DrusK Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Facing a corpus nullifier when using a sniper is the worst. It would be extremely cool if there could be a new punch through mod for snipers that allow for nullifier shield penetration. Hear me out : - Remove Shred from sniper mod pool - Add a new sniper exclusive mod that grants Shred's punch through (1.2) and the ability to punch through nullifier shield. I don't know. Just an idea. May be crappy. I'd like it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phobonaut Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) It's crappy. Shred is necessary to make the Lanka functional. A better idea would be to turn sniper weapons (all sniper weapons) into anti-nullifier weapons. Or to let punchthrough work on nullifier shields. I appreciate the way you think though, snipers should be anti-nullifier weapons. Have a +1. Edited October 13, 2015 by Phobonaut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziegrif Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Unfortunately that's a bandaid and not an actual fix for Sniper rifles. The punch through should be innate to the weapon type and bows. Which would make it an assassin weapon that picks off the more difficult enemies. Making it a mod just isn't good enough to dig Snipers out of the hole that the enemy count has put them in. But you're on the right track and it has been suggested more than once. I'd make base punch through 7-10 meters. Because I love the ME3 Javelin. Edited October 13, 2015 by Ziegrif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrusK Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Yeah, i'm not sure why i thought removing shred was a good idea. Diversity is great. And yes, the impact on nullifier shields by high damage weapons is too low imo. I tink they're planning to rework snipers as they did with shotguns though.

Phobonaut Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Base punchthrough of 7-10m? For snipers? Yes please... That would give the Lanka a base punchthrough of 12-15m... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaSierraMike Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 In the meantime, run a throwing weapon with punch through. It would go through nullifier shields and it explodes on impact if you run minimal bounce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbsky1 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I think DE made it very clear that no weapon should be specifically useful against nullifiers. The Sonicor change made that very very clear. Only certain dev approved weapons are allowed to be effective against the nullifier master race.

YasaiTsume Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Make Sniper innately punch through. I mean cmon man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeraxis Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) All snipers and marksman rifles could use Innate Punch through of 2m at the minimum. These also should have the ability by default to punch through nully shields but should also cut the damage of the shot in half at the very least.
