[ReapersFTW]

DR - Damage reduction?

[XPMUser]

AoE - Area of Effect

[Tenkawa]

@Tangster - I figured AP is rather generic and is used by the game a fair amount, so is not needed for this list. It is mainly for abbrevs used on these boards, which can be confusing to new players.

So people can read: I did a run on FBW with a gengineer using a GPS, but the damn AA used a BW and a shotty. Their CD was nuts so they couldn't CC.

[D Amiri]

Novaguard = human Vanguard. Also VG and just Vanguard almost always refers to human Vanguard.

AR - Adrenaline Rush
TA- Tech armor
BB- Ballistic Blades
BW- Bioware

[Arkley]

RoF - Rate of Fire - is a pretty common one. Lots of people refer to the HV as Novaguard, too. I notice you included FBW, you may want to include a brief explanation of how FBW/G refers to a specific strategy for fighting Geth on FBW, rather than simply being an acronym for the area & enemy.

[akula51]

CQC = Close Quarters Combat (i.e., melee).

Ah, good idea. Some input:

PM - Proximity Mine
HM - Hunter Mode
TA - Tech Armor
AH - Advanced Hardware
MM - Marksman
OL - Overload
BA - Blade Armor
Passive/Racial - the race-specific 4th skill, such as Asari Justicar, Alliance Training or Networked AI
Kroguard's another name for the KV/KBM

Also, just fyi, you have Geth Plasma Rifle instead of Pulse Rifle.

Note, you have Sentinels and Soldiers abbreviations the same (eg: HS, TS)... I guess it's pretty easy to pick up out of context though...

[XCPTNL]

Your soldiers and sentinels use the same abbreviations, except the Batarian...

HM - Hunter Mode
PM - Proximity Mine
AP - Armor Piercing (mod or ammo)

edit: dammit, ninja'd

I have seen them used in both cases, so meh.

Quick update - no longer adding the thanks parts in the listings... taking too long when updating.

If this thread survives the day in the first couple pages I'll put a Thanks to list at the bottom which lists all the contributors.

But what does ADS (which people use to mean right-click aim) stand for?

[sobbos]

The laziness is astounding.

Aim down sight

[InstaShark]

Gethgineer is also a variation. I've seen people use that as well (I use it myself)

Thanks, I would have never gotten that

[Tenkawa]

[InstaShark]

Oh, "rez" (as in reviving/resurrecting teammates) isn't in here, either.

Just wanted to point that out.
