This thread is totally not a thinly veiled attempt to make Krogans play without Claymores, don't kill me please!

 

Ever notice... how few non-human weapons there are? Ever wonder... why a race's weapons often work better on OTHER kits?

 

This is a little activity I was thinking of: For the next few days, try playing only with weapons created by the race you are playing as. NO HUMANS.

 

Special mentions: The widow is weird. It's got the same numeric coding as a human weapon, yet is supposedly used by the Geth during the Morning War, hundreds of years before Humans entered the Galactic community. As well, the Raptor was originally of Turian design, but then modified by humans. As such, these two weapons get the benefit of the doubt as being Quarian/Turian. As well, the Blood Pack Weapons (Punisher and Executioner) are unspecified, so both races in the Blood Pack (Krogan and Vorcha) can use them. The Claymore, on the other hand, was a human-designed weapon used by Krogans, so the Krogans do not get Claymores for this challenge.

 

 

For anyone too lazy to read through every weapon:

TURIAN:
Phaeston
Kyrsae
Raptor (Special mention, see above)

ASARI:
Disciple
Acolyte

 

SALARIAN:

Scorpion

Venom

KROGAN:
Striker Assault Rifle
Graal Spike Thrower
Executioner Pistol
Blood Pack Punisher

 

QUARIAN:
Arc Pistol
Reegar Carbine
Adas Anti-synthetic Rifle
Widow (Special mention, see above)

 

BATARIAN:

Kishock Harpoon Gun
Raider Shotgun

 

VORCHA:
Executioner Pistol
Blood Pack Punisher

 

GETH:
Geth Pulse Rifle
Geth Plasma SMG
Geth Plasma Shotgun
Javelin
Geth Spitfire

VOLUS:
... none?

DRELL:
... none?

COLLECTOR:
Collector Assault Rlfle
Collector SMG
Collector Sniper Rifle
Particle Rifle, technically.

 

 

... let's see how many Turians and Krogans participate, hahahaha!

Quarians FTW and this proves it.

[Excella Gionne]

I'll just play Quarian then. But why hate yourself? 

[Darth Volus]

I think Volus make the Avenger and Shuriken.

Liked for this.

 

I'd like to see smashbros with cerberus weapons like talon.

[Silvershroud]

Huh, I never noticed that the Turians don't have any good weapons.  For supposedly being the best military force in the galaxy (I think?), you'd think they'd have something good!  Pre-nerf Krysae I guess?

[ClydeInTheShell]

Drell have grenades, lightning speed and trench coats and therefore require no weapon; they are the weapon. 

[Darth Volus]

That's what I use. Even though it results in me having no range on big maps. Harrier is too heavy and the Eviscerator lacks punch.

You want punch?  Get a Nemesis to teach you how to raptor!

[Deerber]

Claymore.

 

 

... Did someone say claymore?

 

 

Claymore!

[capn233]

Widow wasn't necessarily in use in the Morning War, the images Shepard sees in the Geth Consensus are just based on his own experience.

 

All ERCS weapons can be added to the Turians:  Vindicator, Tempest, Predator

 

Elkoss Combine is Volus: Shuriken, Avenger

[Kenny Bania]

No humans?

 

Wow!!!

[Deerber]

 Shuriken, Avenger

 

Now, that explains a lot...

[Indoctornated]

Claymore works great on console Krogan kits because you can always rely on a left or right dodge for cancel reload. However, the most effective I've been with the Claymore has been on the Destroyer, why I've yet to return to such OPness. And yes, in the ME3mp world, it's ok to be racist & OP sometimes. >_>

 

However, for the Geth Pulse Rifle, I have the most fun with it on Geth platforms. Tried it on fat Turians, and it just ain't the same.

 

Phaeston works great with TSol Markman. I call it "The Never Ending Pew Pew."

 

Isn't the Raptor a Cerberus weapon too?

 

I forgot the Krysae was of Turian make. ... Ideas forming...

 

Stryker is of Krogan origin? Really? ... Well I did use it a few times on the original Krogans.

 

Spitfire on Jug is an all time classic for me. So glad my Spitfire is at X on one of my accounts already. I've waited a long time for Spitfire X Jug action. Was so happy when that day finally came and I slapped the best consumables money could buy on it and lots of SpitJug action.

 

I used to use the Kishock on the Bat Sent. But the fact the the subnet power is also a right shoulder trigger button that is shared with the right shoulder hold the button to charge the Kishock button, button... made me switch it to Vorcha Hunter (since his sub net button is the center Y/Triangle button). Only problem with it on a Vorcha is the Bloodlust roar animation (which I so love when it happen in hard cover, because it make me stand up to eat an Atlas Rocket. It's glorious!).

 

Only Quarian weapon on Quarian I used to use is Widow on FQI. But I've since upgraded this to BW on FQE without Cryo Blast. What category does the BW fall into? Human Alliance because spectre weapon?

 

Raider is a Batarian weapon, really? ... The most I've used Raider on is Geth Juggernaut, I think?

 

CAR on the Collector I still use from time to time. More then any other Collector weapon on this kit.

 

 

 

 

And the Volus do have a weapon too! It's called the mini-Spitfire!!!!

[GruntKitterhand]

I don't have a Claymore on my Xbox a/c - the RNG Store continues to troll me over there, as I have every other non-UR weapon unlocked.  I really really really really really REALLY miss it.

 

Otherwise, I do actually tend to play the lore-friendly weapons you've listed a lot of the time.

You ask a lot of questions when you should be reading weapon descriptions

[Emissary of the Collectors]

I already do this however. The only exceptions are "Faction" weapons over "Race" Weapons. So Vindicators on Batarians, Turians, and Humans because Blue Suns, Scimitars on Asari, Salarian, and Humans because Eclipse, Mattocks/Talons/Harriers/Raptors/Hornets/Eviscerators on Phoenixes, Paladins, SLayers, and other Humans because Cerberus, etc

[grailseeker91]

Allow me to pompously take a gander at what's going to happen with this challenge:

 

A.)Some people will just ignore it as another "people aren't playing my way...must attempt to shame by bitching and posting e-dong challenge" thread in which case stop whining

 

B.)Some will ignore it as a meh don't care thread.

 

C.)A few players may decide to take this challenge just because they are bored and try to excel with every combo.

 

D.)Others will take the challenge but only on the still blatant gimp options.

 

I figure this will happen a lot:

 

Turians: Phaeston only. After all this gun isn't terrible and Turian passives coupled with the right gear and consumables make up for its drawbacks. For the poor player they still have the TGI.

 

Asari: Uh biotic boom team where whole matches can be played rarely shooting so not much would change other than maybe a few more rage missiles at the geth

 

Salarians: So one of the best sidearms and at worst a top 5 shotgun are suppose to be crippling how exactly? And before Venom fans start on the a top 5 only say what I will point out wraith, claymore, graal, and raider. It depends on kit and lag

 

Quarian: Again where's the handicap challenge? Arc pistol is a headshot monster. The cheesgar got this nickname for a reason. Quarksman+Adas is known as a lethal combo. And lets not forget arc nade spam or just sound tech power support.

 

Batarian: Falcon Punch with blade armor and the raider is a dream CQC for me. And no I didn't forget the other awesome powers Batarians have just me playing universal captain obvious on personal builds. And let's not forget the fun of playing captain ahab with the Kishock when you need time to clean off the gauntlet.

 

Vorcha: Flamer and cluster nades lead to little purpose of shooting. Hunter with the sub net and stability on the executioner for easy head-shots

 

Krogan: Have you never seen a Krogan with the graal? It's more common than lord claymore when I search for matches. Striker does get hated more than it should but that's the fault of the missile glitchers this gun rocks. Finally what true krogan isn't going to go omni-blade smash as much as possible?

 

Geth: GI with either Javelin or GPS will murder everything anyhow. A few people may take advantage of this as an excuse to knock out the challenges for the other weapons

 

Volus: The people who know how to Volus probably won't care as they have the immortality button. For everyone else there is the immortality button if used wisely. In other news the avenger isn't crap people it beats the vindicator. As for the shuriken we all need a doorstop.

 

Drell: See Asari point with martial arts added.

 

Collector: 2 awesome species weapons coupled with heavy weight artillery that doesn't have be the glass cannon? What can possibly go wrong? 

[Quarian Master Race]

I approve of this because it is obvious quarians will win everything. The lesser races are nothing without our Arc Pistols and Reegars. Only the geth even have a comparable weapon in the Javelin, though Widow is, naturally, superior.

Nonetheless, it will be amusing to see them squabble over who gets to play which support roles for us.

[HeroicMass]

The Tsol Phaeston is a great combo.  I ran it regularly.  The Krysae on the Turian Engineer is quite fun as well.  The stagger has nice synergy with the travel time of homing grenades.  

 

Batarian whaling is also a great way to pass the time

Really? You like the Widow more then the Javelin too? ... Oh wait, Quarian weapon. Duh.

[capn233]

Widow isn't even quarian so...

[Indoctornated]

^ Well then I should of said Javelin is Geth, so "Duh" QMR was going to reply like that. ... Either way. I like the Widow more then the Javelin too. Fire delay of Javelin takes away from the enjoyment of quick scoping. And Widow doesn't let you down on any kit.

[Quarian Master Race]

Widow isn't even quarian so...

yeah it is, and I refuse to listen to your self promoting propaganda claims that its origin is vauge and could be pretty much anyone but the humans.

Geth squadmate uses one and we know they are stupid toasters, so they didn't make it (and anyway it's said that it is used by other races against armored vehicles and krogan, and geth aren't the sharing type). They obviously stole it just like they stole our planet, or we made it for them in the first place for their rightful role as our slave army.

[Quarian Master Race]

Really? You like the Widow more then the Javelin too? ... Oh wait, Quarian weapon. Duh.

It's not just that....I like the way it looks, sounds and its mechanics more as well. The charge on the Javelin annoys me, so even though it obviously does more damage, pierces a bit more and has free wallhax, I don't enjoy using it as much. Widow kills humanoids just as dead in a singe headshot anyway (TTK is actually lower because you don't have to wait for that stupid charge). You only notice a difference vs bosses, whom I tend to just grenadespam to death with stickies anyway.
