Both SP and PSP packs say "Now with a chance to find Earth Characters". Veteran packs do not.

Im not getting earth characters today just common stuff from psp packs
I've been getting so mad at my PSP drops that I've gone back to spamming nothing but Veteran Packs. Think I'll keep it up until I either get over 200 Medi-Gels, or max out the new Uncommon Gear... Whichever comes first. :I
My Javelin's at V, Talon's at VI—those're my two highest ranked URs. I'm actually happy about the Talon, 'cause I'd like to give it to my Phoenix Vanguard once it's as light as it can possibly be. But the Javelin... If all of those upgrades could've gone to the Saber instead, I would be a very happy man.
Well, at least it'll be out of your hair soon!

Sooo close to that payout. There was one transmitter left, and we couldn't get to it because we were gettin' rushed down by Primes, Hunters, Pyros, Banshees, and Phantoms from all sides. Would've been my first legitimate Platinum victory.
It's ironic though, I only got caught in that game because the randoms I matched up with did a bait 'n switch. lol

Anyone getting disconnect/lag issues tonight? Was disconnected several times in the middle of Platinum matches, now it keeps sticking me in matches with Russians.
Also, why do Russians always use the Camo appearance?
Mainly play on the Paladin now, love how it works. Having trouble picking out a secondary ranged weapon, I like the Cerberus harrier, but it has huge ammo problems.

I use the run speed. it makes a huge difference. the caught in field thing is not necessary as they should only be caught in the field for about 2 seconds before you hit throw and set off the biotic explosion.
Also, i FINALLY got my N7 Demolisher - its a great class but i need a solid 2nd weapon to compliment my Piranha VII - i dont have a typhoon yet which sucks as its the exact weapon i need for the class. The Black Widow II is ok but not for small bases.
The only problem is when i play with my Fury on gold, i top the leaderboards, with the demolisher - im on the bottom. I know its a support class but it seems to happen all the time to me.

Why the Saber? I have a M99 Saber which is classed as an assault rifle yet only fires one shot at a time? i just dont get it. It seems to be one of the worst weapons imo.
Also - the Krysae is unusable since the nerf. Not only is the damage output shocking, but it takes to long to fire a 2nd/3rd shot now. It used to be one of my fave guns but it does nothing now. Its ok to nerf it slightly but why render it unusable?
I fraggin' rock with the Saber. It's like a sniper rifle that isn't a sniper rifle. Tons of rounds and headshots like crazy. I generally get over 20+ headshots a game with it and the damage is awesome. I tried using the Harrier since I unlocked it recently, but it just didn't click with me. Generally if I'm playing Silver or Bronze (the two difficulties I like to play at), I can usually get first and if I'm on my Demolisher, then I'm fraggin' deadly with it. It does take some getting use to since the recoil can be a problem, but I've used the gun so much the recoil doesn't even bother me. Awesome gun.

Ah fair enough. Im mainly on Gold runs now unless its a brand new character ive never used before (then i drop back to silver)
Guns i LOVED on Bronze/Silver are now worthless on Gold..
To me on gold.
Asari Adept: Carnifex VI with the Level 5 Head Trauma (40% extra damage on headshots) and the Scope
N7 Fury/Shadow/Demolisher: Piranha VII
Salarian Infiltrator: (Nothing) - i cant use the Krysae now since its so terrible so probably a black widow II and a weightless Geth Plasma SMG for close encounters.

From several pages back. I just respeced my GI like this and used him with the Piranha. Holy shit is this a beast load out. Any recommendations on gear and mods for the Piranha? I'm currently using damage and shredder mods with shotgun damage gear. I may start using the stability and ammo gear but it doesn't seem neccesary. Also, hip fire does same damage as aim down sights, right?
I maxed out the rest of my supplies, and the Veteran Packs started dropping 6 Medi-Gels each. I've gotten nearly 200 of them the past couple of days.
Gonna keep that easy streak goin' with the Kroguard on Glacier/Geth/Gold... There were a few good match-ups I had with randoms, playing proper support behind me, priming Biotic/Tech Explosions, getting full extractions in 15-20 minutes, 75k credits each—I was havin' a blast.
Once my supplies are all maxed out, I'm going to try saving up more of my credits, and periodically buying PSPs.

Yeah i think i'm going to start buying Veteran or Jumbo Equipment packs soon since my medigels/rockets/heals are around 65-80 and keep getting lower and lower lately. What's better between these 2 packs? Veteran packs still have a low chance for gold items, so i thought this one might be better. Does Jumbo packs have one time only items? If not, i think the Veteran packs is the obvious choice...
Yes! Yes, they do. Sorry if I didn't word it properly. I meant that they didn't drop the permanent stuff, like Weapons, and the Gear Kits/Packages.
Which reminds me, is 255 also the max number of Ammo/Weapon/Armor consumables you can carry of each type?

Yes—at least, mostly, I think. >_>
I could be wrong, but I think Jumbo Equipment Packs do drop Rank III consumables every once in a while.
Thanks!
Direct Damage biotics (i.e. Warp) can set off tech explosions, but ONLY if the enemy dies as a result (elemental effects only - incendiary/cryo).

Not playing very often puts you really far behind when it comes to getting DLC. I've been spamming Veteran Packs and I haven't even maxed out all the uncommon mods and weapons yet.
I know that feeling, just got 4 Batarian soldier cards in a row, for 3 spectre packs today and 1 from last night.
It's hard using the Piranha on another class after you've seen how fast it shoots with a Destroyer.
The only thing keeping the Harrier out of my Destroyer's hands is the ammo limitations. No other class on Gold burns through ammo like a Destroyer. There have been times that I've hit empty in a wave while using a Revenant X topped with a Barrage Mod.
Gold isn't hard. When I used to play on Xbox me and my friend beat all of them and it was just me and him. That was back when Asari Adept was the best character.
Now with the new N7 classes that make the game rofl status, it should be a cakewalk solo. Even the Destroyer is useful..
Yeah I run out of ammo on the harrier at the drop of a hat, but I just switch to my piranha.
Mine's only level 2, but I've just been spamming the ammo packs since I have 255 of them anyways. Let's me lob more grenades too.
I can't be the only one who dont want to use his 255 ammo packs, just so i can only get the three other more valuable consumables from the random packs?

I use it with AP and EB mods. That's a 20 clip and 95 capacity according to the manifest detailer. I don't use it to camp on Platinum unless I'm a Demolisher (when I need more firepower.) On Gold I use the Harrier alone on lots of builds. Just need to make those frequent ammo box visits and land lots of headshots. 20 Headshot medal every time I use the Harrier.
Hoping for Hurricane V.
1.25 millions players extracted is a lot considering the 800k objective. Yet, we still didnt get 400k full extractions the last time, even with all difficulties combined? Weird. It's not like Bronze or Silver Reapers are that hard.

Have to remember that the community as a whole is really terrible.

Well given that 3 people extracting counts as 3 for the 800k objective but 0 for the 400k full extraction, it's not that inconceivable.

Most people just Gold Farm or just don't like playing Reapers because they don't know how to deal with Banshees without using missiles.
And this.
Yeah... when you see that idiot camping all alone in his corner on the other side of the map, when 3 of us are escorting the floating robot... i guess it's not too surprising.
Harrier I still lol
Its my favorite weapon by far right now for Gold. Even above the Piranha. I always throw the clip extension on to kinda mask the ammo problems a bit, but its just so damn good.
