I has serious question for those that met me.

Am I that likable a person?

I ask becase IU am very drunk, and a good part of it was the kindness of people I just met.

Now, I think this good, my socializing.

But do I deserve them dfree drinks?

Twid,
not being maudlin, just asking, honestly perplexed. Being as emotionless as a Vulcan otherwise.

Their names were Brian, Jon and Charley.


Yep.


Free drinks from them.

A minute ago I was wearing my treasured cardboard crown from Burger King. Now I'm not and I do not, for the life of me, know where it went or how it escaped my head. The part of my hair that isn't tightly tied down is a peculiar cross between tentacles and curls right now, which makes a casual tumble unlikely.

So, the Salarian Infiltrator, also known as Baby's First Sniper.  Without a doubt, the sniper par excellence for the game.  Some would argue for the Geth Infiltrator, but that beast is just a stone cold killing machine.  It tears things to shreds with any weapon....the Claymore shotgun is a favourite build, but I've seen them tear apart entire groups of enemies with the Talon pistol or SMGs before now.  I am fairly sure even on Silver, a Predator X wielding GI would be viable...assuming you weren't kicked from every lobby in the game for taking the piss first.

What makes the Salarian so formidable?  Well, two things really: Energy Drain and Proxy Mine.

Energy Drain is a very useful ability.  Any enemy with a barrier or shield, it will be damaged, with the power adding to your own shields.  If you have no shields, draining some automatically starts them regenerating.  At the highest levels, damaging a barrier or shield will restore your shield entirely and give you added damage resistance for several seconds.

But that's not all.  Energy Drain does direct damage to synthetics, meaning you can kill Geth with it.  And, against organics, it usefully staggers them...setting them up for the perfect headshot.

Proxy Mine, on the other hand, is great at setting up traps on choke points of the map, or debuffing enemy bosses before going for the kill.  With the build I use, it does just shy of 1000 points of damage in a three metre radius, and then for anything still alive, they will take an extra 20% of damage from all sources for 8 seconds.

On top of that, you have the normal infiltrator's friend of Tactical Cloak, which I have evolved for an extra 80% damage when cloaked.  105% with a sniper rifle, though this weekend I'll be using the Saber, which is an assault rifle (if in name only).  If I were playing the higher difficulty levels, I might evolve it for duration and lose 40% damage, because it makes doing the objective rounds so much easier (especially the dreaded round 10 activation challenge), but that's not really an issue where I'm playing at.

It does mean only having three points in fitness, so you're a bit of a glass cannon, but energy drain makes up for that significantly, as does Tactical Cloak.  You're nowhere near as fragile as, say, the Geth Infiltrator or N7 Shadow, and this is in fact a viable build all the way up to Platinum.

Since this weekend's challenge is the assault rifle, I'm using the Saber.  Long range, hits hard, not many spare rounds or clips to the shot, but more than the average sniper rifle.  Thrown on the scope and the armour piercing mod...I'd use the extended barrel or the high velocity barrel if I thought I could get away with it, but my power recharge rate is already below +100% and I don't want it getting any lower, and I don't want to spend any more armour piercing ammo than I have to.  Gear Bonus is the Assault Rifle Amp III, for an extra 10% weapons damage.  I would normally strap this guy with an SMG and Sniper Rifle and give him the Guerrilla Upgrade V for an extra 12% damage on each weapon, but obviously neither of these bonuses are helpful here.

Try Hard Mode: engaged.  Now I just gotta wait for the operation to actually start.  I hope I'm going to get another Valiant or Hurricane this weekend, but no doubt I'll end up with the Eagle, again.  Or worse, the Crusader.

Will vacuum up all the holist later today.  I have a confined space entry & critical lift to oversee.

I'll be back on in about 3-4 hours.

Lift cancelled because of EVERYTHING IS FUCKED.

Anyway, I've had it up to my bottom lip with Holist.  Every time we start getting something moving here, asshole shows up and derails everything.  I can't holler at anyone for responding to him, because I do it myself...But writing here has become about as much fun as writing on 23AE, with the Uncle BadTouch family trolls shitting all over everything.

I am open to suggestions.
