X5 Ghost

Did anybody try this bad boy yet? 

I gave it a shot in SP but only had RP to level V though it gave me a good insight how it is.

Sadly it has only 3 augment slots so you dont have many options...tried with a double mod + 2 kinetics and i can say its pretty good. Had a huge clip size as well (141 with extended magazine and almost 700 spare)

Not a game breaker like the Harrier was, but certainly better and stronger than the Revenant (for example). Also the longer you hold the trigger the more accurate it gets - easy headshots even at medium-longer ranges. Has pretty nice weight and reload time too.

Needs a bit more testing but so far so good

Edit: tested on Insanity, lvl44 against kett.

Edit2: without any active powers. passive bonuses taken however from the combat tree.

    @CasperTheLich Im sure its gonna get patched either in a form of hotfix which should happen soon (did read it in the bug reports they will roll out one for the SOS Mission on Kadara which caused freezing for many people), or in the next patch.

    @TECHound Here's a video with various augments tested on normal with electrical conduits its pretty much like a MW version of the P.A.W. 

    The damage you take on insanity is not that bad. It is on the lower levels but as you level up and get better armor you can afford to stay in the open longer until you are forced to cover. It really depends on your build, i prefer to build some tankiness like 1-2 items and the rest is class specified, as i like being mobile and that can get me into serious mess at times 😃

    How did you make the Revenant accurate by the way? :D For me on insanity it was a garbage both the damage and the accuracy even at point blank range at lvl VI

    Nothing really, but I shoot it much like you would shoot an AR in RLF, never holding down the trigger, just a triple tab on the trigger, so it never really loose the base accuracy 🙂

    My Revenant with augments and mods:

    But like you can see from the image, the Ghost is only rank 5 so far, so I will keep upgrading it, however the weapons don't usually change that much apart from the damage, but I guess we will see 😃

    Oh that makes sense then.

    At lvl5 it gives you some sense how the weapon is gonna be on lvl10 with a slightly lesser damage so if you dont like a weapon on lvl5 you probably wont either on lvl10 :D There are some exceptions but not many.

     
     
  • I haven't tried it in SP yet but have it at X in MP. Honestly its not worth it there & i feel its just an ok weapon. The accuracy & dmg is kind of underwhelming as a rare weapon.

    i think you might be using it wrong then, or it's completely different in mp. to me it seems to handle more like an M-249 SAW or russian RPK, as opposed to an actual assault rifle.

    ---edit

    if you don't know what a SAW or RPK actually is... google is your friend.

    Un-fun fact. I just lost valuable Augments because I didn't know ahead of time that you can't deconstruct this gun. 

    Can't have a patch that adds things without it breaking something else, it seems.

    I guess I should start waiting until they release the Game of the Year edition for Bioware games, wait for them to release a relatively bug-light version.

    and that's likely why i stopped playing such online games... just give me a Dragunov, or MSG-90 and sit back and watch.
