... on classes that don't get time dilation or ammo powers, and without using a click macro?
Specifically, how does it compare to the other AR's in power or even the Viper (which it is based on to an extent)?
A lot of old timey threads just talk about how it is so much more powerful than the other choices on some of the casters without a lot of numbers that I could find. Some claims also seem to be contrary to what I would expect numbers to actually show if they are calculated correctly.
- There is one compatibility issue I know of and that's with the Carnifex4Predator mod which is a DLC type mod that replaces all instances of the M3 Predator with the model and texture of the M6 Carnifex, M77 Paladin, Eagle, or Phalanx pistols. This was done to swap out the M3 Predator in cut scenes where it shouldn't appear.
- Dec 14, 2016 Mass Effect 2. All Discussions. Geth plasma shotgun, Viper sniper rifle, Phalanx Pistol, Arc Projector (heavy). Carnifex SMG: Tempest or Locust.
- Mar 07, 2010 The Carnifex does the same, but better; plus, it's more effective agianst shields than the Geth Pulse Rifle or Avenger. Both pistols have 2/5 damage upgrades. No Heavy pistol critical upgrade.

Might do some maths later today just for the hell of theorycrafting, but want some current day opinions.
$50 SPENT
The next milestone includes $30 more, bringing the grand total spent up to $50. Of the 15 Spectre Packs purchased during this phase, you’ll notice a ton of duplicates, especially a lot of Drell Vanguards.
Each time you obtain a duplicate weapon, that specific gun is leveled up by one point (two if it’s a default option). You can level any weapon up to 10, and there are well over 20 to unlock.

CONCLUSION
Although there were some good finds, overall that felt like another $30 down the drain. Even with all the rare character cards, our class levels hadn’t changed much, and we were still missing a few specific races:
- Adept – 5 (missing Drell)
- Sodier – 5 (missing Turian)
- Engineer – 7
- Sentinel – 7
- Infiltrator – 5 (missing Quarian)
- Vanguard – 12 (missing Asari)
$100 SPENT
$50 down, $50 to go. The following is a list of all of my unlocked content after the full $100 was spent. That’s 50 Spectre Packs or 3,000,000 Credits.
CHARACTERS
Note that the entire second $50 didn’t yield a single new character, leaving me with four empty slots on my class-select screen. XP also came to a crawl. I was hoping to get a character pretty close to level 20 without having to play a single match, but the highest I got was 12.
- Adept – 9 (missing Drell)
- Soldier – 7 (missing Turian)
- Engineer – 12
- Sentinel – 11
- Infiltrator – 7 (missing Quarian)
- Vanguard – 12 (missing Asari)
WEAPONS
At $80 in, I unlocked the M-99 Saber, my first “N7” class weapon. Although I ended with plenty of options to choose from, the Geth Plasma Shotgun remained my go-to weapon, especially without the M-13 Raptor in my inventory. I was still missing lots of mods, and the ones I did have were not leveled up by much.

SUPPLIES
Supplies are special one-use items that are automatically equipped to the D-pad and available in every mission. I didn’t keep track of them until the very end since they’re not that important, and you get a ton of them. But the final tally is below.
- Cobra Missile Launcher – 64
- Thermal Clip Pack – 73
- Medi-Gel – 54
- Ops Survival Pack – 85
The Medi-Gel definitely comes in handy as it allows you to revive yourself, and the Cobra Missile Launcher is vital for instantly taking down minibosses such as Atlas mechs. Somewhere along the way I picked up two missile capacity increases, meaning I can now storm into each battle with four missiles. On Bronze difficulty, there are usually only four Atlus mechs total, which makes surviving all 11 waves a breeze.
CONCLUSION
Had I not stolen the $100 out of GamesBeat editor-in-chief Dan Hsu’s wallet, I’d be feeling pretty gypped right now. After 50 packs of the best Mass Effect 3 multiplayer has to offer, I still don’t have a single level 10 weapon, I don’t even have all of the available characters (which there aren’t that many to begin with), and I didn’t pick up any of my favorite weapons from the campaign.
Mass Effect 2 Carnifex Vs Phalanx
Worse yet, I can’t imagine sinking the 40 hours of total playtime that it would take to build up 3,000,000 Credits, only to end up with such a mixed bag. XP comes very quickly through actually playing the game, but Mass Effect 3 is quite stingy when it comes to Credits. I think a better price point for the packs would have been 5,000, 15,000, and 30,000, rather than 5,000, 20,000, and 60,000.
I’m sure there will be those who purchase just a couple packs and get some awesome stuff, while others will go on to have worse luck than I did. That’s the problem with gambling. But according to our little test, the odds are stacked against you in Mass Effect 3.
