=== Description ===

A variant of the Avenger that fires two-round burst, the Valkyrie was once standard issue for new recruits to the Milky Way's Alliance military. The exceptionally well-crafted rifle is also a hot black market item. How the [[Andromeda Initiative]] procured a crate intended for N7-trained Alliance fighters remains a mystery.

Revision as of 04:35, 26 February 2021

Disambiguous This article is about the weapon in Mass Effect 3 & Mass Effect: Andromeda. For the Asari Sentinel class in Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer, see Asari Valkyrie Sentinel. For the class power of the Asari Valkyrie Sentinel in Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer, see Asari Valkyrie.

The N7 Valkyrie is an assault rifle in Mass Effect 3 and Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Mass Effect 3

Description

After the carnage of the Battle of the Citadel, Alliance officers commissioned a new rifle for their ground forces. A variation of the popular Avenger design, the Valkyrie is now standard issue for new recruits. Exceptionally well-crafted, accurate, and packing ample firepower, the rifle is a hot black-market item when it surfaces.

Acquisition

The N7 Valkyrie is included in the N7 Warfare Gear pack as a retail bonus item for players who pre-ordered either edition of the game from certain retailers. It is also included in Mass Effect 3: Special Edition on Wii U.[1] An e-mail from EDI is received if the weapon was obtained from these sources.

Valkyrie Assault Rifle



From: EDI


The N7 Valkyrie assault rifle is issued to every new Alliance recruit and is standard issue among ground forces. Alliance telemetry shows the weapon displays excellent efficiency in combat. Since the Normandy is now an Alliance vessel, I was able to requisition a number of these rifles for use among the crew. You will find them in the weapons lockers. EDI


It is also available in Mass Effect 3: Omega, and can be found during The Invasion of Omega segment of the mission.

Multiplayer

Weapons are randomly rewarded through purchases of item packs. The N7 Valkyrie is categorized as ultra-rare.

Player Notes

Singleplayer
  • The Valkyrie is a two-round burst assault rifle with a standard thermal clip capacity of sixteen shots (equaling eight bursts).
  • The main strength of this rifle is that it has good damage and high accuracy, meaning the Valkyrie will kill enemies quickly and efficiently at mid to long-range.
  • The two-round burst nature of this weapon gives this rifle a slightly better chance in close quarter fights than the other semi-automatic assault rifles.
  • Weight is the biggest flaw with the Valkyrie, weighing in heavier than most assault rifles, making it difficult to use powers regularly when used with multiple weapons.
  • Another weakness is that because of the burst-nature of this gun, the Valkyrie has a fairly mild upward pull when firing. This can be remedied by making sure the cross-hairs are on target before firing to maintain effectiveness.
  • The Assault Rifle Stability Damper mod will make the Valkyrie much easier to fire rapidly as it eliminates much of the weapon's upward pull allowing the player to stay on target with little effort.

Multiplayer
  • The Valkyrie is powerful when shot at a point blank range, because with the right timing, the double shot can instantly break the shields of a Geth Hunter.
  • It is recommended to use the Valkyrie with a rapid firing weapon like the N7 Hurricane to counter enemies when cornered at close range.
  • Although powerful and precise, the N7 Valkyrie is a fairly heavy assault rifle and can only be upgraded through Commendation Packs or by ultra-rare awards. Classes that are more reliant on powers but still seek a precise assault rifle should consider a lighter rifle such as the M-15 Vindicator or Geth Pulse Rifle.
  • The N7 Valkyrie is a deadly weapon in the hands of classes specialized for headshot damage, such as the Turian Soldier or Quarian Marksman Soldier. Marksman and the stability bonuses of Turian Veteran make the N7 Valkyrie even more precise.
  • In an Update on the 29th of January, the Valkyrie has had its base weight level (level I) decreased from 1.75-1.25 to 1.5-1.25.
    • It also now does 3x damage with headshots instead of 2.5x damage.

Mass Effect: Andromeda

Description

A variant of the Avenger that fires two-round burst, the Valkyrie was once standard issue for new recruits to the Milky Way's Alliance military. The exceptionally well-crafted rifle is also a hot black market item. How the Andromeda Initiative procured a crate intended for N7-trained Alliance fighters remains a mystery.

Trivia

N7 Valkyrie Prop
  • In July 2011, Harrison Krix, of Volpin Props was contracted by BioWare to produce a replica of the rifle, then known as simply the "N7 Rifle", in time for the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con. The process of making the model was detailed extensively on the Volpin Props website[2] and on Episode 26 of BioWare Pulse.[3]
