Call Chuck Noris! He'll go ape sh*t on them poor reapers.

[The Good Shephard]

I think we're overcomplicating our strategies.

All we need is to call this guy and tell him what's going down.



Reaper's will never know what hit them.

lol hackin a reaper? thats the funniest I've ever heard, all of our technology is given from them (ex. mass relays, those are created by reapers, duh?), do you really think they would be stupid enough to get hacked by us? no way. Also, using nuclear weapons? really? think of the repercussions... Not worth it. Besides, I don't think think bioware would just end the franchise with, "yeah lets just nuke everything." You have to think of something else beyond modern techs, everything we have is significantly weak compare to their advance technology and massive forces. I'm sure Bioware will come up with something awesome for us.

we pee on them

Im going to say there will be several ways to kill them. Im thinking certain situations might give you different outcomes. These outcomes will be created by certain decisions you made or didnt make. ME3 has to show in depth the consequences of decisions made in the previous 2. In my opinion we havent seen many changes to anything by our decisions.

assuming reapers cannot directly conrol mass relays without control of the citadel and that they are manuverable into any position, smaller multidrirecional mass relays might be cnverted into giant mass accelerator weapons that work on the same principal as all the other small arms in the game. maybe this is the same kind of weapon that killed the derelict reaper. refitting relays wold be much faster and simpler than building entire new weapons systems that would be necessary to kill reapers otherwise. firing a matalic asteroid towed into position at a reaper at nearly the speed of light aught to do the trick just fine i think. let me know if there is a problem with my theory.

[Anacronian Stryx]

1. Mass Relays does not work on the same principal as the small arms fire.
2. How do you plan on refitting a mass relay when nobody has even been aboard one or even knows how they work?
3. mass relays are way to inaccurate to be used as any kind of weapon(if that was possible) - drift of several thousand kilometers aren't uncommon.

Maybe a large-scale antimatter bomb might work maybe in the 500 to 800 megaton range.The antimatter could come from multiple Citadel and Systems Alliance navy ships since thier sublight engines react normal matter with antimatter or Shepard and squad from his team could aquire some from a antimatter production facility and the normal matter could be deuterium or helium-3 aquired from planets and mixed with uranium or plutonium aquired from high level radioactive waste from a spent fuel rod storage facility.I'm assuming that is the case since Humanity is still storing radioactive waste such as spent fuel rods that comes from obsolete fission reactors that have been dismantled since Humanity developed efficient fusion reactors to power their cities.

Attack it with an entire fleet of Alliance vessels?

I'm betting there's going to be a plot device that sort of functions as a death trigger for the reapers. Like, maybe some artifact in dark space that kills off the reaper's organic part and shuts down the cybernetic parts.

You wouldn't need nearly that much. 50 megatons should be more than enough. You could probably be good with 10-15, 20 if you want to be sure, and 50 if you just like big explosions.

[25ryanator]

Good point.Given enough of the raw materials and resources it would be possible to manufacture multiple antimatter bombs in the 10 to 15 megaton range so instead of one massive bomb you would have multiple smaller bombs that could be spread among the Reaper fleet and detonated so that way you would ensure not a single Reaper survived and the Reapers cycle of extermination would be broken forever.On the resources and raw materials side you would have a fairly big supply of all the resources especially the uranium and plutonium since those specific raw materials could be aquired in bulk in the form of spent fuel rods from obsolete fission reactors that Humanity has dismantled since developing efficient fusion reactors that powers their cities.So using antimatter weapons/bombs is viable way of destroying and stopping the Reapers and their cycle of extermination.

How to kill a Reaper? We use a nuke.... and when that's not enough... use more nukes XD

Council: Shepard are you sure?! Using the Mass Relay as a weapon could backfire with terrible results! There's simple no way to be accurate enough for hitting a specific target!
Shepard: Trust me on this. FIRE!

*Shepard launches a metallic asteroid through the Mass Relay aimed at an advancing Reaper fleet*

*A tiny explosion is seen on the galaxy map*

Shepard: Did we hit it? EDI what happened?
EDI: Commander... my sensors indicate that the Citadel has just been destroyed by an asteroid...

The general idea of using a mass relay as a gigantic mass accelerator weapon is a very bad idea since there are so many variables and also there are things that could go wrong since slugs fired from a mass accelerator are not guided projectiles and the mass relay if you attemped to use it as a weapon might just explode and destroy the system the relay is in just like what happened to the Viper System in short it is a practical and political unviable idea.

[25ryanator]

A potential idea is a prototype scaled up GARDIAN laser/particle beam cannon with large focussing lenses and high powered particle accelerators powered by multiple fusion reactors and build into the hull of a dreadnaught.The layout would be as follows:foward section and bow would house the scaled up GARDIAN laser/particle beam cannon,midsection living quarters with the bridge above it on plyons and connected to the living quarters via high-speed lifts and finally the stern which would house the reactors,sublight engines,ftl drive core,life support,antimatter containment chambers,fuel tanks for the reactors and sublight engines,liquid nitrogen coolant tanks and finally disruptor torpedo and nuclear weapon storage bays.

A high-powered GARDIAN would be a great weapon as it would bypass the Reaper's shields entirely. It'd have to be pretty damn powerful though.

[25ryanator]

Anyway you would need alot of electricity to power it maybe it could be a planet based GARDIAN laser you would have a facility designed like a fortress with the multiple reactors underground and the laser on a big tower like the AA cannon towers you see during the Virmire mission from ME1 the facility would have external and internal defenses such as machine gun turrets,autocannons,YMIR heavy mechs,Mako infantry fighting vehicles and stationary anti-vehicle cannon turrets and for internal defense you would have celling mounted dual machine guns,soldiers on patrol,LOKI mechs and kinect barrier emitters in all hallways and room entrances.You would also have hangers for A-61 Mantis gunships,starfighters and interceptors.For anti-ship defenses you would have AA cannons of the same type that Saren used on Virmire.

Violence. And lots of it.

[Sebbe1337o]

22 megaton is a little overkill since you could destroy the mass effect core with bullets. And that shield in front of it wont hold for the millions of degrees of heat that will spread through the room when a nuclear bomb explodes inside.

[matt-bassist]

nuclear bomb? please. stop being so primitive.

Grab the Hulk from the Marvel universe, and let him smash them to pieces, best he is the strongest there is. Or let Deadpool talk them to death.

What about a virus that weakens them, but not totally kills them off?

[25ryanator]

A possible idea is a freighter packed with deuterium and helium-3 and it's fusion reactor overloaded so it explodes and detonates the deuterium and helium-3 in a massive thermonuclear explosion.Here's how it could work:you get the biggest freighter for sale and enlarge it then modify the fusion reactor to overload and self-destruct on command and pack the ship with as much deuterium and helium-3 as you can fit into the ship.To pilot the ship just get a standard ship VI and programm it to ram Harbinger and overload the fusion reactor just before the ship impacts Harbinger hopefully that would kill/destroy Harbinger and deprive the Reapers of a leader.
