Multiplayer: Tips and Tricks. - Page 2

wasn't aware you need 2 enemies now. That is a setback but not impossible or even improbable... I would think anyway. I don't usually play as them but I see people still owning at using them.

You can use the Phalanx and have 200% recharge speed. At least that does some damage in Gold, while the Avenger is basically useless.

Mentioned the Avenger because you start with it and most people don't run gold. If they do run gold, then it's with powers builds - not guns. In which case it's all about keeping your recharge time low.

The Paladin in my favorite heavy pistol.

Wrong, the ONLY rifles/guns 3 that are Viable are the Widow, Black Widow, and Javelin (Geth Energy Widow, basically).

The Heavy pistols are there for Power Whoring (Dont hate I do it to).

My Quarian Infiltrator is always 1st or 2nd on the scor board for all of the Head Shots that a Insta-Gib with.

Me, Axe and Ded valve did this:

Axe = Salarian Engineer = Decoy + Energy Drain + Phalanx.

Ded Valve = Quarian Infiltrator = Cloak + Sabotage + Geth Pulse Rifle (or whatever the *bleep* he uses)

Solx (Me) = Quarian Infiltrator = Cloak + Sabotage + Widow

The 4th guy is whatever, he is just for DPS.

Firebase Dagger (the Desert one with the satellite arrays)

Geth, cuz Sabotage ass-rapes them.

We beat gold in about 30 minutes.

This is our Credit farming runs.

What are you talking about? The Widow, Black Widow, and Javelin are NOT the only viable weapons, not by a long shot dude. It depends a lot on your build and play style but any gun can be HIGHLY effective. I can also vouch that the Widow is garbage until you get it to MKIII at least, it kills your cool down time. The same goes to Recruit packs being useless. Its not a bad idea to spam them from time to time to get supplies and decent upgrades. Sniper rifle spar thermal clips are common upgrades but highly useful.

If you work out the numbers, you can get more bang for your buck in raw supplies out of cruit packs depending on what you are looking for. After all you can get four recruit packs for the price of one viet pack. Its a goodway to get basic things like survival ops packs or cobra rockets...no so much for medi gel.

Back to the note about weapons, the Raptor is a freaking beast in the hands of a properly speced infultrator. The high capacity of the weapon and decent damage realy shines when you get it above MKV and have the passive sniper rifle damage bonus.

I will admit that I'm not the best at this game on multiplayer, but I'm not that bad either. I've played through every level multiple times with many different teams. What I have noticed is that skill will always trump higher level characters or better weapons etc. I have beaten the Geth on gold as a human infultrator teamed up with a turian sentinal, drell adept and human soldier for example.

Over all the single most important factor is as Aeirou said, work as a team. Lone wolf play style WILL get you killed on higher level difficulties and even on Bronze.

Lastly, for the love of God PLEASE have your character ready to play when yo hit 'quick join'.

I meant in general, not at this moment in regards to the recruit packs lol

me and my buddys only play gold, bronze and silver isnt a challenge. weve beat gold on every map and in my opinion you should have 2 ADEPT asari heavy pistol and 1 spam warp and 1 spam throw, 1 salarian engineer with falcon assult rifle and shoot torwards decoy, 1 salarian infiltraitor with widow for intense headshot damage and revives and objectives

I'll have what ever you're having that gets you through gold. I'm just getting screwed by not just the enemies but a team that don't know how a space bar functions.

How do you guys even manage to play multiplayer, it's way too glitchy for me that I'd rather watch paint dry.

The multiplayer is honestly shit.

Seriously? I haven't encountered any glitches so far. Personally, I think it's the best Horde-esque co-op mode of any shooter. The depth to the combat is pretty amazing.

I've had enemies stuck under the map, flying in the air not taking any damage other than from charged melee. I also froze completely in a game once, everyone could do things and I could shoot but that was all I could do. No aiming, moving etc. Other than that it's been ok. My multiplayer chars aren't high level and my equipment is still low upgraded so I didn't manage to do the silver weekend challenge. But ah well, at least I might get the 1mil brute pack.

It's only been bad recently. Before the only thing that ever happened were enemies that didn't spawn in, which made rounds impossible to complete.

However, for the past couple days, it's been so aggravating. I will teleport all over, fall under the map, and have it where I can't shoot. I thought it was lag at first, but sometimes I get stuck in the ceiling, can still run fine, and can still connect bullets in to enemies easily.

Woah, some serious glitching happening there.
