Reave: Radius, Damage Protection, Damage/Duration
Pull: Radius, Expose, Duration/Combo
Cluster Grenade: Damage, Max Grenades, Shrapnel (this is basically an extra grenade in the cluster)
Drell Assassin: Power damage, power damage
This basically turns you into Biotic 'Splosion Man.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I figure at this point I'm not going to get an N7 pack. Lame.
It joined mid session(which was actually the start of wave 1 anyway). I didn't know what level they were until afterwards.
Is anyone playing with lower-level characters right now? I got a Level 13 Sentinel who is tired of rage quits
Send an invite to "Mr Jared"
which platform jared
Haha, edited.. I'm on Xbox Live. Pretty important.
Pretty sure you do.
Darn, I'm getting cards for everyone except engineers and it's the only class I have that's level 20 lol
Yes. Even when you unlock all character customizations and have your characters at level 20, you'll still receive cards. Fucking sucks

Man, the Premium Veteran Pack is giving me all the characters I would ever want... one week ago. I was hoping to just spam silver weapons and hopefully get some silver mods, but that ain't happening.
Playing Turian Soldier is fun but ugh... the fact that concussive shot is pretty much worthless and the lack of rolls is heartbreaking.
Nothing like standing in front of an Atlas with a Vindicator mowing down a mob while high off Marksman pills though.

I keep unlocking shotguns and shotgun parts.
And I main infiltrator.
Fuck you gaaaaame.
Over the weekend I played with some dude who was 15th in the world. He pulled out his lvl 1 soldier on silver decked out with N7 weapons and proceeded to demolish all of our scores.
I've only unlocked one but it got me an Asari Vanguard so I guess so far it's the same for me.

I need some tech help here. Two games have caused me on loosing the connection from the game, those are two EA games, Battlefield and Mass Effect. What the fuck should I do?
Nothing is using the connection in my house.

let's trade accounts, I'm literally getting nothing but infiltrators and sniper rifle parts from my veteran packs
This luck of the draw unlock system is simultaneously infuriating and addicting. My initial reaction to getting more SMG mods instead of characters that I want to play as is "BULLSHIT," but then I immediately start up another match and begin to look forward to opening another pack : /

I have full shotgun mods now at least. lol
I really want sniper mods... so I'm hoping I'll start getting some of that stuff now. I'm not sure if every silver card has the same chance of appearing of if certain types of cards get priority... it certainly felt that way after opening all those packs.
I just find it funny that the game feels like it's screwing with you with these RNG rolls. lol
I seemed to get more weapons when unlocking Spectre packs, but I figure when I get back to those, I'll probably get screwed in another way.
hold the right thumb stick all the way down while firing lol

So am I the only person who missed out on an N7 pack?

Oh, also, if you want to farm - Salarian Infiltrators with Salarian Engineers. Holy crap that combo is so cheap against the Geth. We managed to beat one in 28 minutes, which I think is my best time.
Nope, I didn't get one either. I even specifically played against Reapers for the entire duration of the event.
Boourns.
Man, I love Krogan Sentinel. I don't think I'll ever get tired of punching Cerberus soldiers off the map in that Tuchanka level.
I just feel like I'm a failure of a Krogan for still using a tiny little pistol, but I've grown attached to my Paladin. My build is set up to use the heaviest weapons with no repercussions, but I still haven't found a Black Widow so I've been using that pistol instead. However even if I did get the sniper rifle, I can put a melee damage booster on my pistol and it seems to have no trouble killing anything on Silver.
I keep a Revenant around for things with shields and it works alright as long as I'm in cover. I can barely hit the broad side of an Atlas with it otherwise.

I think they are the same. You are Lucky though! I have been trying to get the Paladin, but 3 out of my last 5 packs contained the Carnifex. lol The only N7 Weapon i have pulled is the Saber.

I don't know how much the Paladin weights, but I use the Carniflex on my Engineer and I can still cast space magic pretty quickly. And of course, you can snipe the heck out of anyone with it equipped.

I was so pissed to pull the Hurricane. Hadn't used it before, tried it for a single round, switched back to the Phalanx. ugh.

What a great ME3 day yesterday...
1) Victory pack netted me one silver...an upgrade to a useless pistol I already have.
2) No N7 pack.
3) Was in my first reasonably-successful gold match and my system froze on wave 7. Managed to reboot and get back in, but lost the reward money--we didn't make it to wave 10 either.
So a big nothing on the day that I was looking forward to a random N7 weapon, a victory pack which sounded like it could be promising, and the ability to finally try out gold.
On the bright side, I didn't get the N7 SMG, so there's that...

I forget who I replied to, but in my post a few pages back about "Lead with *Nova*, not Charge" as a reply to someone accidentally targeting a Banshee... this is what I meant.
I always say "Lead with Nova, not Charge" for Vanguards because it allows you to survey the situation before committing. This is not an anti-Banshee tactic... in fact, I *never* engage Banshees with Charge/Nova specifically because of their huge range on the OHKO.
For the Vanguard players, trust me... learn to break the habit of leading with Charge, and you CAN survive (and be the top scorer) on Gold. All too many Vanguards lead with Charge and it WILL get you killed. Remember, your main offensive weapon is NOVA, not Charge. Use Charge as your lifesaver skill... and ONLY when you need it. It's easy to get into bad habits on Bronze, but to use the class effectively lead with NOVA.
What does this mean? Just run up to the enemies. Leading with Nova means if you see an immediate threat to survival you didn't see initially (Turret, Banshee, too many enemies, etc.), then you can Charge to get your shields back so you can book it out of there. Lead with Nova, use melee/weapon to pick off stragglers, reserve Charge for the critical moments. Learning to use Charge to *save your life* instead of offense takes some work, but you WILL become a better Vanguard player.
Also, sidenote on the Banshees: their barriers DO dictate the range of their OHKO. I've been pulled in then released (but the banshee still alive) when my teammates dropped her barriers before I got skewered. This means you can Charge/Nova once her barriers are dropped, but *not* before.

Been trying to get this now that Sabotage has been nerfed and my quarian infilitrator's usefulness dropped.
Are they gold or silver cards? If I know that, it'll at least help with picking the right packs to farm.

Salarian Infiltrator is a Gold/Rare
