Except that most people playing the game don't read the forums, so this won't help them.

Also, the shredder mod does still counter armor damage resistance on the GPS, but doesn't pierce.

No it doesn't.

For the love of the Asari Goddess, do not try to start on Platinum. You are not that good. In fact, you probably shouldn't even start on Gold.

You know what, don't even go to Silver till you have at least one level 20 character. I remember how hard even Bronze was when first starting out.

The GPS has no DR. 

What I meant was that equipping a shredder mod on the GPS allows it to do more damage to armor.

I thought it ignored armor mitigation altogether?

He's saying it doesn't. Shredder would only do that by decreasing armour's DR. The GPS bypasses armour DR completely.

Huh, okay, learned something new today. Good to know it's not just good for staggering phantoms.

Tactical cloak doesn't work on escorts. Enemies won't see you, but it doesn't power the drone and we go slower.

Apparently it does, which I didn't know. My bad, sorry.

It doesn't get affected by that 50 point reduction. But Shredder Mod does nothing on it.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT invest any points into Biotic Charge. Unless you plan on hosting games all the time, DO NOT invest in Biotic Charge.

[Mgamerz]

Nuking an enemy (or killing many within about a second including the target) on assassination objectives allows the game to spawn a non-boss target since the budget requirement lowers and may encompass a hunter or missile trooper instead of a prime for example. If you don't nuke many, it can only spawn the same unit again, and it will be forced to be the target.

Take it on your GE and you'll not find it lacking in damage.

Air Vanguard can affect hosts too.
And it is not limited to vanguards.

Nice, smart stuff. Also if you don't want to waste a missle on a turret, aim at the ceiling if you can. Floors and walls work in a pinch as we know

[Ice Cold J]

Don't know if it's already in here, but you cannot use Pistol Ultralight Mod with Extended Clip Mod.

For those new to the ME universe:

Overload, Energy Drain are designed to attack barriers (purple) and shields (blue).

Concussive Shot does pretty well against barriers.

Reave works best against armor (yellow) and barriers.

Carnage and warp are really only useful against armor.

Arc grenades = shield/barrier destroyers.

Inferno grenades = anti-armor grenades.

I've seen WAAYYY too many players in MP trying to use overload on armored targets or warp on shielded targets. Don't waste your cooldown time. Use a different ability.

[Frosty10001]

You can shoot your Arc Pistol while performing any kind of power. (At least, I think you can for all of them.)

[L.ast L.ife]

A helpful tip?

Warping shields is ok if you're priming for an explosion though, since it'll do decent damage. And you might aswell overload armoured targets if  you're a geth engineer with no biotics on the team, since it won't get in the way, might set up some tech bursts and does a little damage to suppliment your gun and don't have much in the way of offensive powers. But I assume you ment peolpe spamming them and wondering why they take so long to kill.

On a related note, if your a fury, asari adept or human sentinel and someone techs over your warp/dark channel, use throw twice. You'll get the tech burst and an explosion. Don't clutter the forum complaining about engineers ruining you BEs.

got this playing with friends. on pizza delivery missions you can use covers to move faster especially on rio there's a long passage with side railings.

Like some folks just don't know that the shredder mod doesn't do jack for the GPS. Or that the ultralight materials doesn't change your cool down times on the Hurricane unless you're carrying a pistol with ultralight as well. I see things like this in lobbies all the time.

So thought it might be a cool thread(if it hasn't been done already) to post verified tips and such. Hypothesis and theories should be a separate thread however. But question here should be welcome I think...

The shredder mod only works when you charge the GPS but yeah its still a waste to use one.  The graal is like that too.

Mmmm only partially true. With a QMI, due to the damage bonus from Tac Cloak, you can afford to spec them for armour effectiveness rather than shield overload. So it becomes an all-around super effective grenade. You can wipe out a spawn of Brutes and Ravagers on gold with 3 cloaked nades.

[The BLVD Knight]

Oh and does anyone know about what the distance is regular enemies can see you while cloaked? I think Primes and Hunters can always see you right?

Doesn't seem to be much of a problem on XBox, so YMMV.

You can avoid being staggered by shooting from cover

[Nuisance78]

You're allowed to use Rockets and Medi-Gel, Seriously you can use them you cant bring them into the real world and you cant sell them.

[ADPowah]

In pizza delivery, heavy melee Krogan attacks can cause you to move faster and get a DR bonus. Other characters move faster strafing or walking backwards.
