If something is OP because it takes no skill to do good with. Why isn't Geth Scanner OP?

I'd argue it does for people who are very good - geth scanner finds them the spawns first, and of course if you're late to a spawn
when with good players there's not much
left to fight over.


Yeah that part is true. I guess I should've clarified. I mean "make a big difference" as in how well someone performs in the game and how good they are. Skills are constant regardless of kit / equipment used

not sure about this,   using a GS in a team coop game might help you find the enemy quicker,  certainly won't help you kill things any quicker.

It'll help you see what's swarming your homie when he's down and you're on the way for a revive.

I would call it useful.

It doesn't reveal spawns unless you are close to them, and that also comes with experience not the gear.

Geth Scanner V is the most OP gear for all Non-Geth kits, there is no argument about it.

 

Grenade Capacity V would like to have a word with you.

Geth Scanner in a team game is pretty much a scorewhoring piece of equipment - it doesn't boost your survival as much as in a solo match, but at this point you see stuff that your teammates don't, allowing you to find the enemies faster.

 

I would say it is overrated in team games except maybe for teleport dodge characters or those with powers to spam through walls.  You have extra clues where the enemies are in a team game and really the enemy locating ability isn't even as important as in a solo.  I don't disagree that some people might use it with the intent to scorewhore, but honestly I don't even see this piece of equipment enough in team games to think it is as commonly used for this as Armored Compartments or Grenade Capacity.

I am thouroghy addicted to my Geth Scanner.

 

Super powerful; while using this in a full team game I tend to both score higher (than I may have in the same group anyways) and end up needing less med-gels / ops packs.

I just unlocked it myself, but don't plan to use it. I don't care whether something is considered OP--the fun factor is more important for me and HM has always ruined it for me a little. Armored compartments and grenade capacity don't bother me, but BEs do a little (damage scales to the difficulty level? C'mon).

Here's how combos scale (as a damage multiplier):

 

Bronze: 1.5
Silver: 2.25
Gold: 3.375
Platinum: 4.3875

http://social.biowar...14041340-1.html

 

This was to ensure that the same number of BEs would kill the same enemy type on any difficulty. Huh, I wonder why my Predator doesn't behave like this??! Cheesy space magic that's why. Then again combos don't benefit from gear, and weapon power creep over the last year really makes them far weaker in comparison nowadays.

Weapons are scaled: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Ultra-Rare.

What do you mean in regards to the BE scaling?
