Mass Effect News: What’s Coming In Mass Effect Andromeda Multiplayer

Turbocharge has a 20 second cooldown meaning you can only access it 2 to 3 times per wave. It's kinda balls. Would not do the Claymore justice.

There are only ever ~5 useful guns in any game.

"Gimme the Claymore!"
- "Why?"
"So I can use Turbocharge on it!"
- "But it's a one-shot gun."
"Claymoar!"

Hurricane out performs every single auto fire weapon in the game, rozerad and shadow are "ok." Dropping enemies wise, in any speed test. The charge up for rozerad just takes to long (yes 0.5 seconds is still 0.5 seconds of an enemy not being dead), and the shadow only even matters if the enemy is so far away (and standing still for headshots...) for the hurricane to not matter. Realistically, as in gameplay wise though, if the enemy is that far away, they barely have any effect on YOU even with 1000% accuracy and damage weapons.

The best weapon in the game hands down is the dhan. Not just because I like it. (I like it because its the best). Single shot weapon with fast reload, decent RoF and shield/headshot bonus. No other gun drops enemies faster with proper shooting. The only "drawback" of this gun is its travel time to a target. But its worth adapting, the only other gun that even potentially comes close is the Black Widow on a headshot/weakpoints master.

Silhesh gets beat out by the hurricane in pure damage and rof, its the "middle lane" between it and rozerad. Even with tracking, which is just bullet delay, the hurricane is doing damage that 1st to last bullet. Shorty, is not as good as everyone is saying it is...compared to dhan-hurricane it still falls shorter.

Take into account every situation where you would use a gun, distance, damage, rof, accuracy, enemy health~weapon damage ratio. With all those things taken into account, the "best" weapons for overall all situations are the dhan and hurricane.

Gentlemen, it appears we have a tie. They're both great guns but only one can be the BEST. Let's go to the tie breaker round.

Here's a picture of the Shorty:



Now here's an in-game picture of the Dhan:



I think we have a clear winner here folks. I'll be sticking to the Shorty.

Scattershot > shorty > dhan fer real.

Yep and it comes with the long barrel and heavy choke mod varients permanently attached.

Correction: Scattershot siphon

Dual Scattershot on Juggs is more than okay, believe it or not. Not to mention it's also completely in style...

While I acknowledge I have nobody to blame but myself for the presumption that I'm trolling, in this instance I am not.

I'm on my way into the office, and so have too little time and far too much sadness to engage properly in a math-related debate. Perhaps the Dhan wins marginally by the numbers, but in practice I find the Shorty both more effective and more satisfying to use.

The very fact that, as you acknowledge, subjectivity can skew so many to favor the Shorty, or even to consider them "tied" -- by which I am not presuming everyone here agrees with me, but I can say that everyone with whom I have both played and discussed comparisons of the two has -- entirely belies your argument that anything but the Dhan and Hurricane are useless save for "shyts and giggles."


Also, as Joe pointed out so eloquently..

I don't have an iota of homophobia, so while it doesn't bother me, you have to admit it's a bit weird that the extremely-dildo-shaped gun also happens to ejaculate a packet of plasma with a distinctive "splort" sound. None of the other plasma-based weapons share this characteristic, so methinks it was intended as a bit of a joke. In any event, it's not nearly as satisfying as the Shorty's percussive "BLAM-BLAM-BLAM, BLAM-BLAM-BLAM, BLAM-BLAM-BLAM." All else being equal, the gun that's an old-school Batman panel come to life is gonna win out over the jizzumblaster every time.

I am just sad that people are not really playing this game anymore.

Just try to find a lobby on PS4. Not very easy at all anymore.


Patch 1.09 store update ruined this game permanently. I doubt if any news or change will improve this game to extend its life.

It saddens me to hear so many people on this board talk about using Siphon variants of weapons. We can't complain about the loot pool explosion in one breath then praise and recommend these lore breaking, vampiric bullshit weapons in the next. Bioware keeps data on weapon usage, so unless you guys want to see the same thing happen in 2032 when the next Mass Effect game comes out, I'd recommend boycotting the variant guns that we all claim to hate. The game's more fun when there's a bit of challenge anyway.
