Bugged Gun

Question

99% sure this wasnt confirmed to be fixed, simply putting it here in case devs aren't aware of this problem in the hopes that they fix this in the legendary edition. A few months ago I ran into a bug for the first time in ME3 where a gun couldnt kill dr eva before she reached you at the end of the mars mission. When i remembered this I quickly uploaded it to youtube so i can link it, far easier to understand when you can see it in front of you.

Mass Effect 3 Mars Bug/Unintended Mechanic

Pretty sure it is called the acolyte. I had never experienced it before because i'm pretty sure it is a dlc gun and I just never had it on my original playthroughs without dlc.

The gun clearly knocks her back but it seems this 'cutscene' is timed so after a specific time the cutscene of Eva whooping your butt will play even if she isnt close to you at the time.

This gun does not appear to be able to kill her, I attempted it quite a few times and even with my timing on point I only managed 2 shots and couldnt stop her with them.

The gun charges up which makes it super tricky to use in this specific scene because the time slowdown really messes with your muscle memory and visual queues for when the gun is ready to shoot.

If this gun is going to be available in MELE because everyone gets dlc I hope they either change the scene so knocking her back buys you time, so the gun can take her down OR just deny access to the acolyte on Mars and unlock it after this mission.

This is mainly an issue because if you want to change your gun you basically have to restart the Mars mission and consciously avoid this gun.

No, it is impossible to kill Dr. Eva with the Acolyte due to its 1 second charge in an unmoded game as well. 
Same as with the Executioner,&nbsp;M-77 Paladin, and the Scorpion.

I hope they will fix this in the LE, but if not, just don't bring this guns. 😉

oh&nbsp;@Psychotps&nbsp;i didnt see the mod part haha. yeah im always unmodded, know nothing about mods.&nbsp;@holger1405&nbsp;this is my point tbh, i made this thread in the hope it would remind the devs to fix this issue (if they havnt already) OR to just remove all affected guns as options for the mars mission. Just have them become available after mars if you dont want to fix the issues, saves people that dont know about the problem from getting stuck.&nbsp;

@GrimReaperTaken I'm pretty sure that was a bug with the EGM mod. They made a number of updates attempting to fix it. I think they gave up and just ended up having your squad-mates kill her.

@Psychotps If the squad mates kill her I never figured out how to trigger it. I had to restart mars and change gun.
Also i never heard about them trying to fix it multiple times, why was it so hard for them?
The simple fixes I see would be to remove the time limit till the cutscene so knocking her back would actually buy you time to recharge your gun and shoot again or to temporarily buff the damage the gun does in this one scene. heck give it a 50% bonus against cerberus ai's so it only works on her and doesnt affect the rest of the game.

@GrimReaperTakenNot sure, I have the EGM mod, but never had the issue myself.
