    Default ME3 Multiplayer Thread

    This thread probably should have been made during the Beta, but since talk about dissapointment with 10 minutes of the game can't be contained to 10 threads and to avoid confusion with talk about SP

    What's everyone's favorite builds? I find the Asari Adept to be the most powerful overall by far against both Cerberus and Reapers. Warp/throw biotic explosion is godly and stasis is fantastic against Phantoms. Got all the powers maxed, matriach to level 5, and 3 levels of fitness (figured extra shields are worth more than more weapon damage or lighter pistols, since I'm rarely shooting anyway).

    They are good against Geth too but Salarian Engineer (followed closesly by Salarian Infiltrator) are the best against them. Energy drain vs geth is a free shield refill at any time! Plus decoy screws with Geth like crazy. I never actually got a chance to use a Quarian Infiltrator against Geth before they nerfed Sabatoge, I got her the day after the patch

    I love Asari adept, stasis Bubble is the . I havent played much so im only like N7 rank 86.

    Ive been really unlucky with weapons so my Adept only has a carnifex rank 2... Ive gotten like 0 decent weapons... but 4 asari adept and 5 asari vanguard cards... lol. I use same build as you

    I only play silver ranked as I dont have the guns (or skill) for gold atm.

    Besides adept Ive enjoyed human engineer and Asari Vanguard/


    The MP is fun but I feel it needs some work as it can get repetative

    Funny, I just unlocked the Asari adept today, and was enjoying the crap out of her. Stasis bubble has got to be the best ability in the game, though I've never quite understood how to get biotic explosions.

    I find that the Phalanx is the best pistol in the game, best mix of weight, damage, and rate of fire. I like the specialist pistols like the Scorpion but it weighs way too much to be worth it I find.

    Two people on my team quit, so I managed to go it with only one other quarian engineer against Cerberus for the last 4 waves. Phantoms were never a problem with stasis.

    Origin: DarkArk. Wouldn't mind playing with people sometime.

    Biotic explosions are simple, when an enemy is being affected by a biotic power follow it immediately with a different power. Easiest way to do it is use a warp then follow that with a throw.

    And I've been looking for 3 items for a while now: Krogan Sentinel, Geth Shotgun, and Black Widow.

    I just unlocked 2 of them with the same super spectre pack!!!1 Still looking for that Krogan Sentinel though. It's not something I'll use on gold (I only trust myself to be good enough with Asari Adept and both Salarians on gold) but uber melee Krogan is going to be beastly on bronze and silver.

    This just in, the Black widow is incredible.

    Also, I just played a game with a dude that was N7 level 1222. Maybe it's just me, but that's entirely too much time spent playing this game.

    I've always went a Quarian Infiltrator with the Raptor. Having someone with Cloak on the team is infinitely useful in my experience, very useful for reviving players and doing the activation objectives quickly for maximum credits.

    Im having some fun on the multi, and I agree with mango, asari adept is the best in the class, followed by the salarian engineer.

    I just got in the weekend the black widow, havent had the time to test it. The problem is that due to me disliking silver and gold, I dont have money enough to buy some decent spectre packs, I currently have bought only around 5 or so. Aside that there is hardly any use for the soldier class in either of those difficulties, and I like playing as a soldier from time to time.

    I have to try the asari vanguard that i got, but i really dislike the fast pace combat with the low FOV, in the end I get nauseated by it. Call me a girl if you like but it kills me.

    Im currently wanting the salarian infiltrator and the turian sentinel to try it out. Did get the salarian in the demo, only played with him a couple of rounds, it was close to the end of the demo timeframe.

    They say that the quarian engineer is the killer of the geth...

    I think my n7 rank is around 127, I dont play the mp very much, only this weekend I could get the hold of it.

    Gonna agree with Mango, Asari Adept is my favorite build too (and I also have Matriarch at 5 and fitness at 3 ). The first gold choice.
    I carry a Vindicator, not a pistol, the cooldown is still low and this way she looks like Commando . I also love the maps with narrow corridors, when Atlasses crowd there and biotic explosion after biotic explosion kill everyone standing near them - phantoms, nemesisses, troopers

    Dunno about the best class againts Geth, I still think that even after the nerf Quarian Infiltrator rules. Just throw sabotage on Pyro and watch the mayhem.

    Quarian Engineer is my second favorite class. Especially after they boosted the tech explosions a couple of days ago. I carry a single Locust, with SMG light materials; and the fireworks are awesome: Cryo Blast, Incinerate, ice shards flying everywhere and the Turrent in the middle of all this spitting fire. I might be around place three in the matches, but the assistance I provide is invaluable.

    Right now I'm in the middle of upgrading Krogan Sentinel: DAT TANK, as I call him


    P.S. Is Black Widow one-shot? I never tried it in SP and think I saw a quarian firing a couple of shots in a row yesterday

    Black Widow is three shots with each being about as powerful as a mantis shot.

    I consider the Human Engineer my personal favourite, as I've mentioned quite a lot of times around TWC.
    There's no situation or enemy you don't have the right ability for, and you can hand out lots of crowd control/area of effect attacks without being dependent on ability combos. The drone is generally useless, but it does a good job at distracting/exposing enemies like Guardians or the heavy opponents.

    Second place goes to Asari Adept for me. I generally ignore Stasis (only up to level 3, which is more than enough to handle Phantoms) and prefer raw damage with Warp/Throw Biotic Explosions (aka "biotic artillery" ). Only real problem is that other people tend to shoot "warped" targets first, ruining a lot of chances for Biotic Explosions that would wipe out a lot more enemies than the one. That's also one of the reasons I prefer the engineer: People can't ruin your ability potential on that one.

    Third place goes to the Infiltrator in general. I've only played the Human Infiltrator, so far, (thanks, packages...) but I like it. Tactical Cloak is a real Swiss army knife kind of skill, because you can use it for absolutely everything from enhancing sniper damage to (de)activating devices unharmed to reviving teammates under fire.

    Special reserved place for most annoying class: Vanguard. There's not really a lot that prevents this class from being incredibly annoying. If the Vanguard player is bad, you can just ignore him and play like your team is missing a player. Chances are, the Vanguard will just charge head-on into the enemy and die right there, crying for you revive him (and possibly getting killed in the process).
    If the Vanguard player is good, you can basically sit in the corner and wait for them to do the whole session by themselves. You wouldn't get any meaningful damage or even kills out of it, anyway.

    What about weapons? I think SMGs are pretty bad... unless your said Vanguard likes to charge. Then you have an excellent opportunity to put a headshot volley.

    SMGs used to be horrible but they got a huge buff, so now they are just meh. They can be effective if you want a lightweight weapon. And I haven't gotten lightweight materials but if it works like SP then you could have a backup for a sniper rifle or shotgun that adds almost no weight.

    I love the MP. Depends on the mode and enemy, tbh. Salarian Infiltrator + Widow, Quarian Inf + Sabre, Turian Senti + Wraith, Asari Adept + Shuriken, Krogan Senti + Disciple are my main peeps.

    Krogan sentinel + max melee and rage + Claymore pimped for damage and accuracy = A whole lotta dead creeps

    Might even add cyclonic modifier or adrenaline module to make thing even more ridiculously fun.

    Just had a game with 3 human vanguards and an Asari adept. I never liked vanguards much personally, but dear lord when you've got three of them charging in with shotguns the Cerberus goons never stood a chance. Half the time all the engineers were killed before they could get their turrets up as well. So lone vanguards in a mixed party seem to do a lot worse than 2 or 3 or 4 of them.

    How does the Black Widow compare to the M-98 Widow? Because I've unlocked the latter and I love being able to headshot Centurions and such. Are the three extra shots worth it, especially when it decloaks you?

    In gold there is no damage bleed-through, meaning if you headshot someone with shields, they will take zero damage to health/armor no matter how much extra damage you do.

    Also, if you have a quick trigger you can get 2 shots in before you decloak.

    The black widow is pretty much better against everything if they are the same level, however the widow is a gold while the black widow is a black ultra-rare, so someone who has a Widow level X might only have a BW level 2-3, which means the Widow could be better in certain circumstances.

    OHMG TWO GETH AND A KROGAN VANGUARD!

    And that's next week!

    Krogan vanguard will probably be overpowered as hell. You can get a krogan's shields up to like 1500 or something, and now you can just recharge them whenever you want?!

    As if standard vanguards aren't annoying enough.
    That Harpoon spike sniper rifle looks sick, though.
