduction and accuracy increases that I equipped with a Vindicator assault rifle and used the Recoil Dampener V and Scope V for mods.

Whenever I was behind cover and using Marksman, the recoil would actually drag the second and third rounds from my burst downward.

The Falcon isn't new, but it is pretty awful. It used to shoot pretty fast, but when I used it again recently, it shoots insanely slow. Not sure wtf happened there.

Also: Downward recoil happens when you overdo recoil mitigation. I guess the game doesn't stop "reducing" recoil once you get to 0%. lol wat

Krogan Vanguard, 1500hp and 1500 Shields, 80% damage Reduction.

Continuously charge and melee primes on Silver without a care in the world, no matter if im sorrounded by hunters, pyros and missle troopers.

BEST TANK EVER!

No, the Falcon has always been available, but the new assault rifle that came with the DLC, the Striker, resembles the Falcon in that it is a grenade launcher, therefore the comparison. (Sorry if that was a little confusing)

Anyway, yes, the Falcon is absolutely horribad for the exact reasons you listed. The new Striker is basically an automatic version of the Falcon actually works (mostly). Do use as a soldier only though, the recoil is out of this world otherwise.

yeah, as soon as I read the announcement of a Krogan Vanguard I couldn't help but sigh to myself and say "They just had to fucking do it, didn't they? Human Vanguard charge-nova apparently wasn't a ridiculous enough tactic, now they literally just gave us a battering ram and said "We all know you wanted to do this from the start, so go have your fun!" "

Seriously, as if regular bull-headed charging vanguards weren't enough...now they gave them Krogan durability?

its stupidly awesome and fun, because the Vanguard is so big, he literally stands taller than the Krogan Soldier and Sentinel, he cant take cover.

His humps gets hit no matter where you take cover, so you have to continously run around charing to recharge your shields and meeleing o activate the enhanced Damage Reduction, not to mention they gave it a Barrier Boost that practically increases your meele and Power Damage and Damage reduction by a freaking lot.

Its a fun class and I will probably be using it instead of my Human Vanguard from now on, specially since I can now Carry a Mattock instead of a Phalanx or Carnifex without troubles.

Ive tried playing with Shotguns but I just cant get into them.

Yeah, I think the idea behind Krogan Vanguard was that they took a look at the regular vanguards, saw what people liked to do with them (i.e. act like morons and charge into big groups and wreck house on bronze or get destroyed on silver/gold) and decided "You know what? Let's give'em what they obviously want..." And thus the Battlemaster was born!

As for shotties, about the only two that are worth a damn is the Geth Plasma Shotgun (most would say this is the best one in the game) and the Graal Spike Thrower.

well ive been using mine to draw fire from the big mobs and to keep the objectives safe for others.

I like being able to take sustained fire for more than 5 seconds without having to charge to restore barriers. And since my size blocks off completely all other players I can now acts a a portable cover for them when they are in trouble.

Ive never had so much fun fighting Hunters as I did with the Krogan Vanguard, most of the time when we got surrounded, they would turn tail and run away from me to try and get to the other players.... in fact almost all of the enemies have done this with the exception of Brutes, Primes, Banshes and Atlases, even Phantoms dont want to deal with my Vanguard now, Specially after I broke ones blade with a Meele after Charging, I didnt even know Krogans could do that.

 

[Elamdri]

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.

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.

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

How are you getting 200% cooldown with a Carnifex. The most I can get it to is 160%

I have the Rank 4 Talent for weight capacity and Carnifex X.

 

[RJ 17]

Specially after I broke ones blade with a Meele after Charging, I didnt even know Krogans could do that.

I've only managed to break 1 Phantom sword and that was in the campaign during the end of the Kai Leng fight. Didn't really get to see what difference this makes to their behavior as I broke the sword with a B.Widow shot that was just slightly off...the next shot wasn't. :3

Oh, I only have the Rank I. Is the weight difference between I and X really worth 40%?

Look, you guys might be god's gift to the Vanguard class, or it might just be that every single random vanguard that I've played with doesn't know what they're doing, but here's my experience with Human Vanguards on Silver:

Charge-Nova combo to the other side of the map, get overwhelmed and shot down. Insert whining because no one comes to pick them up...maybe because they're on the opposite side of the map and there is now an army between them and the rest of the squad.
