To those of you who used any of the following.


Armour Piercing Ammo
Warp Ammo

Marksman


Why do you choose these for the soldier?

I've used Marksman on a Soldier, and I did it because I have a preference for automatic weapons and an unhealthy love for incendiary ammo. Figured it would be a match made in heaven. It wasn't quite that, but it was pretty good.

Overall, it puts out more damage than ARush using the full autos that I like, but it does so at the expense of the defense and bonus power abilities I usually spec for. At the time, Marksman didn't give a free reload either. It was good but felt somewhat less dynamic than ARush.

I've been using Marksman a good bit in MP lately, so I may be inspired to give it another go in SP. It makes my beloved Revenant into the beast she was in ME2.

Have they patched the free reload into SP Marksman?

I've used both AP and Warp for the Typhoon. It's a toss-up, really. Incendiary provides lots of crowd control but doesn't do as much against bosses with that gun as AP or Warp.

I don't believe the Marksman free reload made it into SP...

One nice thing about running AP ammo is that you can get cover penetration without running the Piercing mod... so you could run something else like the extended mag mod.

Limited use, but it is an option... so something like Harrier with Extended Barrel and Extended Mag, or Saber, etc.

Incendiary Explosive Burst does so much damage that usually you have to find some sort of odd reason not to run it though.

Fortification/ AP / Marksman / Carnage /Inferno Grenade.
Take your pick. As a Soldier you'll rely on tactics anyway.

I don't know why people are picking according to "lore" for a bonus power - they're kind of more pigeonholing based on class.

I mean, a Soldier having biotics due to Cerberus shenanigans, but preferring not to use them (except maybe for a little cheeky mind-control) isn't that far-fetched. Might even be mentioned in the fluff somewhere, some datapad or codex entry, meh.

That said, I'd personally stack it with Marksman, but that's just a gut feeling, not personal experience.

Marksman can't stack with Adrenaline Rush.

Because it's min-maxing and makes the game far easier than it already is.

There is a line Kaidan says to you in ME1 that people interpret to mean that all Shepard's are biotic.  I think it is really more of a bugged conversation bit.  It is about Shepard's biotic implant (which is one generation newer than Kaidan's), and lack of side effects.

Player activates marksman during Adrenaline Rush.

Imagine how overpowered that would be.

Slightly less overpowered than using it under Tac Cloak?
