The Cobra Missile is arguably one of ME3MP's "essential" elements, even some of BSNers may find it "cheap" or just badly presented, it can grant some hilarious moments, like the one I'm sharing here.

 

Thanks to Ghostknife72's thread on Cobra missile splash damage, which reminds me of a PUG I played yesterday, I've already written about it in that thread, but this is a more elaborate version:

 

I joined a random lobby on London/Reaper/Gold as a Batguard, I can't remember what kit the other 2 played, but the 4th one was a Geth Engineer, his name suggested he's from a certain country which caught my first attention, then the game started.

 

The PUG was an uninspiring game like every other average PUGs until wave 7, when I had a very strange feeling that something in the map kept staggering me like a Geth Prime's combat drone, but it was impossible because we were fighting only Reapers, then I suddenly found a Geth enemy was shooting at me among Mauraders and Cannibals, I could see his health bar(shield and health style) and a human player's name, my first reaction was "WTH!" As I running away, he started shooting the other 2 guys, so I knew he was either a hacker who had enabled some kind of friendly fire to troll his teammates, or was indoctrinated by the Reapers to fight on their side, anyway, it's pvp time.

 

The other 2 PUGs got shot down easily(their kill feed showed "XXX was taken down by _" with no enemy type), the Geth Engineer went hunting me down then, I shot back with my gun but he kept staggering me(I guess it was his Overload because Geth turret has no stagger ability) so it was nearly impossible to hit him, considering myself d*mned, I took cover then pulled out Cobra missile immidiately and fired at him, he went down like any other enemy, I moved up to see if he could be revived like a normal teammate, no need, he already quit.

 

I regret not taking any screenshots, because things went too fast (all took place in less than 2 minutes) so I had no time to capture pics, but that was by far the most satisfying Cobra missile I fired since I played the game, I've also learned (by surprise) that Overload is highly effective against human players.

 

So I've shared mine, what's your favorite Cobra missile moment(s) in all your ME3MP career? Was there any dramatic event involved?

Just cannot beat the satisfaction of killing 4 phantoms with 1 cobra missile on Wave 10 or 11 on Cerberus Gold.

 

I have also killed all 8 enemies with a single cobra missile after completing wave 10 objective several times and those are extremely enjoyable when they happen.

And 3 more goons. Death squad? not any more

Praetorian is about to synch-kill my teammate, but I happen to have the Cobra out already (Targets objective wave? cleanup post-objective? can't remember). I take aim at the ground like you're supposed to and fire the missile...

 

... which proceeds to disappear into the ground. WTF?!

 

The Praetorian completes the synch-kill, but I want revenge.

 

I quickly raise my aim to target the Praetorian directly, fire, and...

 

... the damn Praetorian does one of those hops into the air and my missile sails past under it.

 

@$#%^&*!

[Pheabus2009]

Like this...

 

 

No damage? There should be a Abom squad walking by...

That was bad times, I had this too when lag kicked in.

Any real "satisfying" moments?

[NuclearTech76]

I've got a few and all of them involve killing teammates. I feel like an old guy telling these though because most of BSN has heard these stories.

 

I had a long gold match in which my three other teammates decided to bleed out pretty much every wave. On extraction they're burning through equipment like true pros holding the LZ, missiling and medigelling like hell. I kited a possessed Abomb all the way through the back of giant, pulled out the Cobra, ops packed and missiled the ground killing everyone but myself in the last four seconds.

 

Another with a few friends versus Plat Collectors where there were no **** at least fifty deaths and most of them to possessed Abombs. I think I had two rockets that killed three teammates with Possessed Abombs.

 

Had a match with a friend that needed one extraction with a kit. Pleaded with me not to troll the team. I lashed a possessed abomb and rocketed wiping the whole squad with a few seconds. Ended up doing a bronze (puke) duo to help him get his extraction afterwards.

When I missile banshees that would't stop chasing me. Skanks deserve em. Other than that, when the cobra just fly into oblivion of nothingness. 

[FasterThanFTL]

2 Dragoons + 4 Phantoms + 2 Atlas

 

I once killed them all with 1 cobra on Rio. 2 dragoons + 1 atlas and 4 phantoms + 1 atlas spawned very close to each other near the extraction zone. Have not been able to replicate that very rare occurrence again.

I had a very bad idea, how about missile Aboms in a closed Reactor to ensure no one lives (even when your teammates are Juggernaut, Warlord or using stimpacks)?

One of my rocket rage moments vs Geth probably.

[Pheabus2009]

Yeah, double Banshees certainly deserve it, also double Primes.

I also like shooting "last millisecond missile" on its face when a Crab/Banshee/Atlas just started to grab me, not always successful though, sometimes I just lose control and got sync'd.

[Excella Gionne]

Reaper elite and boss enemies are pretty big and it's very tempting to missile every single f*cker of that spawn.

[bondiboy]

Heading for extraction with 10 secs left. A Praetorian in the way . Ha no prob I have a missile handy for just this situation. Fire missile . Praetorian still has a bar of armour and picks me up as i am running past and synch kills me .

[DJ-LICE]

Was Silver Puging (yes Silver, wantet to make it Quick), we had Collectors, so this is more of a favourite Missile-Troll Story.

 

On Extraction while the others Camped the LZ i was off to kill stuff and get the Heat off the others.

So i make my way to the LZ with about 20 Seconds to go and i hear "Teammate Down", hurry up.. another Teammate goes down.

When i reach the LZ i see the 3rd Guy Reviving everyone... and getting intantly hugged by a A-Bomb and see another one entering the LZ with alot of Grunts, so for the sake of Extraction i pull out my Rocket Launcher and nuke the LZ killing everything & everyone there in the Prozess, so i revive all 3 and we had a Full Extraction.

 

Hate me for it, but in my mind it was the only Solution

[Pheabus2009]

One of my rocket rage moments vs Geth probably.

I do it too when I got downed by the same Hunter more than once, sometimes those sneaky basturds just troll you with their infinite cloak.

[SafetyShattered]

Whenever I'm charging the extraction at the last 20 seconds and an enemy spawn just appeared in front of me.

Nuking those jerks when it happens makes me feel alive.

[JRandall0308]

Any real "satisfying" moments?

 

One of those situations vs. Cerberus where the Engineers set up 3-4 Turrets with overlapping fields of fire, that takes down the entire team but me. I ran in, Missiled the ones on the right, then whirled around to Missiles the one(s) on the left. Didn't get shot once because the Turrets didn't have time to lock onto me. I felt pretty badass after that.

[Garrus1138]

This Phantom once stood in my way to extraction:

 

 

She never did that again.

@garrus

I love u...

Reaper elite and boss enemies are pretty big and it's very tempting to missile every single f*cker of that spawn.

Against Reaper I'd choose Krosoldier, throwing inferno nades into spawn, Adas shoot and stagger, Carnage the survivor, then just listen to everything burning...

That way I can save my missiles only for double Banshees.

Juggernauts are harder to kill but not impossible. You must ops and face tank a Scion shot  then missile the Abomb. 

 

No one in their right mind will play with me versus Collectors on Reactor Hazard.

It's always recommended to panic missile on the way to extraction. Rio would be the most mandatory situation.

[Pheabus2009]

Me too, that's why I always try to save 2-3 Cobras for wave 11, had to plan for the worst situation.
