Specre Sniper X
- Scram Rail X
- Scram Rail X
- Snowblind Rounds X

^- Will pretty much dominate everything.... If you (like my renegade char) play Infiltrator and max out the Sniper skill for assasination, and then specialize as Commando to further improve assasination,, you can kill Sovereign on "veteran" difficulty with ~2-3 shots..


@Finray
Pretty much all weapons are shit from the get-go

Yeah I figured they would be, but I feel like the snipers are getting a raw deal. It's like getting a drunk epileptic to aim the damn thing.

So I started playing again, this time on normal with a Vanguard. And I´m getting my ass handed to me. I just arrived on the citadel, and on Eden Prime Ashley died in almost every firefight.

I´m a bit pissed, because when I tell the bitch and Kaiden to take cover, they almost never fire on the enemy (or don´t hit, when they fire), so its all up to me. I wanted to specialise in pistols and shotguns though, and its pretty damn useless to fire a shotgun over distance and the pistols really suck in the beginning.

I figured, having Ashley cover us with a sniper rifle, while Kaiden is working his magic and letting me deal with opposition up close and personal should be enough.

Difficulty?

Vanguard is pretty OP imo, just use throw and lift to immobilize enemies (liara + vanguard with full lift skill = unlimited levitation, even on Sovereign)
Shotguns become pretty accurate when you get the spectre ones, and for maximum effect use sledgehammer rounds to knock enemies down...

lol, normal as I said before. I improved vastly though, getting a few level ups. I was used to runnin into firefights head on as a soldier. Taking cover is necessary at this stage.
THe shotguns annoy me, cause I get that overheating bug. It just stays overheated until I load a game. So I always have to look on the heatlevel.


I got a question about the abilities though. What use is a partymember with high tech skill to me? Can I open tougher locks with that? Unlike Kotor, you can´t change characters here to take control of the technician to pick electronic locks.
On my first playthrough, I always got annoyed by downed satellites and weapon lockers I wasn´t able to open, due to me being a soldier.

how, do you... die....... on normal.............
yeah perm. overheat bug is annoying... if it wasn't for that I'd use high explosive rounds for sniper for epic wins...


Tali is epic for opening doors, crates & obtaining side missions via hacking...
and tech can disable enemies while damaging them quite abit and for a pretty long time...

Well, running right into enemies isn´t the best idea. The vanguard skill gives a nice bonus on melee damage

So, the stats of the party do have an influence on whether I can open electronic locks or not? Never knew that, I always chose the partymembers with the most firepower, Ashley, Wrex and Liara. Somehow I can´t stand Tali.
