A random I was playing with told me that the damage mod does not add anything to the Reegar Carbine. I can't really tell a difference, but that would free up a mod slot if true. I'm currently rocking shredder + mag.
Reeger glitch also works with Vorcha Flamer. Hope it doesn't get patched.

I'm 99% sure the Reegar glitch works with all powers.
I've never heard about that barrel mod problem. I'm pretty sure that works as well. However, the Reegar already does so much damage that shredder + mag is a much better combination. It's all I use. Then again my Reegar is at X.

Hey guys I just starting playing the multiplayer and Im having a great time with it. Do you have any tips for beginners? Also what item pack should I be focusing on first? Whats the fastest way to accumulate credits?
Start and keep with Bronze until you're more comfortable with your characters. Some of the starter weapons are really good (e.g, Mantis), so keep with Recruit packs for a while.
Speaking of Claymore, i went from Claymore VI to Claymore IX with 3 PSP.

Yeah, I got a few packs with a bunch of gear back to back. I just went to check my manifest and somehow I now have all common gear. Neat. Even my Gold gear is doing great. Commando and Berserker are both at IV which is good enough. I only wish I had more Grenade Capacity levels. Still at III.

Wow, the Male Quarian Infiltrator is amazing. I'm using him with Cerberus Harrier I + Extended Barrel V + Piercing Mod V, + Grenade Capacity II.
I've got him spec'ed to 4 on cloak (damage), 6 on tactical scan with weapon damage/headshot/show multiple enemies, arc grenades spec'ed to 6 with range/electric damage/ +75% to shields/barriers, quarian defender with power/power/weapon damage, and fitness to 4(edit) with extra health/shields.
The arc grenades do great damage especially when the target is scanned and I throw while cloaked. The multiple enemy Tactical Scan is super useful for the entire team. I can even cloak to do extra damage with the Harrier for the first couple seconds.
Part of it is that I've got my equipment/gear leveled up, but this is by far my most effective build.

I want to try the Male Quarian Infiltrator out but I haven't unlocked him yet. I have unlocked every other race except for him. Still I have heard great things with the arc grenades and scanning. The Engineer is fun but rather squishy.

Swap you a drell and a baterian for your krogan vanguard and a vorcha

Gladly, though I don't think I would really need the drell. :lol I have the adept, the vanguard seems like an accident waiting to happen.
Krogan vanguard isn't all it's cracked up to be either, though. Too slow for a vanguard.
Vorcha's goddamn amazing.

Hold RT, then tap LB right after. Just tap LB, don't hold it. Keep RT pressed.
Smash and Charge are my two favorite powers, but dammit I don't have this character!
1) Geth Infiltrator(with Claymore), ridiculously powerful against anything.
2) Geth Engineer, chain Overload to stun everything that doesnt have armor, and geth turret is pretty good when put in a good spot.
3) Krogan Vanguard, invincible tank with a light weapon, plus i like smashing things as a krogan.
4) Asari Justicar, i love the bubble and aoe reave + a strong assault rifle to make things more interesting.
5) Male Quarian Infiltrator/Engineer, powerful grenades and i like the scan that helps the whole group.
I would put the Ex-Cerberus Vanguard at 5, but this guy is so goddamn weak with the broken fitness tree.

How do you use this? Can you set off tech bursts?

It's actually been quite a while, as I promoted the character in the weekend operation a while back. I liked the character class, Tech Armor, Overload & Warp are a good combo IMO. I haven't tried tech burst though. It was the first class I used for WGG, and seemed to work fine there.

Human Adept, vorcha Soldier, quarian male Engineer, geth Engineer, salarian Infiltrator. In no particular order.
It's a great support class, really. You're like Miranda from ME2, but without boobs.

Fixed for accuracy of what Miranda really is about.

1. Male Quarian Engineer (Carnifex & Hurricane, with 197% power recharge speed. devastating Arc Grenades/Incinerate combo. Tactical Scan that helps the whole team. awesome.)
2. Asari Justicar (Saber & Hurricane)
3. Geth Infiltrator (Valiant & Hurricane)
4. Asari Adept (Carnifex & Hurricane)
5. Batarian Sentinel (Claymore & Hurricane)
yeah i love the hurricane. very small weight penalty (with the mod) so it's a must with any build, for me.
These fuckers just don't want to unlock.
stupid question, where can you browse your characters etc like this? where is this image from?? lol.

Nope, all versions. Just go to the BioWare Social network.

Bha! Instead of giving out character cards for characters you already have leveled up to 20 with all appearance options unlocked, they should give out respec cards. At least that way it's not a total loss and you can experiment more often with different builds. I've only gotten 3 total. Shame that there's several viable GI builds but you can only have one at a time.

sweet, thanks. barely remembered my EA account info heh.
apparently i'm missing only 1 rare weapon (Krysae of course), 3 ultra rare and 2 promotional ones. and only 2 characters (goddamn Salarian Infiltrator will NEVER drop, i just know it). pretty good.
They used to give out respec cards as Gold. ALL THE FUCKING TIME
Now the max amount you're allowed to have is 3. And its rather easy to obtain uncommon.
Its fine how it is. If you spend a respec, you'll likely get a replacement respec in the next 3 vet packs.
Stantron
Member
I did not know about the max limit. Thanks. I got up to 3 when they were hard to come by, so I was hording those until I really needed to use it. I'm gonna start using them more often now.
Not sure if you counted the Collector Rifle for a missing promotional weapon, because that one if impossible to get unless you have a special code.
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but that ultralight materials mod doesn't actually work on anything except the Geth Plasma SMG. The game tells you it is working, but if you actually time the cool downs (and others have done this), it does nothing.
Melchiah

I had 2 or 3 of them, and spent them ages ago. Still no new respec cards in sight. If I had known how rare they are, I would have saved them for better use.

are you sure? all versions too, even after the last patch? well... fuck. it FEELS like it works though, so i'm just gonna pretend your post and this response doesn't exist lalalalalalaa
ahh yeah i counted it, but i figured it might be impossible to get. pretty lame.
