Javelin - shield gate penetration REMOVED

Kishock Harpoon Gun - shield gate penetration REMOVED

Krysae - damage nerfed TWICE, Rate of fire decreased, Recoil Increased, Zoom Recoil Increased, Total ammo capacity dropped. (In other words this gun is now a slow firing low damage useless piece of dren.

All Sniper Rifles - no longer get headshot bonus on bosses.

All Sniper Rifles - cannot penetrate shield gate.


Add this to the nerfs they gave to Infiltrator

Tactical Cloak - 90% of enemies see through this and 'look behind the curtain' to detect where u are.

Tactical Cloak - base cloaking decreased to 4 seconds!

Tactical Cloak - Evolution 6 Sniper Rifle Bonus Damage decreased by 15%

Shadow Strike - To risky to use in Gold or Platinum because enemies murder you during your strike animation (even when you cloak from cover before you use SS - even if you have TC evolution 6 'one free power use.'



You have successfully ruined an entire class, Bioware.

I don't remember there ever being shield gate removal of Javelin, Kishock. They never had it to begin with. Kishock had a bug that got fixed.

Also, how is 'SR' not bypassing shield gate making it useless? What other gun that shoots 1 bullet bypass shield gate?
Your claims of shieldgate do not hold up.

I haven't picked up a sniper since they removed boss headshots. I play only Gold/Platinum and every sniper rifle just sucks on anything higher than silver, due to shield gate.

The only sniper (Krysae) that was viable on Gold/Platinum, has now been nerfed to oblivion, imo.

Its still the point in ALL games HEADSHOTS 1 hit kill! Shield gate is boring and no fun to play with.
This game should have been like call of duty zombies. More enemies of the weaker type rushing you

Primes should also take headshot damage but the head should be covered by 2-3 armored plates that need to be knocked off with a power with enough force (calling for team work)

Shadow murders everything. You simply just don't cloak in line of sight. Geth can see you no matter what so that's what electric slash is for.

why not just remove the gun if they are going to nerf it to hell.

BW makes changes in a too drastic way, Infiltrator has gone to one of my most used chars to no use at all, is ridiculous, they should just reset the game and make everything be as it was when they released, some classes needed to be adjusted, its true, but they should make a pool about it or something to and not baise a nerf/ buff in one or two troll comments...

Shadow strike can be used reliably and effectively on Gold - you just have to be smart about picking your targets.  Haven't tried the Shadow on Platinum yet.

You're the type of person that would build a combat robot and then put the central processing unit in the head part, instead of the heavily armored torso.

Aren't you?

now that you make me think about it, a lot of weapons deal more raw body damage than a sniper headshot... to preserve sniper's niche, all SR should maybe ignore shieldgate. just my two cents, i dont usually use SR, why should i? my paladin is beyond good anyway

EDIT: also, shadow and SS are perfectly fine in gold and platinum. shadows arent supposed to be stationary as the rest of the team. they get to move around and should always SS targets busy attacking someone else. on every map u can run from an edge to the other in less than 10 seconds, be mobile. moreover, if something is attacking u in melee range, just dodge and SS straight away, enemies cant chain two melee attacks as much as they cant chain two dodge moves

Many use the Infiltrator, which is why I understand this is happening...but these changes are insane.

----> How is the Krysae Sniper Rifle useless? Have you played with it? because honestly, after reading what you said about it, looks like you don't know how to use it!

Useless, is a strong word. They are still good, just there are many guns that are so much better, even on Infiltrators.

Snipers do just fine on Gold, just play something other than Glacier.

Platinum.. yeah, seems like Shotguns are the kings of that.

The Paladin and Scoped Talon have been the best for a long time.

One sniper rifle, still questionably powerful, is made slightly harder to use - EVERYTHING RUINED FOREVER.

Anyone who wasn't a lazy arse using the most exploitable combos should be happy with this new set. They've fixed a very serious problem, and made Cobra missiles, used by the entire community all the time, much more effective in the emergency team collapse or revive-and-fire situations in which we use them. They also reduced the Typhoon's overall effectiveness from borderline overpowered to merely good without changing the way it shoots, which is good. If the Noob Launcher is weaker as a result, that's fine by me.

Also, OP, you are objectively wrong.
