The Geth Juggernaut has reduced mobility so he moves slowly, can't evade, and can't take cover. To compensate, he has significantly more defenses than anyone else and has a few special abilities to help him deflect damage and be more survivable.

No, he can't charge.

"Interesting. Can it jump over cover or it will have to move around (like volus do)? "

He will have to go around.

"So... would one of those defenses be sync-kill immunity? Would a phantom sword to the knee be fatal? :S"

Maybe...

"Is the Biotic Hammer equippable like a Firearm or character-specific like the Shadow's/Slayer's sword?"

It is specific to the new Krogan kit.

[Geth Juggernaut question]

I'll probably be playing him during the Twitch livestream on Monday for anyone that wants to check it out.

"Mr. Fagnan, will the Juggernaut be able to climb ladders?"

Yes he can climb ladders.

Just a few answers.

Is this guy a soldier or sentinel?

Soldier."

So the Geth Juggernaut is a Soldier and one of his abilities is a Geth turret

Operation: TRIBUTE (Feb 22nd-24th)

Event Description: A surprise Reaper assault inflicted deeply-felt casualties on our N7 teams and interrupted supply lines to several worlds. Many units will have to rely on standard-issue sidearms and munitions. We must honor and avenge our comrades who fell – and let the Reapers know this was a mistake, not a victory.

Individual Goal: Two objectives are required:

1) Earn 50,000 points using the M-8 Avenger.

2) Earn 50,000 points using Inferno Grenades.

Reward: Commendation Pack and a special tribute banner

Looks like the team found the Zaeed tribute thread on BSN. This is epic!

Geth faction prepare for revenge!
I honestly feel like this is Bioware's way of repaying us for them not actually fixing the Geth and their cheating ways.

Dispensing justice upon them with our very own Prime will not get old.


As part of this DLC pack, we are reducing the amount of stagger that the Geth faction will perform on players. If I remember correctly, the Geth Prime pulse shots and his turret no longer stagger players. Geth Hunters are unchanged.

Seems like they finally fixed the annoying stagger for non Krogan kits

Honestly I would think that MENext will be about Dark Energy and how to save the Galaxy from it, Its the only "greater" threat than the reapers. Maybe the DLC will hint it?

If the next game is to be a sequel, I'd think that would work very well. I was a bit bummed out after doing the Haelstrom mission when it didn't develop any further.

It's an omen. Bioware doing ONE thing I approve?
Robin Sachs tribute? Count me in for that.

Drinking and gambling on the Citadel, amidst Reapers destroying the galaxy and Cerberus trying to seize the Council? Count me out.

[Mordin Solus]

so nobody wants to pose the question of they saying the dlc can be done during any part of the story and you meet and fight alongside the crew from the trilogy but what hapens to mordin and legion and thane then?

[Scorage]

I'll return to ME 3 multiplayer for Zaeed tribute. It's been a while anyway, but damn League of Legends and Dragon Age 2 take some time.

[Statix]

Sounds amazing, can't wait. Gonna be rather expensive though, buying all DLCs at once. Guess those will be my first half of 2013 game purchase.

I think I also found my favorite kit to play with in MP; Turian Ghost (Infiltrator) - so far atleast. The Stimulant Packs are amazing, perfect to get out of crappy situations. Tactical Cloak + Overload deal insane damage to multiple targets. Overload set to stun is also great to get away from those annoying Husks and Abominations, especcialy the possessed ones, that like to sneak up behind you and rape your face. All the while using a powerful Assault Rfile, to finish targets off. The occiasional Tech Burst set up by others or set up by my Overload are pretty cool aswell. It's the first time I had a convincing lead in the score on Silver (Yes Silver, hadn't played MP since the ME3 demo until a week ago). Lacking a lot of kits and weapons; don't have any of the good ones and the ones I do have are mostly still level 1.

Some kits sound really appealing: Asari Valkyrie, N7's Fury, Shadow and Slayer, Vorcha Soldier and the new Human Male Vanguard. Current rate of credits: 100k per hour. Hopefully I can do Gold missions soon and double my hourly credit rate.

PS. We finally gonna be able to change MP hotkeys?

If people are dead, or otherwise incapacitated, in your play through then of course they won't be coming back to life.

[Mordin Solus]

im talking about their death in me3 not me2 or me1. lets says you went to do that mission before goin to the final mission on tuchanka or before the cerberus atack on the citadel or before the last battle of the geth. shouldnt those chars be alive at those parts?

Someone already stated that the DLC is playable only after the Cerberus attack on the citadel, which makes sense since it includes your Love Interest. And Ashley or Kaiden aren't incapacitated until after that mission. I still don't understand your question. If a character is alive or dead they will still be alive or dead for the DLC. It doesn't say you will get to fight along side and see every single character from Mass effect 1 through 3. If no one survived your collector suicide mission in Mass Effect 2 none of those characters will return for the DLC

Likewise even if it could be done prior to Priority: Citadel II their inclusion would all depend on their character state. So Mordin would be alive if you could do it before Priority:Tuchunka. Thane would be alive before to Priority: Citadel II but still sick and dying and unable to do anything other then sit on a couch. Likewise Legion likely won't show up because he is a prisoner, of the "reapers". Tali could probably still show up (prior to her missions) but likely won't because of the Quarian war and her being needed there rather then a Vacation at a citadel casino.

Afaik you can't play this DLC before Cerberus' attack on Citadel. So here's your starting point.

I had already posted a reply of Chris Priestly a few posts ago. The new DLC will be available only after the Cerberus coup

So no Thane and Mordin (unless you managed to convince him to go on Tuchanka but I don't think thst he would show up in this case)
