I hate the new heavy pistol, pretty much useless imho. On the other hand the geth shotgun does massive damage - provided you fully charge it. But even not fully charged, it is a beast. Maybe not the best shotgun for a Vanguard, but great for Soldier. The new assault rifle is great, too bad it has low ammo count.

I played around on Tuchanka with all three in this short video.

Ok so I tried out all the new weapons.
So far, I really like the Phalanx. It can take down collectors in two shots, Collector Assassins in three, and those posessed collectors in about 4-5. Great use and a great substitute for a sniper rifle if you are confined to a pistol and shotgun. But you need to aim carefully, because of its low ammo count. But a great weapon overall. Im guessing that all of the haters out there are just annoyed at the laser (which is awesome, btw) and its slow firing speed. But its massive damage makes up for it.

The plasma shotgun is also cool. havent tried it out on enemies yet, but it took out crates from a considerable distance away, if that means anything. I plan on arming my squadmates with it.

The Mattock Heavy Rifle is probably only for those people who play as soldiers who like to hang back and fight. For up close combat Im going to say that it is not suited at all, but at least it has amazing accuracy. But personally, I prefer the Revenant, I like medium-short range combat. The new rifle isnt for me, but for those infiltrator types who are playing as soldiers, this gun is awesome for you. But what I do like about it is that you get near-sniper rifle accuracy without losing the combat awareness that a sniper rifle scope gives.

So would I buy this DLC?
My opinion: YES!

Has anyone tried these with your squadmates yet? I know when I got the Incisor Sniper Rifle it was a BEAST for Garrus, Thane, and Zaeed. Just wonder if these will be deadly in the hands of your team.

Jack had the shotgun in my video, but I just did what you see there so far, so I don't know for sure.

I worked out that the amount spent on the priced dlc is only slightly over the amount that they probally could of charged but gave out for free over the cerberus network.

You can precharge the shotgun, charge and then hit someone with the full load, I think this actually offers some great possibilities for a vanguard. Definitly my new favourite gun so far.

My god, the AR sounds like a bolt action sniper rifle, but with rapid succession.

Oh really? I never tried that. Maybe I'm wrong about it noting being a good vanguard gun.

Damn, I wish I had picked Assault Rifle for my Engineer now instead of Sniper Rifle, that Mattock is sick.

I know, just listening to the Mattock is awesome, reminds me of the M-19 Garand  :)

Hmm, interesting. The new shotty might just cure my Katana fetish. The Mattock looks promising, especially considering how the Locust is essentially an Assault Rifle.

Javier, any chance you could ask Christina to update her Gameplay Data topic or just give us all relevant stats?

Yeah I was happily suprised you could do that. I'm sure the devs deliberatly made the shotgun keep the charge to make it attractive for Vanguards.

I like all the weapons. The geth plasma shotgun is not a shotgun. It is a cross between shotgun and heavy weapons. My claymore can be sitting dust in my weappons locker.

Yea, I think it might be better for Engineers and Adepts to pick up AR specialization now. At least until some newer weapon DLC is released.

Man, I'm glad I did that for my engineer and adept profiles a while back. What irony.

The pistol is disappointing. It's a Camiflex with a laser sight. I was hoping for a large capacity, lower power armor piecing pistol w/ lots of ammo. A futuristic version of the FN Five Seven pistol. 20 round mag, 120-140 reserve rounds.

It seems like I'll keep using the Predator.


The locust is pretty good.   It kind of made shotguns and sniper rifles more appealing for advanced weapons training.

The new geth shotgun is pretty good.   Hide in a corner, charge, pop out to deliver a face full of plasma.  Very nice.
Seems like it's tailor made for assault sentinels and soldiers.  Mattock is pretty hard to pass up, though.

Just gave it a try. You're right, and it is a beast. The only problem I have is that you can't charge while in cover. Beyond that, you're hitting a group of people at once with a big blast, and then shooting them again just as fast with normal shots.

Man the new AR sounds ballsy in the Youtube vid! I was always bit dissapointed in ME2s lack of weapon variety, (should have gotten Collectors Edition for less bad impressions, but at the time I didnt know that ME2 completely revisioned the weapons system) but this new DLC definetly improves the situation a LOT. We got Eviscerator and Locust earlier, (heavy weapons dont count as my squad cants use them) and now these 3 new badass weapons. Finally there is enough variety to satisfy me.

Yeah, and the reload time seems VERY quick...

Unfortunately where I work they put the block on YouTube.  I'll check it out when I get home though.  Thanks.

Geth Pulse Gun is awesome, but it cannot one-shot regular guys unless you charge it, and you do not have the time to do that after you charge a group. It also runs out of ammo quite easily. On the other hand, it has insane range for a shotgun. Does not beat Claymore in my book, but it instantly became my second most favourite shotgun. I will most definitely use it on my Soldier and Engineer!

The new AR is just sick, not great ammo count but does insane damage and you can fire it pretty quickly, beats Vindicator in my opinion.

I do not really care for Pistols in general, but Hand Cannon seems better than the new Pistol.
