I heard that you can get a Geth assault rifle somewhere? Im bored sick of using the Vindicator and in general bored of the small weapon count in this game.
By hidden weapons, Im wondering about the ones that only show up on certain difficulties. I guess this could be the hidden weapons thread if there's more than one hidden weapon.
Mass Effect 2
Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Jan 26, 2010
After a violent death by an unknown force and a timely reanimation by the human supremacist organization Cerberus, Commander Shepard must assemble a new squad in the seedier side of the galaxy for a suicide mission in the second installment of the "Mass Effect" trilogy.
Where do I find the Geth Assault Rifle?/ any other hidden weapons
Geth Assault Rifle is located near the end of Tali's Recruitment mission. The only way to get it, however, is to start and play through the mission on Hardcore difficulty or greater.
There is also the Revenant Light Machine Gun, an upgrade only available to soldiers--you acquire it on the deactivated Collector Vessel where you would normally, with any other class, pick up another weapon specialty.
I'm pretty sure there's a Geth Sniper Rifle available at some point. Not sure if that's a secret weapon or if that's just a Legion-specific upgrade.
Revenant Machine Gun (from "disabled" collector ship) > anything else in the entire game
Well except maybe the Cain.....because it looks some god-damn COOL when it goes off:
@Sir_Ragnarok: Thanks, and yeah the stuff on the Collector ship, I always went for the sniper, never had a class get there that could use the Assault rifles or shotguns until the current playthrough Im on now. And thanks for the locations, and yeah the Sniper for Legion is a legion upgrade like the shotgun for Grunt, shame only a few characters actually get specific upgrades for them, I'd have loved to see Garrus and Thane and Miranda all with something like a specific AR for them or a unique heavy pistol for Miranda.
Geth sniper is just Legion's anti-materiel rifle. For Shepard, you have to pick it on the collector ship if you're soldier or infiltrator.
EDIT: Guess Garrus beat me to that bit.
@Garrus:
Geth rifle is the best assault rifle, but it has a fluctuating fire rate, which is weird. The revanent machine gun is by far the best gun in the class, but if you skipped it on the ship, you'll never get it. low accuracy, but high damage and 80 round sinks, plus it gets tons of ammo off every pickup. Otherwise, no. No secrets. Just promised downloads. There are 2 weapons in each class by default, plus the Geth assault rifle, the three special weapons, and now the cerberus shotgun. Oh, and the collector rifle for CE, and the incisor for digital deluxe purchasers.
On the disabled collector ship choice of:
extra weapon type slot
or
Claymore shotgun for Vanguard & Soldier
Widow Sniper rifle for Infiltrator & Soldier
Revanant Assault rifle for Soldier only
Other weapons:
Flame Thrower heavy weapon - Zaeed loyalty mission DLC
Geth Assault rifle - Tali recruitment on Hardcore and Insanity only (read above posts for specifics)
Collector Assault rifle - Collector's edition bonus
Incisor Sniper rifle - Digital Deluxe Edition bonus (Steam or similar digital distribution)
Eviscerator Shotgun - DLC via Cerberus network ?? (haven't checked for this since I finished the game)
You can also pick up Grunt's super shotgun up if you have it and then you get to the collector part where you can choose another gun.
That thing is powerful.
Ohhh. That's why I never got it on normal mode." Geth Assault Rifle is located near the end of Tali's Recruitment mission. The only way to get it, however, is to start and play through the mission on Hardcore difficulty or greater. "
It's a pretty sick assault rifle. Nothing compared to the Revenent though.
If you already played the game once and got the revenant, Can you get another weapon on the collector ship? Or does it replace the one you have, or is there nothing there?
" If you already played the game once and got the revenant, Can you get another weapon on the collector ship? Or does it replace the one you have, or is there nothing there? "I'm wondering this as well.
" @Garrus: Really? It seems like that shotgun is for Grunt, even the description talks about only Krogan being able to use it. "Yeah, well, the Eviscerator shotgun was supposed to be good as well. Shotguns just aren't that great in this game. They fire way too slow, have terrible accuracy, and only hold like ten shells.
Its been said that the shotgun is used by asari at some point in the game and by another NPC, the same shotguns, just Grunt requires an upgrade to be able to obtain it for some reason.
Definitely. I spent most of my game as a Vanguard using an SMG or pistol. Not exactly the best use of the class. It was a little irritating." @Napalm: I think the whole thermal clip thing has ruined the shotguns in Mass Effect 2. Just sounds kinda silly when you have a class that's main weapon is a shotgun and your best shotgun probably, has like 12 shots or something when you're facing 30 mechs. "
Also, that shotgun is fantastic at dealing damage, but only carries I think 20 rounds, and fires one at a time. So you fire one off and have to reload.
PS. Talking to you makes me feel like I'm actually talking to Garrus! "Hey, you got shot, but survived the suicide mission!"
And yeah hah, I bagged the username and just found it funny coming here, its like you can imagine Shepard and Garrus and Wrex playing Mass Effect games on the Normandy or something and commenting how bad Bioware made Mass Effect 2 lol.
And yeah I tried using the shotgun a little on insanity on one of my saves and god, you just can't fire it because the enemy's accuracy against you is so great at the effective range of the shotgun.
And yeah, I can picture you and Shepard being like, "what the fuck! We were just at Omega! That music wasn't playing! What the hell! Jeez, my shotgun sucks!"
Hah yeah, I always sorta thought of the guys as being like celebrities playing their own game based on them going, "What the hell, that didn't happen and those guys barely touched me on that mission" lol
