"There once was a man who saved the Locust. He came back to save the Raptor. Now.... Once again he returns from dark space..... To save everything."
Ultimately, mass effect three Mp is a fun, action packed game. There are so many choices. So many stratagies one can choose.
However.
There are so many underachievers as well.
There is a damage economy is currently in wack.
In this thread, I will be making a proposal for every low-medium weight underachiever, based on comprable weapons, or based on a proposal given to another comparable weapon.
I will begin working on the next gun immidiately after I recieve critisim for the gun before it.
First, I am going to start out by revealing the two weapons that I will base most of the following changes on.
Locust:
Level X DPS: 467.
Accuracy: Very High.
Weight at X: .3
Special features:
Extiemely high and easy to achieve headshot DPS.
Easily customizable.
Given Sidearm treatment. -Indicator.
Tempest:
Level X DPS: 643.
Accuracy: Moderate (Easily counterable to: Moderate-High.)
Weight at X: .3
Special features:
Very solid automatic weapon.
Given sidearm treatment. - Indicator.
Why are we looking at these weapons?
These two guns currently serve as the baseline of what makes for an acceptable automatic weapon.
However, Not a single one of the upcoming .5 guns comes close to matching their performance, and much less actual utility to weight.
Utility?
I am using utility to refer to... Utility.
The relationship of how easy the item is, to how effective it is.
A hard to use weapon can be impossibly effecitve, but have low utility due to being.... Impossible to utilize normally, being overly specialized, or simply being unreliable.
An easy to use weapon could be weak, and thus maintain its low utility.... Due to being weak.
This represents how useable a weapon is.
In light of this, I lead you t the most unusable weapon in the game. The gun that must be addressed before we can make any progress on the other, "Rarer" .5 weight guns. If we don't have a well balanced basic assault rifle to pattern all the others off of, we are getting nowhere.
The Avengrer:
Current DPS at X: 400
Accuracy: High.
Weight at X: .5
Notes:
First weapon you will likely use in ME3 Mp.
Basic pattern for all assault rifles.
Very easy to use.
Whats wrong? Its basically the one gun you should never use. When you get it, there is already a better option just sitting there, at half the weight, and 50% more damage.
Worse: As long as this pattern for all the other low weight, sustained fire guns is unusable..... We simply cannot expect these other guns to get much better.
Imagine the Avenger as a post that all these other low level guns are chained too. If we dont move the post, nothings going to happen for our other guns in the .5 weight catagory.
Ultimately, this starter assault rifle needs to become able to compete with the .3 weight smgs.
My reccomendation:
Buff the damage by 30%
[321-401] to [428 to 521]
Wait? Why isn't it as strong as the tempest?
While it is heavier, its still far more accurate then the tempest. It has greater customizability, hence why it is getting bumped up to 521 as a basic boost.
The real problem was that its base damage per second was lower then the Locusts, while being much heavier.
Ultimately, its utility is left slightly higher then both .3 guns (Arguebly,) leaving it in a place where it is still suitable to be a starting weapon, but still effecitve enough to have a limited role right until the end of the game.
Next weapon:
Collectror Assault Rifle
Finished weapons:
Disciplre.
Geth Prulse Rifle
Scimitrar.
Evisceratror.
Katanar.
Vindicatror.
Phaestron.
Collectror Assault Rifle.

Retour en haut
I remember using it often in the demo. Haven't touched it in the full game like at all.... It's just not good...
