Alright, similar to my attempt to gather feedback on the Hack circle, I figured that having similar feedback to the changes made to Cobras would be useful. I've tossed together a rudimentary poll where people can once again pick more than one option.
As a matter of personal opinion I think that the Cobra should always be tied to the hp of a certain enemy in the given difficulty. That is a Cobra should always be able to one shot (by 1 hp) say a Berserker (or some other enemy, whatever). That way it does not become completely useless, and yet does not allow people to clear entire map with their 20 combined cobras.

Needs to do something. Barely use it on gold anymore and when I do, I have to throw three at whatever I'm trying to kill.

I am ok with no weak point as long as damage is not stopped by shield gate. Observers should be one-shot by them. Bosses, Berserkers, Nullifiers and maybe Insurgents should require multiple cobras.

1.09 Cobras are completely useless. bsn.boards.net/post/788452/threadTL;DR - on Platinum the ONLY things a Cobra will kill (one-shot) are Agent Clones, Breachers, and *maybe* Destined (but probably not due to shieldgate).

I had a good laugh on one platinum mission where four of us were trying to kill a behemoth inside a hack point. We all fired cobras at it (I fired all 5 of mine and I counted about another 13-15 additional explosions after that, so clearly my team was trying it too) and the damn thing still had about 20% health left... it was absurd.

The only thing they're good for at this point is a quick primer for fire combos.
Otherwise, they're hardly worth the time it takes to load and fire them.
BioWare's resistance to giving players an actual panic button weapon capable of significant damage is unfathomable to me.

It is pure awful as it stands, almost not worth using at all in my last few go around.
give me 2 of the things per match and let it actually nuke the enemies.
The issue with lesser damage to bosses might not be so bad except that every time you are doing ANYTHING in this game that is does not include being ready to evade, cloak or get behind cover you get your virtual ass shot into actual dust.
This is all the worse with the changes to the objectives. You virtually have no get out of free jail cards.

Cobras have always been a joke in this game. In ME3 they were a good panic button to deal with bullshit. In MEA, why bother using them. Now I just fire them at teammates.

I just throw away whatever cobra I have right before I get extracted. I have more Cobra than Survival pack now.. so it doesn`t even matter.... I might as well as use it for cool firework show

They won't take down a Berserker on silver. I was alone in a upload point when my favorite two Krogran Brothers came in, I thought for the lulz I'd nuke them. Lit 'em on fire and knocked their armor down to about 15%, but I still had to finish them off. Yea, lotsa lulz there, just not the good kind.

The missles do what they are soppose to do, whatever bioware feels they should, they used to be a literal nuke in ME3, they were semi-nukes before patch, now they do mass area damage and prime. They are fine the way they are, they were a crutch before.

Maybe I shouldn't have placed the ME3 version as third variant. Poll results kinda look like a nice middle finger this way. Or maybe I should have.

Can't even rage missile anymore. In ME3 I'd let out my rage on a marauder that just elbowed me or the geth stagger jockey or even a swarmer and I would feel better. Now cobras just make me more mad.

I'm on option two or three, either make Cobra's capable of OHK'ing anything that's not a boss and leaving bosses with like a quarter or third of there HP so it never takes more than 2 to kill them. Or make them like ME3 were they OHK anything caught in the blast unless they are at the cusp of of being outside the blast radius.
Cause right now, 5 if not more Cobra's to kill one f***ing Progenitor on Platinum??? No wonder I never see randoms use consumables...
On that note also why the f*** do First Aid Packs not refresh the players Shield and Health gate like in ME3, I know I'm not the only person tired of popping one just to be insta killed a second and a half later.

Cobras are garbage and finally drives home the point that these people do not give a flying you know what about this game, nor do they even test it. I am disappointed at myself for not realizing this sooner.

Cobra was a garbage as compared to its ME3 counterpart even before 1.09 (that's besides the fact, that we have one Cobra less - only 5 instead of 6)and became an utter garbage afterwards. That's it.
The reason is well known - "MoneyAndromeda points talk, and - hey, I'm listening. A day without you is enough for missing".
