Just curious how this is calculated. I didn't realize Cryo IV had such an impact here. Also, does every Cryo round hit vs. armor apply the bonus, or only ones that successfully prime?

 

Cryo IV (as with warp IV) weakens armor by 65%.  From what I understand it's instantaneous, rather than relying on sustained 'priming' effect.

 

This will be applied to the 'non-ignored' portion of the enemy armor being affected by the Cryo ammo (HVB ignores 90% of armor; AP mod ignores 65%).

For HVB the Cryo contribution is 0.65*(100%-90%) ==> 6.5%

For AP mod the Cryo contribution is 0.65*(100%-65%) ==> 22.75%

 

When you fully account for armor being ignored by weapon mod AND weakened by Cryo ammo, this yields 96.5% for HVB and 87.75% for AP Mod.

Two. Meaning 3 mooks per clip. Have fun getting that out of a BW 

Try using it with Volus Sent. >< It takes 3

Shadow w/ Viper and Talon., aka Free Headshots For Everyone!

Yes, Viper. You need to get headshots with it, otherwise you're just wasting your time, but it can one-shot basic troopers on Gold (well, that's with Sniper Amp III and Disruptor Ammo IV), and with 6 shots per clip and no reload cancelling required, that's a lot of destruction.

 

Best used against Cerberus.

 

Why the Shadow? Your description doesn't specifically mention anything about the kit.

I was screwing around on lolSilver one day, and wanted a sniper rifle that wasn't gonna put my coolsown through the roof, so I chose the Viper, and it turned out to be quite awesome. I can't link the build right now because I'm on mobile, but my manifest is linked in my sig.

Viper Fat Cryo Turian 

 

Somewhat fun in the "well, I like getting carried sometimes" sense, extremely handsome. Yes, I could use valiant, but then I couldn't make jokes about fat turian playing with his viper. 

[Urizen]

The ticklestick on a turian? Might be worth it for the lulz

Volus adept build.

 

This is what I came up with. I decided to use 6B on stasis because I want to be hipster.

This build is more for be able to good against almost everything minus geth primes although geth primes aren't as annoying at least to me IMO as phantoms are have gave me more trouble.

 

Suppressor for infantry targets. Hurricane for everything else or when you get tired of the suppressor or run out of ammo for the suppressor.

Also with weapon switching, you can easily just switch weps in mid roll of the volus.

the other day when we were talking about the phalanx....I hadn't used it in about a year..tried it on the T-Sol w incid ammo...melted everything..I don't even think I used marksman once

[ALTBOULI]

Melee Geth engineer, it's tricky, especially off-host but fun nonetheless

I was playing the SI with Krysae last night, before seeing a comment by SMR describing it as not requiring much skill or aim. While that is very definitely true, I have to say it's still a lot of fun, and very effective. I never got to experience the pre-nerf Krysae, but it must have been absolutely Godly, because the present version can still be pretty epic if you can cope with slowness of the reload.

the me3 randomizer is pretty fun, random class and weapon picked for you. me3.trollfot.org i think

wasnt just a faster reload- rof,muzzle climb, and damage were all better

I've been using it on my SE too.  Good stuff vs blinky flashlights, that's for certain.

Soooo, absolutely Godly then, as I said

It was essentially a BW that had AOE and ignored shieldgate. I don't know who thought that was a good idea.

It's fine as it is, really, especially vs Cerberus or on any kit with Overload/ Energy Drain. Also works as an ammo priming weapon much like the Adas or Falcon. I just wish it could headshot and I might be inclined to use it over those two (probably not the Adas because it's quarian but W/e). Probably not though because it uses sniper amps, which I never have.

But why would they need such a hysterically OP gun when they have TECH ARMOUR?

because their signature assault rifle is garbage

[Ashevajak]

Dat military supremacy.

 

Speaking of which, did anyone here ever try the pre-nerf Krysae on a Turian soldier.  I'm just imaginging with the RoF bonuses it would be like playing as a rapid fire Geth Prime. 

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

You take that back!

[Dovakiin_N7]

Cryo acolyte CC spamming Human soldier. I tried at last and she is damn fun.

[Miniditka77]

Shhhhh - you're not supposed to tell people that.

 

And the Phaeston isn't "garbage."  It's easily the 6th best uncommon weapon, maybe even the 5th-best.  And it's better than most of the common weapons too.
