Imagine if we had adrenaline gear.

Then at least it would be a three way in terms of best gear.


Adrenaline 3 only gives 20% and its a huge difference. I think if we have such a gear it would be 10% tops.

With the advent of the Geth Scanner, Thermal Scopes are now officially obsolete in every single way.

Why risk tunnel vision to see through walls when you can slap a Scanner on and see through walls all the time without scoping in? Why make your weapon 50% heavier when you can just take a normal enhanced scope, and use the Geth Scanner?

Most importantly of all, why are the Thermal Scopes and Geth Scanner all Rare cards, when one so clearly outclasses the others?


I never use the Geth Scanner nor the Thermal Scopes. If I want a Thermal Scope, I pick up the Javelin. Hunter mode/tactical scan/Recon mine for the Rest. Honestly, there are so much ways of finding enemies, Geth Scanner is just the tip of the iceberg.

I don´t see the advantage in Geth Scanner for more than simple Speedrunning purposes where you want to find the enemy as fast as possible, when a simple look around the corner does the Same for you. Also many people by now know the layouts of the maps of by heart and can exactly tell where an enemy has taken cover. I find myself 50% or more of the time simply penetrating walls with Armor piercing mods.

Why run there and become tired, when you can simply shoot them? :devil:

15% would be my guess (too hopeful?) 

Yeah but can you imagine what the game would be like with adrenaline gear? :o

I totally would not taunt people by running laps around them using drells. 

Imagine 12.5% speed boost with 2 extra nades :o

Darn, I quote the wrong one. It was meant to be that guy that naged that he didn't use it because he couldn't see with it. :D

I don't use Thermal Scopes anyway. I don't use Scopes at all. I hate scopes.

You have only failed at calibrating your monitor correctly. Or your eyes are oversensitive and you should go see a doctor, go out from the dark room you sit in at least once a day or you could just B).

It's a bit of a crutch and makes for lazy situational awareness.

Is there anything in this game that isn't (apart from explosive ammo obviously)?

Agreed, it makes solo games a lot easier. If you get used to using the GS on most of your characters, that could hurt your situational awareness when not using it.

Explosive Ammo is a crutch!

It makes dead abominations stagger after their corpse exploded!

I'm still trying to find a use for that stuff (explosive ammo). 

I REFUSE TO GIVE UP UNTIL I FIND SOME LEGITIMATE USE FOR IT!!! :wizard:

If you need a Thermal scope, you're doing it wrong.


Pfft...Shuddup, heathen! TS is awesome on the Valkryie. 

Does anyone else find it funny that Geth are like the top race? Like, 75% of their kits are top-tier, they've at least one top-tier weapon, cause a lot of mission failures as an enemy, and have even got their hands in the Gear making business, coming up with one of the top-tier perma-gears. I feel like if support would've gone on longer, we'd have gotten Juggernaut Cyclonics and Stagger ammo.

I played a Juggernaut when one of my friends played a drell. He spent the whole match running in circles around my Juggernaut. :lol:

That's partly why I don't use it.  Plus on my geth that have it I spec HM fully, with "Speed & Vision" plus the extra damage.   Can't accept the poor substitute that is Geth Scanner gear!

I'm trying it on the Argus.  It has a burst fire of three rounds.  I'm thinkin that is what BW may have intended it for due to the way the gimped the ammo. 

Weapons like the Vindicator (3 rounds), Valkyrie (2 rounds), maybe even the Shuriken (though it's a 6 round burst). I've been trying to see if it's been effective if you move shots around a group of enemies.

Example, group of Cerberus Assault Troopers.   Shoot one with a burst, then move on to another one, move on the another one, and then back too the first.  Repeat cycle.

The only issue is that most of the enemies it would be effective on die from the rounds themselves not the explosive damage. 

I'm not giving up yet though, it has to have some effective use case.

^ try it on the carnifex or paladin. Both of those guns seem to nail the ideal conditions for explosive ammo. Scorpion work with it too with some rather funny diuble staggers.
