Description

Geth pulse rifles are comparable to a standard stock assault rifle, but finely balanced with low-recoil and incredibly high accuracy. The pulse rifle fires a rapid stream of light-weight slugs which are wrapped in a phasic envelope to increase their damage.

Acquisition

The Geth Pulse Rifle can be found during the mission Priority: Geth Dreadnought, on top of a crate just prior to entering the Operations Center. (It is also purchasable from Elkoss Combine Arsenal Supplies post-mission if it was missed.)

  • The rate of fire of the Geth Pulse Rifle is significantly higher than any other assault rifle, making it ideal for applying inhibiting effects of ammo powers, which have a fixed chance of occurring per bullet.
