Mass Effect: Andromeda Multiplayer Discussion 5/12 UPDATE

BOX FARMING / OPENING STRATEGIES

There are a few schools of thought as to using mission credits for buying boxes.

The most common is making sure you buy tons of basic packs early on to max out your common / uncommon gear and characters to make you viable for silver mission farming, then buy the more expensive packs for getting the rare and ultra rare stuff leveled up to play on gold.

SHOEBANG'S CURRENT LIST OF MOST EFFECTIVE WEAPONS

PISTOL: Talon, Scorpion, Sidewinder - These hit hard. Raw damage is king as far as my opinion goes. All of these satisfy that. 3/27 Edit: changed now that I play gold.

SMG: Charger - high ROF, decent accuracy. My current favorite overall weapon. Only Viable in Bronze and Silver. Equalizer. No reloads, great ROF, good damage. Gold viable

AR: General consensus is that ARs are lacking unless you play a class with the soldier skill that turbocharges the ROF and clip. I play a support classes so I have no opinion here.

SNIPER: Vanquisher. One headshot kills the normal enemies on bronze. Useful for any class. Nothing tops it right now. People soloing gold using it. The Raptor is the best AR in the game as well, except it is classified as a SR.

SHOTGUN: Personal Favorite is the Disciple. Light, good damage, decent ROF, great range and accuracy. Smart Choke mod is a must.

I'll keep adding to this post as I can.

Multi-player keeps randomly crashing for me on Xbox One. Like, back to dashboard crashing, it sucks.

I have had 1 crash and 1 disconnect since the game launched.

Seems like some people have more trouble than others

Is multiplayer cross-platform?

Also, how rare is the Vanquisher sniper rifle? Can I get it from basic packs?

Eta: Nm, I see that it's rare.

Playing an infiltrator is fun. I still don't have any gear worth a damn, but with the Tactical Cloak and cloaking when dodging, I can always run like a bitch from any sticky situation.

What's the trick with the disable devices missions? I always have trouble in later waves when you end up with an Ascended and/or Fiend just camping at the device point.

Teamwork. Two people distracting enemies, 1 disabling the device and one guarding his a-hole because you present like a baboon and are 100% exposed.

A few changes with the new patch.

Vanquisher Fixed a bug that caused the Vanquisher to have an extra 100% headshot bonus

I guess the Black Widow is top dog now?

Also, Outlaw Sharpshooters are deadlier now and Remnant Observers are weaker. It also looks like enemies, especially heavy-hitters, will be more likely to target melee characters and repeated melee attacks do less damage.

If you're level 10 or 11, you should be able to run silver

You get 20-25k for completed silver runs. They nerfed the melee builds hard in the patch, most likely because of Krogan vanguards. Warping around like every second + blood rage was lulz

Yeah bronze nets only 10K credits. I have a Salarian Infiltrator at Lvl. 8, and a Human at Lvl 15. Spent too many credits on basic packs so I still have crap weapons. The only sniper rifles I have are the Incisor (hate it), Viper IV and Raptor I (what I use.

It seems to me that they shortened the time required to deactivate devices also.

And I figured out what Mission Points were good for, and bought all of the equipment available. Hopefully they rotate the options so I can buy the rest soon. I like the +Shields/Melee but raw gun damage would be better for my character.
