What Did You Do Today in Andromeda

Re weapons if you want an OP'd weapon my favourite is The Valkyrie with an auto-fire mod and 2 Kinetic Coils, 3 when you add an extra augmentation slot with your cryo pod points at the AVP terminal. That option is in The Science branch IIRC and requires a couple of pre-requisites and Kadara at 70% I think.

Also as mentioned before equip the Asari Sword or Krogan hammer as your melee weapon and you can also add 3 KC's to that which will again up your damage across all your weapons.

Re armour Explorer armour isn't worth it i don't think. The Pathfinder Vigilant armour is what I use for my Sentinel and I use Incinerate to prime, Overload and Enrgy Drain to detonate Combo's and having Cora also helps with Combo's EXPLOSIONS EVERYWHERE!!!!
Re the books, I recommend reading all three in order, they are pretty light reading but give good backstory for some main characters except for book 3.

Messing around on Eos a bit. After running over 9000 challyrions (never gets old ), I made the planet witness my super parking skills.


In regards to melee waepons, I like to use the kett swords (Carfalon & Vakarsh) for melee backup. I regularly get confused up close, so the 360 degree twirl executed by those two finishes most lighter enemies nicely, like stealth dogs (I never tried to melee an Eiroch ). I guess the krogan hammer and the asari "teleport" sword are better off used by dedicated melee/Vanguard Ryders as I'm either too dumb to aim them or they just need far more practice.

Did anybody ever looted a Vakarsh? Early this playthrough, I was lucky and got a tier II Carfalon from an Eos kett, as they tend to drop now and then but over the course of one full and about 1/3 of a playthrough, no kett ever dropped a Vakarsh.

Though Imo the Cryo Gauntlet is probably the best melee weapon in the game. At least when not focussing on melee.
Especially with the upgrades that thing receives from the cryo beam skill tree, it can almost instantly freeze anything getting too close that is not armored. So it takes those dog type enemies completely out of the fight.
And then it does set up amazing cryo-sposions that freeze even more stuff around.

Yeah I've used the Cryo now and then but never found it tha teffective but it is kind of fun getting a stab freeze going whenever I have used i tbut I don' t tend to use it often. Imay be tempted during m ynext run considering the build I'm thinking of using to give the crypo gauntle tanother shot as it could work quite well with it. I'll need to try it for myself first though.
